Greatings all. I placed my "Build Order" last week. Looking forward to build and delivery of a 2020 3500 Limited Mega Cab DRW with 6' 4" bed in Granite Crystal Metallic! It will be my first Ram to own, but had a 1500 in the '90's for work. Currently driving a 2010 Tundra and wanted to "Go Big". I'll update with pictures when it arrives.

Congrats and welcome to the forum. You definitely went big and bought a good truck at the same time. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Several guys on here custom ordered their trucks and can give you some solid advice on their experiences.

I’ve got almost the identical ‘19 model and love it!’2A2C6AB6-20E5-4CC8-A550-47E2CD93DBBD.jpeg7C7DA8E6-2374-4042-BBC9-207FCAFE2DE1.jpegB1FA1E34-618B-43F4-A6FE-D2BA60177176.jpeg916EB145-3135-47D3-9960-EA2D6361094D.jpeg

I was torn between the limited and the longhorn. The wife broke the tie as she loves the interior of the limited and was very impressed with the back seat of the Mega Cab. Do you have a "Due In" date yet?

Yeah, both are identical price wise when equipped identically. It's really a matter of preference, brown or black leather.
I think the truck should get to the dealer any day now as it was unloaded off the train a week ago. I know there were many vehicles parked in the storage lot as none were delivered to dealers during a few weeks due to pandemic. So there is/was a backlog in delivery.
But in any cases, I'm holding off the transaction until FCA Canada finally give out some incentive on 2020s HD trucks. I'll wait, there is no rush.

I was told at the dealership that FCA was offering 0% for 84 Months financing, but because the delivery date is so far out, I can't lock in any financing. I'd assume there are also rebates in lieu of the financing break, but it may be regionally offered. Hope it works out good for you. These beasts are NOT CHEAP!

The truck came in ahead of predictions, on 20 June. I took delivery and left behind my old reliable 2010 Tundra that served me well since new. A few pics added, including one of the "trade-in". I've since gotten the MOPAR Hard Bed Cover added but don't have pictures of that just yet. I'll definitely add some though as I'm still on the fence about it being the right choice.20200626_192810.jpg20200626_192824.jpg20200626_192840.jpg20200626_193240.jpg20200626_194457.jpg20200626_204311.jpg20200627_071754.jpg20200702_183855.jpg

Correct, it is the Charcoal Crystal Clear-coat. It's the color that makes the wife happy. Oh, the interior makes her happy too!

Some of you dually guys need bigger garages...lol. great looking trucks
Totally agree with you. Mine is already two feet deeper than standard and still a tight fit. Grateful for the shorter wheelbase on the Mega Cab & 6'4" bed that Ram offers. I'm not really losing much in capability either as the payload is slightly over 5100 pounds.
