DEAL $9000 off MSRP is back @ Granger Motors

[Saleen556]

A few weeks ago he posted an update on here. Said something to the effect of 25% per month.

Thanks. I must have missed that post.

We are locking in pricing at time of order. So if you ordered 2 weeks ago, you are fine. If you didn't get the order finalized before the price increase, then it will be at the new MSRP.

Zach - Is Granger able to do anything for the folks that had signed an order and put a deposit down on Friday (noon) but saw the jump because our orders didn't get finalized that day? Understand that you can't adjust MSRP but maybe a bed liner or power step discount? I have to admit the increase took a little shine off the new truck purchase. Still excited for my first new vehicle in over a decade and thankful for the work Amanda has put in. I am sure it was a couple rough days. I appreciate your consideration on this! Feel free to PM me if you prefer. Thanks!

Yes, Ram has had production issues which I detailed previously. We have a large number of pre-October builds that should have been selected and haven't. That has been for a combination of reasons. Commodity availability, slower production pace than anticipated, as well as unexpected plant down time.


Here's an updated list of vehicles that are in-transit to us or are being built currently. As you can see there are some orders from October/November that are being produced and shipped. For the majority of those, they are level 1, or no equipment group trucks that they have the capacity to build now.

[Zach@Granger]

Appreciate his willingness to put himself out there, but the 25% has no real meaning to those waiting unless he stops taking orders. Using a generic 25% while continuing to take 100s of orders, provides no real guidance.

I would respectfully disagree with this. While I certainly understand the frustration from people that have reservations with us. The new orders we take don't directly impact the existing orders we have. The only way that would make a difference is if Ram stopped taking orders nationwide. Our dealership's orders aren't in a vacuum when it comes to production, so every dealership across the country has orders that will potentially alter other dealerships production schedule.

Now that being said, I certainly understand the frustration if you ordered in May-August and see an October/November vehicle get produced. More frustrating for me is that I can't provide an educated answer as to how to alter or adjust your order to get it scheduled more quickly. I posted details on what is getting built or not getting built, but Ram seems to be playing everything close to the vest when it comes to information.

 

[Zach@Granger]

Actually seems like a lot of recent non Level 1 orders.

About 30% of our Non Level 1 builds are October or later orders that are in D1 or in-transit.

I see my truck is KZP status. What does that all entail?

HOT! - 2023 RAM TRACKER

It was becoming overwhelming trying to keep up with the large number of VINs being posted all over both the RAM-TRX and 5thGEN Forums and the confusion of the 2021-2022 tracker/submission forms linked everywhere as well. Here is a link to a new sheet for the 2023 year model with all current...

By the time many of you receive your trucks unfortunately, there will be more price increases that you’ll be stuck with

The man just said he'll "price protect". Why are you trying to stir up shit? Some dealers might not but post that in the appropriate threads. https://www.ram-trx.com/threads/9000-off-msrp-december-special-granger-motors.5124/post-138613

You drive a hard bargain. I'll settle for a tank of gas.

(I’m citing numbers from memory here. Take the idea and look at the graph and get the picture)

Eighty and I looked at the production graph the other day. From 100000 to 245xxx? (Or is it higher?)

We noticed that ram has been building vins in 15k groups…
So take each 15k and line them up like keys on a piano. 100-115, 120-135, 140-160 etc etc.

Then inside of that there are thirds.

Inside each group, the vin group is +\- 30% of the others. And that group is about 2/3 produced.
And then the next grouping will only be 1/3 produced.

So you see this wave through the whole line of orders up to about 190xxx

Then the last group around 190xxx it’s around 30-50% and past that it’s down to 30%

So it looks like ram has been taking these groups and sub secting them in thirds.
So after the Christmas break either the groups that are at 2/3’s will have their final 3rds built or they will stagnate and the pre 190xxx groups that are at 1/3 will have the 2/3 built while adding some 190+ to bring them up to 1/3.

And then after that, the reverse of the above will be built.

Then you have to take into account shipping groupings, dealers/regional reps putting priorities on certain peoples vins… and then… if there are shortages like paint… or parts should they occur.

I’ve wondered about shipping groupings. I wonder if all those trucks granger has in KZT will affect the KZP trucks from advancing to the next stage of shipping. Those are pretty large groups of both that he is showing.

I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around the logistics of shipping and stuff. That adds variables onto the variables. Available trains, cars, schedules, trailer pick ups etc etc. ugh. Not thank you.
I’m having a mini stroke just trying to glean something from nothing on the production data as I drink my morning coffee cold

 

[91stangy]

That’s a whole lot of trucks built and shipped or awaiting some Minsk steps to be shipped. Not a whole lot in d1. Granger looks they’re killin it in 2021…

@Zach@Granger how often does ram select additional trucks for d1? Is it daily, weekly, monthly or as one is completed another is selected?

 

[cowgomoo]

About 30% of our Non Level 1 builds are October or later orders that are in D1 or in-transit.

I feel like early august is cursed

It's hit and miss, but I check daily.
