I ordered from Mark Dodge in Lake Charles LA.
50 days from day of order, to delivery at dealers lot.
I believe that to be the worlds record fastest build of a 2021 Ram HD.
Perhaps the 650 mile distance from Saltillo to Lake Charles has something to do with the fast shipment.
Shipping from LA to Sacramento was three days.
The OTD price was the best I found. And I got quotes from them all.
How long ago did you place your order? I ordered my 2500 from Mark Dodge three weeks ago and would be absolutely thrilled if it only took 50 days to get the truck. How much was the shipping and did Mark Dodge arrange it for you?

I also ordered from Mark Dodge. Great experience. Aaron is the man. Took 61 days from order to delivered to dealer.

Agreed, Aaron is the man. It would be fantastic to get the truck that quickly. When I ordered on 3/19 Aaron estimated 10-13 weeks. I've been counting the days. Time usually flies, but not when you're waiting for your dream truck. :)

Placed order Jan 21
Shipping was 1650
I had Aaron put shipping bid for 1500, after a few days I got antsy and arranged myself through a broker for the 1650.
Took a 230 mile trian ride to Sacramento to get truck from transporter and saved 800 smackers.
I think .80 per mile is a good estimate in todays world. Fuel prices are on the high side.

What is this MFG rebate you speak of?
This was for my 2019 that I bought last year in February. I can't recall if it was actually a mfg rebate or dealer discount. Just how the paperwork was written.

what dealers/salesperson at the dealership do you all recommend on the east coast, figure northeast would be best, but anywhere from florida to new england? saw a 2021 Ltd longhorn 3500 DRW, i think the sticker was like 86x, and they are quoting e out the door of like 79k they said some rebates went away effective 4/1 here on the east coast, northeast. ive bought from them before, usually its more in that 9,10k discount range. just more like 7,8 now. is that about the norm or should i keep shopping elsewhere?

2021 3500 srw laramie loaded with everything except sunroof . MSRP $82510 and dealer selling it to me for $72325 minus another $1500 bonus cash and truecar discount = $70825 +TTL.
So how did you get the Truecar discount? What were the qualifications?

Don't forget to check your junk mail for RAM incentives. They sent me one in the middle of March for $4000 for bonus cash that I just saw last week. Spoke with my dealer and luckily the dates of my order and qualification dates of the offer coincide and we got it added to my order.

I have a 1,500 coupon but expires 4/31 and don’t think my truck will arrive by then. How does the order date play into that - my understanding was that for the cab inventives it was based on delivery and not he order date - meaning if your truck arrives after the expiration you’re out of luck. Thanks in advance

It generates a code you give to your dealer, only thing is they expire every month so wait till your truck is almost here or you have to use a new email.
If you use gmail, you can just add "+1", "+2" to the end of your email address and it will be delivered to your regular inbox. i.e. JohnDoe+1@gmail.com
