2024 Order Tracking & Discussion

[LegendaryLawman]

I think I averaged 18-20 mpg on the trip back from Louisiana with the diesel, but wasn’t really paying attention to it. That was before the topper was installed.

In Colorado, I had to pay the CO sales tax of 2.9%. The county also has their local sales tax of 2.55%. Since I picked the truck up out of state and drove it back, I didn’t have to pay the county sales tax. If it had been delivered or purchased in state, I would have had to pay it.

I did get nailed with an $1800 registration fee.

$1800 reg fee!!!! Holy smokes

 

[LegendaryLawman]

Lucky you! My (unicorporated county) tax will be 7.75% and that's GOOD in CA. But reg fee should be $865 according to my DMV lookup.

18-20 sounds good for 75mph! I'd take it. I generally cruise at 74 and get 20-21 in my F150 (3.73 ratio) at that speed. Do you have the SO or HO? I guess it doesn't matter at that speed since 6th is 0.63 ratio on both, and 3.73 axle ratio on both.

Wait till your get your insurance quote too. Lol.

I got a hold of Anthony today and he was cool- he said my cell # is on the national no call list and it won’t allow him to respond and he got busy, forgot etc so I’ll keep it on emails next time. We had a long conversation, he’s a good dude…..Lol…My truck should arrive 4/29 to port Allen then sit and wait for a hotshot to MD

I've been lurking here for a while, but since my truck arrived at Mark Dodge today, I thought I'd add some data from my ordering experience.

2500 Laramie CCSB w/ Hemi

Ordered 2/23
D1 3/21
E 3/27
KZ 4/2
KZM 4/7
KZX 4/23

RamTracker initially predicted 6/7 delivery from KZ until KZM where it switched to 4/29 where it still stands.

So exactly 2 months from order to delivery. Other than four weeks to get scheduled, everything went quickly and faster than anticipated. All paperwork and wire transfers taken care of today and picking up on Thursday. Kudos to Mark Dodge crew for an easy and no BS purchase process.

Wow, congrats!! Even with the long time to get scheduled you still skipped the line in front of me! I love the delmonico, I almost got that but stuck with my boring pearl white out tradition. Love the CCSB with the $95 clearance lamps!

My dealer is giving me updates every time it checks in at a train station, and look at this whack path it has taken from the factory, to get to California... By the way it spent 5 days in that Texas triangle, maybe hopping from train to train, not sure. But logistically if it is taking UP (orange tracks) to California, why didn't it just take a west turn at Eagle Pass?!? Sheesh. Check-ins I circled in green, and drew the blue line to show the order it checked in on the crazy stupid route.

 

[LegendaryLawman]

Now if I could only find someone to swap my pearl white hood to their sport pearl white hood. I couldn't justify 4k for night edition....Not the end of the world but the sport hood is cool looking

Man, these trains can really book it when they want to. Checked in a Yuma today, meaning it made it this entire distance in only 24hrs. Hope this gives enough days to get from the railyard (near San Bernardino) to the dealer so I can nab it Apr30.

You might want to wait for May discounts. I’d almost bet they will be the same or larger than April

Man I came in back here today to see if you had already taken delivery! I can't believe you still don't have your truck. I'm hoping next weekend you will be riding in it.

Anthony is as straight shot as it gets, I honestly never met a group of guys so honest as the brothers over @ Mark Dodge man. These guys are the definition of BUSINESS. They have earned my business and everyone I can recommend to them for sure. No one like these guys out in the fields.

On a happier note, how are y'all liking your new trucks? The old gang of @Jersimon @Gun138 @DuallyContender @KneeDeep ??

I’m loving the truck! Got 1000 miles on it 3 weeks. I added a heavy rubber mat from tractor supply to the bed, and I added a bedrug on the tailgate. Still contemplating on a 4” lift and bigger wheels and tires

Beautiful truck! I'm doing the 3.25" Carli on mine and adding 37's that's about it.

I’ll look into the Carli also. Thanks

 

[DuallyContender]

I’ll look into the Carli also. Thanks

Carli is the best, I have had them on the 2020,2022 and now doing it on the 2024.

Thanks for the detailed train map very informative. Is this a tracker you found or is it coming from your dealer.

I slapped a GPS unit on the train in Mexico and have been stalking it. j/k..

Now that it shipped, my dealer has been checking daily (M-F) for changes, and when it changes (checks in at a station) on the internal tracker he gives me the screenshot. I downloaded the BNSF rail map from their website as it shows all the train routes. I drew the waypoints on myself to show the forum, in case anyone else found it interesting or useful.

I’m impressed Ron’s doing that for you, pretty nice of him.

So I just thought of another question. I have a set of Ram 2500 wheels with TPMS sensors. Will they work on a 3500 that has TPIS? Does TPIS use different sensors? No sensors? Anybody run into this? Or have any ideas?
