New guy just placed an order

Kinda. Not really. It’s going to be built.

Some people wait months after a vin. We will keep our fingers crossed.

And I was just given a VIN... is that a plus? Someting moving along?

Not necessarily. It is normal to receive your VIN within one week of placing the order. Moving to the next phase (D1, I believe) would be more significant.

It’s been a while since I was part of a forum… used to post everything from my PC!

Anyway, just placed an order for a 2022 Power Wagon in Olive green. Truck is going to be sweat, didn’t ordered anything special.

The waiting game starts!

I’m on my 3rd Ram right now and this one will be my 4th. Cummins 5.9 owner right here, yup going back to gas.

I wanted to ask and see if anybody could show a picture of the “stock” seats. Everything that I’ve seen shows leather which as stated before, I didn’t add any packages.

Thanks in advance!

Vinyl seats are legit and durable.

Just ordered mine as well in the olive green too! I hope the wait isn't 4 -5 months.

Standard seat are a grey cloth with the tire tread pattern. LVL2 option gets you the leather/vinyl bench seats, LVL3 gets you the premium leather buckets with center console.

Hope you paid less than MSRP!

I ordered mine on 12-11-21. Est. qoute for build time was 20-25 weeks from Mark Dodge. I have seen some go very quick within the 2 month range but I'm still in D status. I have seen some take 6 months also. I think it is the luck of the draw.
 
Where is it you go to get this status? I’ve got my vin number. Order placed Jan 15, got my vin email Feb18. Scheduled del of April 17-30.

How did you obtain the estimated delivery date? Which dealer did you order from? I placed my order on 1/22/22, at Mark Dodge. I've received my VIN but nothing else.
 
I don't think think you will get much information until you reach D1 status. I ordered on 12/11/21 and still in D status from Mark Dodge. All I have is a VIN. If you get D1 or more of a status I would say your one of the lucky ones. On e they start building then your window sticker becomes available if I understand correctly.
 
Crazy how long it takes to get an order. I picked mine up from the lot exactly how I wanted it (minus bedliner) back in Oct 2021.
 
When I ordered mine they said orders had been taking 18-25 weeks but currently they have seen it as quick as 10 weeks. Then went on to say, lately, it's sporadic. It's really all over the place. At the end of the day I'm thrilled to quit spending time dealing with ads for trucks someone ordered and dealers are advertising.

Yeah, I've seen quite a few in my area (So Cal), but they are selling for $5K-$10K over sticker. I ordered my Level 3 (MSRP $74K) for $65.5K. Similar trucks in this area are selling for $80K+. Worth the wait, to me. I also never found a truck, on a lot, that was exactly what I wanted either, so win-win.
 
Those California taxes aren't helpful either when they tack on another 10% based on sales price just to roll off the lot.

Luckily I didn't have any mark ups. It depends on the dealer you go to. I purchased mine at Glenn E. Thomas Dodge in Long Beach. I used the builder on the RamTrucks.com when it became available and it showed the vehicle was on lot and not in transit. Went to get it the next day.
