DEAL $9000 off MSRP is back @ Granger Motors

[NFARVW]

Hit the sauce early today?? Ordered end of July and just got built so hopefully you’ll be built just after the new year!

Was on duty yesterday at the FD. Had a 34M code. A husband and father died in front of his two 5 year old kids and wife. 4 days before Christmas. Yeah, drinking some Mac12 right now.

@Zach@Granger thanks for all the involvement and info on here. It truly is appreciated. My TRX came into Granger a week or so ago and I am due to pick up next week, you may have answered this previously so apologies for not being able to find it, but is your team doing the pre-possession checklist, or TRX Issues List that is posted on the forum, before turning over possession to us when we come to pick the trucks up? Thanks for the info.

We go through the Chrysler Pre delivery inspection process. They compensate our technician to spend approximately 45 minutes to run through the inspection process.

End of August. I'm BEYOND annoyed with RAM. What a shithole company.

We certainly would love to have earned your business but if you think we'd do any better with timing on your order, we can't.

Ram's supply chain is way above our head and while I'd love to think I have pull...I don't. I've tried. Haha

Any chance I can get an estimate date week so I can get the missus work schedule sorted for a month after that?

Also, for those of us driving 1800 miles after pick up, can we pay a book hour for the guy doing the PDI to do the extended check?

Also trying to figure out when to have Jay order the stuff. (Mud flaps and some other doodads… I’m still going back and forth on a ram bar)

@Fifty thank you for asking this. This has been in the back of my mind. My drive back is 1700+ estimated 3ish days. I would hate for something to happen on my drive back

I’d be down for that as well

We probably need to bring him a few handles of whiskey too as keeping up with the forum is a full time job!

Fuck the pandemic. I’m tired of companies using that as their can’d excuse for their inadequacies in leadership and customer service. There are companies out there thriving in the pandemic.

The pandemic didn’t take away “communication.” Email, phone & text still works throughout. Get back to a brother… especially if they’re spending this kind of money.

I do calibration work for tier one suppliers and it’s a shit show. None of them can find employees, and when they have employees they can’t get raw materials or trucks to ship parts. Then there is the equipment failure issues. One customer had in injection molding machine go down. A replacement board took 28 weeks to deliver. So for 28 weeks they they were struggling with the big 3s “Just On Time” delivery demands. No company keeps a stockpile anymore so any link in that chain from the company supplying oil to the thermoplastic producer on up to the finished product has a butterfly effect. Not to mention shipping and the crazy convoluted production sequence. For example a company here 45 miles SW of Chicago makes interior door handles for Ford, Stellantis, Toyota, Tesla etc... the Tesla interior mechanical handle is molded here, shipped to New York to be painted, shipped back here to be assembled then shipped to Mexico to
Be installed in a door panel. The Door panel is then shipped to California to be installed on the car. Throw in a traffic accident, tornado, train derailment, hold up at the border etc... and how in the hell does anything make it to the assembly plant “Just On Time”?

Email [email protected] and they should be able to verify that for you.

I think the labor shortage certainly isn't helping anything. I know getting people to show up at the plant is part of the problem.

I think way too much about this stuff but didn’t Zach say that if we have VIN and in at least D that he can ask Rep and find out build “date” time frame? Maybe I dreamt that.

 

[MCooper]

any chance still available?

 

[Zach@Granger]

We have quite a few orders from before our October special start date that are still waiting in D status. I believe somewhere around 60 in total.

Yes, you can get an estimate on probably 80% of our orders. There were a few that weren't all that updated. I don't know that I have much faith in it at this point. It seems that the estimate is not all that accurate if you have a level 2 equipment group.

Again, I would encourage anyone who has speed of delivery at the top of their priority list to order a Non-Level 2 truck. Every single one of those trucks has been produced or is gatelined for production outside of 3 that were placed within the last week. 16% of our level 2 orders have gone into D1 or been produced. That is the million dollar question and the one I don't have an answer to is why some level 2s get production more quickly than others.
