Yea - I just jumped shipped. Been RAM fan since 2004 (had 04, 13, 14, and 19 Ram). Just can't wait not knowing if I'll have a truck when RV gets here and we have trips scheduled. Promised 8 weeks and this Friday will be 9 weeks and still D1 status. Nope....not waiting.

Left deposit on an in stock 21 F450 Limited with all the options I would have ordered. Took over 2 weeks to find the right one that wasn't sold or deposit taken. These things are hard to nail down. Was told 10+ weeks for order from Ford so they are having same issues. So - Good luck guys!!!!! Sincerely wish you guys the best.

Yaaaah im think to doo that but I really like the new rebel and The interior is really nice and also it’s diesel so that’s why I’m stuck to wait this is my week 11

Sorry to hear that but, I feel your pain.
Life goes on and Ram didn't do anything to keep you informed as when you might get it. I can't figure out what makes them think that people are going to wait indefinitely when there are other options out there.
I know this is a Ram HD forum but it sure would be nice to see what Ram pushed you to buy.
So send us a pic like nodicnevs did.
Take care!

Yes, good luck with your new adventures and I totally understand your decision! I'm lucky enough to have another truck to use while I wait for mine. Like b307a1 said, post pictures!
 
Any movement on orders placed around Jan 18? Seen they moved estimated build times to 14-16 weeks. As of last week my dealer was showing a ship date of March 10 which is today, build sheet nor window sticker has popped up yet. Thanks.

I see where RAM delivery is much much better than the Ford deliveries of 22/23 weeks. Funny how several mentioned the Ford tracking system is much better for an ordered vehicle, well I guess they can watch it do nothing for a long time using that site!

At least watching it, they will know more information than it is sitting at the body vendor for 28 days, no explanation, just it is. Ridiculous customer service is what Ram has. Can anyone else tell i am getting fed up? It would just be nice to have an explanation for what I am waiting for.
 
Just FYI. I've looked up probably more than 40 F450's in my search where it shows all the info (order date, build date, ship date, delivery date, etc) and they are averaging 6 to 8 weeks not 22 or 23 weeks. Not saying that isn't happening but its not the norm. I think both brands are suffering from COVID related and/or part supply issues. Ford just does a better job keeping the customer informed of the status, and allows the customer to see dates without chatting with a useless marketing toolbox call RamChat which offers nothing but canned responses. Does it make it better? Guess that is opinion.

I ordered my truck on Jan. 28th. I am just going to wait for my dealer to call me to say the truck is in.
I don't think I could go through all this, it would drive me crazy watching everyday to figure out what stage the build is at.

Have any pics of the F450 you are about to be driving? Feel free to PM. I love vehicles of all makes, I just can't get down with the current Ford interiors compared to the Ram. Certainly understand your decision given your circumstances. Best of luck!

Ordered Jan 18. Build sheet popped up today and ram chat says it’s headed to body vendor. Just to give others a clue on time frames. Mega cab 2500 Laramie Cummins night edition.
