Delivery Time Estimates

[orlando bull]

I'm KZ status too as of today.

Dealer called and left me a vm after I posted, but, they said 1-2 weeks for delivery... not sure if it's true, but, I know Orlando is a rail hub, so, maybe shipping will be somewhat fast here.

Going to order my tonneau cover tomorrow I think.

Pro-tips...

1. Be nice to them, some will give more info than others, but, they're doing what they are trained to do

2. Lead them a bit. My dealer gave me a shipping date, which turned out to be a build date. I didn't tell them I knew that through 2-3 interactions. When I finally did, they gave me some more info like, "the date in the system is usually a week of thing, not specific". That was after I said... 'my dealer told me...'

3. Confirm your status... Educate yourself, they won't say "you're D1", they'll tell you that "your parts are available and are being allocated" or something similar, I would always follow with, 'so, that's D1 then?'


I have hit them up a lot, they have always been nice. Oh, be prepared to give name, address, email, phone about 95% of the time. Some will not ask, but, others will. I actually had my best experience today and they didn't ask, so, it's interesting. I think the ones that are following training to a t will ask, and, will volunteer less info.

Ram Said my truck is on the way to the dealership and it has a ramp arrival date of 4-15-19. Anyone know how long it takes from this point? im so impatient

My Dennis dillon salesman said mine hits the ramp in salt lake on the 20th. He said from there it's a black hole as they wait until a truck can get a reasonable load. They can't track it at that stage.

Wow, 10-days to the dealership! That's awesome. Maybe my dealer is right and mine is less than 2 weeks out.

Can't wait to hear how you like your truck, bummer than you can't get to it for another couple weeks.

Knowing it is there and not being able to pick it up must be the most frustrating thing!

The dealer told me when it was unloaded in St. Louis and said as soon as they could get a truck load it would be picked up. He really thought it would arrive early in the next week so it is too late for me to get now. Had we known it would show up so quick I could have taken delivery yesterday. My next chance to go it is on the 26th so I have the long wait.

When Ram says it will be at the ramp. What does that exactly mean? They said mine will be at the ramp today.

I was told by my dealer mine was on ramp 4/9, I talked to Ram last night and it's now in El Paso, Tx and will be on a truck to Phoenix from there! I should have it by end of month or earlier is what Ram told me.

Anyone else coming through Orlando? Apparently my truck was "railyard departure" yesterday. Dealer is anticipating 4/27. I'm hoping it beats that estimate, but, I am not sure how long they take on the journey this way. I believe I read that they have to go through New Orleans, then on to Orlando.

I forget where I read it (some board somewhere), but yes, it goes from Saltillo to New Orleans and then onto destination.
Saltillo is just outside (west) of Monterrey, so it looks like up to Eagle Pass for entry.

I just wish my dealer would be more helpful, had a 20 min phone talk with him and all he kept saying is that it is kz status, and he knows nothing else through his dealer connect. Frustrating. my truck is apparently already gotten to the ramp and said it was okayed to ship. Can anyone shine any light on this and when the truck may show up?

 

[Don-T]

I had the same issue. The dealers don’t seem to have much say in when a vehicle gets loaded on a train. Mine stat there for about 21 days in KZ status. The dealer did let me know as soon as the truck crossed into the US through Eagle Pass, and as soon as it was unloaded from the train in St. Louis. All you can do is wait.
