My biggest issue was my trade-in. Shipping Trade-in then return shipping for the New truck. MD never got a quote for me but said I was looking at $1000-$1200 each way if I wasn't to go that route because they're both duallys. My wife offered to drive and pick the truck up for me. Ends up being a 3day trip and will be about $1200 is expenses, so about 1/2 the cost of shipping.@DPeglow, I'm in South Florida. I'm currently waiting on a shipping quote from Robert at MD but am strongly considering flying out and driving it back. It's about 1,000 miles or so for me.
Beautiful truck. Mine should end up looking similar once I Night Edition-ify mine.. If it ever ships.Here so hope for the September Orders.
Wife is going to pick it up for me next week. She gets to put the first 1,000 miles on it.
Must be something going on in belvidere the UP runs 24 hours a day running auto racks from belvidere to west chicago and back.I have no clue what is going on. The plant is closed up. Its only being used to store Ram trucks from what I can see/hear. I pass by regularly in the winter and summer on the way to and from our cottage. The trucks were not there the last time I passed through towards the end of snowmobile season (end of march)
Hey OldGuy: I understand. I ordered Sep 13th. Your note was helpful to me. I've been in a funk the last two days about the situation, but there's not a lot we can do to change it. On the one hand, we are happy for the folk taking deliveries. On the other hand, it's hard not to get jealous. I searched the internet and the trucks out there are missing about 5 of the options I ordered. Plus, I really don't want to go through the negotiation phases on a so-so truck. Even while I was working, there were always sad variances. If we don't get our trucks, we will just pick ourselves up and order a 2024. Sometimes misery needs company. We have a right to be angry, but my personal motto is to dust off and persevere.I apologize for the Rant, but I’m so pissed off by the secrecy by Stellantis, and the complete lack of information about the status of my truck order. The dealer claims Stellantis doesn’t tell them anything. I’m at day 219 since the order was confirmed and day 107 since built. But , based on the complete lack of info, I think my truck only existed on paper…. Or was sacrificed to a volcano in Mexico so others could get their truck. I’m glad some folks are actually getting their truck, and I know some folks have been waiting longer than me. But I think I’m going to go buy a brand X truck off the lot and have it customized for me. I have lost all confidence in Ram and they don’t deserve my business
The trucks shipped are likely the severely hail damaged. Mine is likely in the cohort.Must be something going on in belvidere the UP runs 24 hours a day running auto racks from belvidere to west chicago and back.
I'm right there with you, my 08 sold today and the RAM tracker says my new one is off the production line awaiting shipping. I hope I don't have to wait as long as so many of youBeautiful truck. Mine should end up looking similar once I Night Edition-ify mine.. If it ever ships.
Sold my 2018 yesterday, so now the waiting gets worse.
Yeah, I don't have the trade in issue and that's sweet that your wife is ready, willing and able! Saving some $$ too is always a good thing. I'm flying out on Monday to pick mine up. I'll look for yours while I'm there. I'm pretty sure the Limited's still have the stitching on the door panels and in that pic, you can almost make it out.My biggest issue was my trade-in.

Curious to know how difficult it was to take the tape off. I'll be driving mine back and was considering options but that one didn't come to mind however, it's a damn good idea lol.Rock chip fear is real…
I just tried to Google Night Edition-ify and it said see gprguy for infoBeautiful truck. Mine should end up looking similar once I Night Edition-ify mine.. If it ever ships.

Who knows… I’ve been built just sittin JB at the outside vendor waiting on who knows what for 2 months. No way that a bed step or lights can take that long. Not to mention I know of people waiting double my time for the same things. But also, I am Delmonico red so maybe that plays more into your theory…I took a sample of who was left on the crowdsourcing list. I may be wrong, but it feels like it's made up of those who did not choose the color black.
