I've still been checking this thread from time to time. Just FYI my (cancelled, deposit refunded) 1/21 order is still sitting in D1.. crazy

I am loyal to Ram over GM/Ford so it's not a question of Ram vs. others. For now I am scouring what's available on dealer lots (not much, especially at or below invoice pricing). Another option is to trade my 2014 1500 Limited straight up or plus some cash for a similar year 2500 or 3500 to...

Very frustrating and disappointing end for me as I made the hard decision today to cancel my order. I've been in D1 since Feb 18 and even though "all the parts for your build have been collected", the estimate ship date slipped another 2 weeks. That date has slipped 4 or 5 times now so I have...

3 months today since I placed my order..... still sitting in D1 purgatory. Dealer claims to be just as helpless as me, the only thing he could do was mention it to his "zone rep". Gee, thanks. So now I've taken to annoying Ram customer service. Reply from 4/14: "At this present time...

Even that doesn't mean much for some, I've been in D1 for 2 months as of yesterday.

Same here, except short bed Laramie. Details in sig and here: 1/21: Ordered, 1/22: VIN/VON, 2/18: D1 (Est. Ship Date 3/17), 3/09: Back to D, 3/16: Back to D1 (Est. Ship Date 4/06), 4/05: Still in D1 (Est. Ship Date now 4/29)

Just the fact that the rep still called it FCA probably shows that they're copy/pasting.. time to update their scripts ;)

Me watching all these Feb and March orders get built and delivered :(

Received update from dealer today, STILL in D1 and estimated ship date has now pushed back to 4/29

You got both Ram Boxes, and 5th wheel kit, from the factory? I've read it's possible to do if you're careful, but I thought those 2 were blocked from being on the same order/build.

Don't worry, some of us US folks are on the long road also.. 1/21 order still sitting in D1 here

Man I must really be jaded because for his sake I will assume he said it sarcastically/obviously as a joke, but I can't even tell. There are certainly dealers that would say that with a straight face like the buyer will believe it.

Wow, good for you! I notice no Safety Group on your build and you're already built with window sticker. I'm wondering if it's not just the Blind Spot, but other things like chips for Adaptive Cruise Control. It will be interesting to watch those with the "B" packages to see if just removing...

Not that it makes things any better for us folks waiting, but Ford has suspended their Super Duty production this week due to the same chip shortage: https://fordauthority.com/2021/03/2021-ford-super-duty-production-suspended-over-chip-shortage/

I'm back in D1 after moving from D1 --> D last week. However with my move to D1 for the 2nd time, my estimated ship date has slipped from 3/17 to 4/6
