2023 HD Crowdsourced Order Tracking & Waiting Room

I’ve been stalking…I retire in a couple of months (2nd retirement) and trying to get my house listed. Moving in to our 5th wheel next weekend and have a friend moving it out of storage because I have no %#{€?^£¥~\^*+!<|<>£!> truck!
Your story has me afraid to sell my current truck until I know for sure the new one is in hand! Sorry for your luck but Congrats on your 2nd Retirement. I had my 2nd retirement last year and loving every minute of every day since.
 
I have to contact them again on next Monday. If no movement he is going to push it up to corporate. He said they are evaluating the damage to determine if it is minor and can be repaired or it will be a total loss and they will have to build it again…UGH!
So sorry my friend. There were major railcar delays and then this happened. We're trying to monitor but there are no automated updates/alerts - so we have to take it case by case when y'all call in or email me and see what the status is. Always happy to check, not always thrilled with the results. As I've said about 10x in the past 10 days, we love the trucks, we love the customers, we love working at MD - it's the gaps between that drive us nuts and you too I know!

It is not y’all, I know that for sure! I try not to call and pester you, and haven’t since my truck was stuck in Port Allen last year. Aaron has always bent over backwards to help, and as always, this year has been not different. He immediately remembered me from last years “totaled” fiasco, and helped me with every question I had. I have nothing to say but huge accolades for Mark Dodge, and will tell anyone who will listen what a great experience it has been - from Renae doing all of the leg work to get my second truck ordered, to Aaron helping whenever he could, to Reggie in finance…it has always been the best buying experience I have EVER had! It’s a hard time with my retirement and moving in to my 5th wheel, but so are so many other problems on this forum. Thanks again for everything y’all do !!!
 
Weeeelllllll….super great news today (NOT!) Through the suggestion of a very good friend of mine, I contacted MD to inquire about my truck sitting for so long since my built date (2/8, 76 days ago). It turns out that there is a special hold on my vehicle, coded HD. The HD confirms the rumor of hail, as according to the General Sales Manager, stands for Hail Damage. What in the wild world of sports!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I can’t win for losing…%$#&!
That is a horrible situation. Hopefully it is repairable. Not sure I would take delivery if there was hail damage. Maybe they have decided to build another for replacement.

Dealers have it tough in the communication arena. Got the order and sale is mostly guaranteed so no need to communicate (my take).
 
Hello Mr @brv10 i had you check status on my truck a lil while back and at time I believe it was searching for correct rail car to be loaded on and I’ve been kzm for lil while now and my Est del was may 10 which changed to tbd a while back as well my question is there any way you can see where it may be now ? Going on trip where there is no signal for few days just wondering how close I may or may not be but if you can the VON is 58235606 and last 8 are PG575765 Ty :)
 
The hail storm was not a rumor. From the info I got, it looks like many of us got the informal hold for hail damage and frozen to TBD while being sorted out. Looks like I may have dodged the hail bullets as the hold was removed on the 17th. There has been a rail car shortage as well.

Does anyone know when the storm was? I am trying to figure out if maybe my truck was affected.

I think we all would like to receive a message like that from our dealer or anyone.

Congrats. I’m waiting to ship with arrival on Thursday 27 Apr. don’t think it will happen.
Hopefully no hail damage for me.

Once again. Congrats on the message.

I had to send ram a where’s my truck email to get that response. When I asked my dealer for a status update, they sent me the link to the ram tracker.

Since both our trucks are supposed to arrive on 4/27, maybe they’ll ship them out on the same plane. :D

I have been following on tracker. Dealer provides limited info. I know I’m built not yet shipped.
Hopefully we get our trucks soon.
 
Sorry to hear about the hail. Got an update today from my dealer, I’m in KZLD. Think the train delays in Mexico affected the ones produced around when mine was, April 7th. Have a delivery date of May 28, we’ll see.

My dealer told me though it’s at Belvedere assembly plant, so maybe it made some of the journey from Saltillo.

Does it really take 33 days to ship and deliver? My original delivery date was Apr 15. I'm TBD and my dealer estimates mid-May delivery. That seems hard to believe

It shouldn't. Mine moved quickly, but then was delayed from transit for whatever reason. Should only take 2 weeks or so from KZ completed and released, to get to you in ideal conditions based on other orders. Mine went from order to complete in less than a month.

Unfortunately my truck did not dodge the hail. Received a call from the dealership explaining my truck is on hold due to hail damage found last night. Not great news, but I am happy that MD reached out quickly and let me know about the problem. Sounds like the damage to my truck is repairable vs. total loss, back in line at the assembly plant.

Hopefully the damage to our trucks is "minor" and can be remediated quickly.
