Merry Christmas everyone! I was told at the time I ordered, you might get it by Christmas. It was 10 day earlier than that. My first ETA date from the manufacturer was in February 2026,
then it went to Christmas Day, then it went to January 5, 2026. Then it arrived on 12.15.2025!
May you all be safe and be and stay healthy in your new trucks!!

I swear this thing changes colors - totally dependent on the light. Wasn't sure at first but its quickly growing on me!

Nice to see here that the 26 orders are moving along just fine it seems for the people posting here. Will have over 5000 miles this week on our 26 since we picked up Sept. 22nd. So far just one small hiccup and that was with the Navigation system and Compass not working. Other than that, seems to be operating good.

Well tracking not the best ! Dealer said 12/5 then 12/21 now 01/02 says has been built just waiting shipping tracking still says in build and exp delivery 01/13. As much as they charge for shipping think they could do better. Price we pay to have what we want in our trucks.

Unfortunately, Ford and GM decided to take out their largest supplier of shipping vehicles last year over a nominal price dispute - so now it has the industry in chaos.

Finally saw Forged Blue in person. A guy I work with just bought a 2025 2500 Laramie 6.7 Gorgeous blue in direct sunlight, looks odd in cloudy weather.

I thought seeing it in person would clarify things but now I’m even more confused as to which color to get.

I really like Granite Crystal Grey but hate that I see it everywhere.

I like the Ceramic Grey but it seems a bit blah blah. It would look waaay better if it was darker.

Forged Blue is gorgeous in direct sunlight but looks weird in cloudy weather.

It would be better if it was a shade or two darker.

I was a granite crystal truck owner for years (2 trucks) and just now ordered the forged blue as a result of Ram not offering GC as an option (or at least not an option on the configurator). After spending time with the blue in person and in videos it has grown on me. Hope I feel the same when it shows up and years later. Uffa....LOL

Did the dealer show you their build sheet? Mine was ordered in November and i got it almost two weeks ago. On their build sheet it says "build priority 99". No idea what that number coordinates to, could mean normal for all I know.

"build priority 99"

From the research I did a while ago the build priority is where the order sits within the dealers order stack (not mfg order list). 99 is bottom of list (mostly for stock orders) where 1 is on top of their orders (highest priority for sold orders). If anyone working at a dealer can confirm or correct please let us know.

I got better pics of mine, so y'all can see. Direct sun vs. indirect sun. My only issue is, I wish it was more of a matte finish. Its a bit too glossy for my taste, however, I do love the truck. One issue popped us thus far, the electronic stability sensor went off last weekend, literally when I was rolling out of a parking lot to a stop sign. Once I restarted the truck, it was gone and has yet to return... It goes in Tuesday so they can take a look at it. Gotta love these computers.... insert eyeroll! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

I feel ya. It’s not the glossiness, it’s just a couple of shades too light.

This level of gloss will always be there because of the clear coat.

After all said and done, this might be the color I get. Lol

Looks better with more aggressive tires without white letters.

And of course; everything looks better with a mega cab.

Totally agree on the all black tires, I begged, but ya get what ya get. I will be putting all black tires on as soon as I am able.
Yes, that is nice looking truck!! I only haul 2x a year up to CT from SC and back to see my grandbabies, if I hauled more often I would have gotten the cummins. I work from home so I was afraid the lack of use 90% of the time would lend to issues. I was smart enough to get the 5th wheel/gooseneck package just in case I wanted to upgrade the camper
I have to say I had the 1500 ecodiesel crew cab before the 2500 hemi and I am kind of surprised how much less room there is in the crew cab of the 2500. So for people who need the additional room the megacab totally makes sense.

What part of SC? I’m from NMB. Currently back and forth between NMB and Florence visiting family. But live in GA stationed at Benning.
