I ordered my 22 on 2/22/22, built 7/27/22 and as you can guess, still no train ride yet. I am over 10 months and counting .3500 HO with no recalls

How did you manage that?
the credit union i go to does it i guess i asked the person if the interest rates go up will it go up for me too and she said we can give you a guaranteed interest rate for up tp 3 months on a pre approved amount and as long as the amount of the loan is equal or less than the preapproved amount they will honor it

I figured it would take a while to build the truck. It is fully loaded. but I did not expect it to take this long to ship it.

7.99 at mine as of today I think
That is awful! We homeschool our kids and just finished watching the Dave Ramsey videos about budgeting. He recommends paying cash for cars. I actually ready his book about 15 years ago and bought a used truck in 2009 when the prices collapsed. I have driven that truck for 15 years and have now ordered another one. During that time, I put away $400 per month to save for my next truck. Now I can pay cash once it is delivered. I hope to drive it for another 15 years and will be saving then for my next vehicle. So I am still making a payment, but to myself and will earn a little interest on it rather than paying interest. I do know that we are all in a different situation so this may not work for everyone. But for me, it sure has worked out.

I discovered Dave Ramsey the week after I ordered my truck. Come to find out Ive always been davish. I had the money to pay for mine in cash but when the truck came, they were offering zero percent so I took that and used my cash to pay off the house. I wanted to call or write the show to see what he would say about that scenario. I know he would advise against taking the zero percent car loan but I wanted to hear why, lol.

Planning to pay cash for mine. Perhaps the car market will crash in next 6-9 months and we will see rebates and 0% financing like the good old days when it gets delivered.

That was the scenario I was hoping for. Rebates would have been better but zero percent was still somewhat beneficial. Turns out I was very lucky as the zero percent went away about 2 weeks after I got mine. The car market is taking a pretty good beating here. I'd think they are going to have to do something as nobody seems to be buying anything around here.

I would take the 0% down over the rebates as I wouldn’t pay it up front but hey let’s see how long it takes till my truck shows up

i went and locked in a interest rate and loan approval a few weeks ago and is good for 3 months 3.75%
On my ‘22, I actually took out my loan with Navy Federal the minute it was loaded on the train. I had the check and had started to play interest on the loan before I actually had the truck, but I locked in the rates (Which climbed another .5% the following week). The difference in interest rates from the ‘22 to the ‘23 means my payment is going to go up $200 a month, so I am putting down more to keep the payments the same.

Did anyone else that has a window sticker recently rebuild their truck on the website? I just did because I was board and noticed pricing is going down on some options. My total came out $700 cheaper now.

I don't think the website has updated/higher pricing yet. When I build my truck it comes out to $86,225 which is what the original MSRP was when I ordered in October. The window sticker shows $86,800. Base price is up $285, SO Cummins is up $100, Level 1 equipment is up $190.

I built one online before Christmas and it was higher then as well. According to my window sticker the base price, Two Tech, Safety Group and Laramie Level 1 are down $100 each. I ordered back in September, so overall its up $2000 since then. Just happened to noticed pricing went down comparing the two.

What is this window sticker you speak of? Hahaha. All I have is a low quality image that "may not exactly match the purchased vehicle."

So regarding the digital instrument cluster…

Attached is the build sheet for my second ordering attempt, which is a limited with the level one equipment package. I don’t see a JAN code on there which I believe was the code for the digital cluster. Maybe they’ve pulled that from the limiteds as well?
