Finally - truck has arrived. Now need to bring her home

[WolverineHusky]

Finally, after a build date of 2/17 my truck has arrived at the dealership in Wisconsin. Granite Crystal, TR2 package, hood graphic, sunroof, running boards.

Just bought a one way first class ticket from Seattle to Minneapolis to pick her up in Pulaski, WI (Delta) Getting a flight out there was a challenge. Wanted to fly to Milwaukee and make the two hour drive to pick her up, but flight options limited so have to go to Minn and make 4 hour drive in a rental car. Leaving tomorrow morning. (BTW finding a rental car was hard as @#$@$@).

After the pick-up will likely just drive a few hours headed west. Want to be back Sunday in Seattle. Not sure where I'm stopping along the way - at least one night in a hotel but may take my time. I'll post trip updates and pics along the way. Likely going through Montana, North Dakota and Idaho.

Dealer said they will address all bulletins and inspect the truck.

Congrats! That will be 2,000 miles of mostly beautiful scenery. It will be a good "break-in" drive.
Don't use launch control until you are around the corner from your home

[Nitro]

Awesome @WolverineHusky - Congrats! That should be a fun trip heading home. Safe travels!

Truck looks awesome. Congrats @WolverineHusky. Take some pics along the way to share the road trip!

 

[RamJax]

Congrats and enjoy the 80mph speed limit in MT! I very much miss the "reasonable and prudent" from the late '90's though...

Congrats Man, I hope you have a very uneventful ride back to Seattle. Love the color choice! Cheers

Woke up at 4 AM Seattle time, got to the airport for a 6 AM flight to Minneapolis and drove four hours to pick her up at 5 PM in Pulaski, Wisconsin. Very happy as I sit in the JW Marriott in Minneapolis (Which btw is full of feds and law enforcement and TOTAL lock down lol - my truck is VERY safe in the secure garage).

First, shout out to Ben at S & L Motors in Wisconsin. Guy was a great car salesman. Straight shooter, not cheesy, got to the point and closed the deal (MSRP) with me over email and the phone. I texted him every week for MONTHS and he never complained and always responded. Would send me screen shots of shipping updates. I even wired the entire balance of the truck to the dealer and he still was engaged and didn't just say, "well he paid so nothing more for me to do." Stand-up guy and I recommend him for those looking for Ram/Jeep in Wisconsin or anywhere.

Ok some pics (apologize iPhone crap pics)

Ready for my arrival!

Me in front of the BEAST.

I decided to hit Lambeau Field in Green Bay for a quick photo op

Safe in the hotel garage. TRX is so menacing that when I pulled up the hotel security asked me, "Are you FBI??" LMAO

I put 300 miles on her today and zero issues. I'll give a trip report and thoughts about the truck soon.
