Thoughts on when ram website will be updated?

[SavageBrewer]

So I notice they have a section on the ramtrucks.com website for the new HD, but there is minimal real info in there.
Any thoughts when we might see more detailed specs or truck builder?

Also I think I read somewhere that the 6.4 Hemi model will be mated with the new ZF 8AP transmission, but that transmission isn't slated to be available until early 2020. Does that mean initially they will be selling the 6.4 powered 2500/3500 with the current 6 speed?

I have no clue as it seems I’m on the site daily looking for more info and updated photos.

With the 1500, 1Feb was the build and 13Mar was the price. So anyday for the build and a lil over the month for price.

I guess I need to go look again at the transmission...I thought it was the same as the hemi in the 1500...what I get for Assuming

 

[SavageBrewer]

Yeah it looks like the 8HP75 is the transmission, I think that at some point the new 8AP is slated to make its way over, maybe a couple years out.

Definitely need the configurator to be released. Need to know what colors are available as I'm considering a Power Wagon.

 

[redriderbob]

It should be up and running within the next couple of weeks...

ZF 8 speed is standard on the ‘19 Power Wagon, not sure if it replaces the six speed altogether or not

Emailed RAM about a couple of things this was the reply about the 'Build and Price':

"the Build & Price feature on the Ram Truck website is a reflection of dealership inventory and not the factory order system; we do not anticipate it updating until Late-March/Early-April as the all-new 2019 Ram Heavy Duty models begin to arrive within dealership inventory. "

 

[hutchman]

And I thought they were arriving already.....

Very few from what I've seen... if cars.com is to be believed, there are three 2500s on the lot within 50 miles of me and 20 'on the way'.

Mt comment was mean to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as I have one already!!!! LOL!

Well, I understand they want to reduce existing inventory, but I want a 2019, and can't do builds on their site. They are already over half a model year behind. The other guys have been selling 2019s for many months, and have unveiled their 2020 versions. I'm sorry, but their logic sux. I like to ponder things, and do sample builds for a while, in order to arrive at the equipment that is right for me.

I'd like a little more information/clarification on the options... right now it's more of a 'look what we got' rather than 'this is how it works'
And I'd like to find a build I'm looking at on the lot so I can see the payload... the Laramie I posted in the other thread is either close or a bit heavier than what I'm looking at (I hope).

I'm kind of a nerd, but, thought someone else may care that owners manual info is now available through ramtrucks.com for 19s. I downloaded a few things today to help pass the time.

I hope those tow numbers aren't correct. Only 12,000 lbs for the 2500 Mega Cab loaded up? That seems very low.

Apparently if you go to build and price, change the 18's to 19's in the web address, it will let you build your baby. Enjoy.
