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...
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)
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.
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:

Read through this thread for recommended dealers. You might have to travel a little ways, but if you enjoy saving thousands of $ then it's worth it. 12.5% below MSRP is still very much attainable.
Even with the D1 --> D change, the estimated ship date did not move from 3/17, so maybe (hopefully!) that's the case here. I will keep checking for build sheet. Thanks for the info.
My 1/22 order has regressed from D1 back to D. I do have a lot of the tech/safety options in my build, so while they said orders that were already in the system will still get those features (lane-keep, blind spot, etc.) maybe that just means we have to wait a long time until some small...
2500 Laramie Hemi CC ordered 1/22, still in D1. Estimated ship date still showing as 3/17.
My dealer sends me updated POC sheet every week. I did notice today that the base MSRP went up $200 since last week, from $52,785 to $52,985. That's kind of annoying but part of the game I guess.
Count me in. Ordered confirmed 1/22 w/ VON and VIN assigned. Dealer insists it will only be 6-8 weeks despite me telling him what I've been reading here. I should have made him knock off another $1000 if (when) it goes beyond 8 weeks :D
