Waiting is getting old

[g-rated]

Gents,

I am getting tired of watching every YouTube video. Actually, skipping anything that has Ben Hardy associated, who is this guy anyway. Geez oh Pete I ordered my truck on April 9th and all I get is Ramtracker saying it’s scheduled August 15th and then crickets. Where is customer service? Any idea of real production numbers and is there any information out there. I’m anxiously waiting to be an Ex Raptor owner and get to drive a real beast.

It’s looking like Ram, rather than post dates in the tracker, goes from scheduled to delivered all at once… I’ve seen this on a bunch of TRXs, but also with my wife’s new wrangler…

I’m May 3rd and experiencing your same agony.

Your dealer should be able to get you a slightly better build date. I’m supposedly scheduled to build on September 25.

Pretty much the same experience as most have had. It took me just over 8 months to get mine so I know your pain. The tracker on this forum has good information on how many TRX are built on a daily basis and if you registered your vin will let you know when your build sheet is done. It cannot give you projected build date but the dealer can, but not very reliable. It will get to you eventually and the wait is worth it.

I ordered back in March 15 and got my truck 2 weeks ago, stay patient.

I ordered my truck on December 16th and it is being delivered to my house by transport on Thursday. I will be sure to let you know of it is worth the wait once I get it. Hang in there man I know it sucks waiting.

Thanks for that info. I figured that this was likely the case. My dealer, Autonation Columbus, GA is responsive but has little information. They were stand up people by charging only MSRP. Very glad the railroaders made a deal with the union.

You and me both… I took Amtrak for a business trip when that was going down, and in addition to the potential delays for the truck, may have been stranded in DC

8 months wait here..... It is WELLLLL worth the wait. Would have been worth double the wait

Don’t tell Stellantis that

Don't think it's any better elsewhere, I waited 50 weeks for my '22 F350. if I get my TRX in 6-8 months that'll seem super fast.

This truck is absolutely incredible. Nothing even close (except I guess the raptor R, which really isn't obtainable & even then the interior is trash)

I ordered on my TRX on May 25th. I got a scheduled date on August 22nd. I did a customer service chat with Ram and they had someone email me the production date of 9/26/22. I called my dealer and they were able to verify the production date and also told me the scheduled ship date of 10/10/22. Your dealer should easily check the scheduled ship date. I don't understand how they decide to build which TRX and when. Some people get it in two months and some wait over six months.

Last Ben Hardy vid I watched, he was saying Preowned TRX prices are dropping...not in Texas.

Last night I went to the Ramtrucks.com tracker and to my surprise the Dominos pizza bar moved to in production. Really not sure what that means for timing or when a window sticker gets generated.
However, it felt like ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas poem. Wife rolled her eyes.

I don’t click on his videos anymore. I find him kind of annoying and wish I could have an option to see less of him on youtube. I’ve seen other posts about him in this group and his ability to say anything for likes.

Waited 8 months on my truck as well, just patience during this time it's crazy I know

totally agree. He makes ridiculous statements that have no basis in reality, and provides no perspective. Are the days of ordering multiple TRXs and flipping them all for a profit gone… perhaps… but if by prices softening it just means you can’t make 20k fine, so be it… but if book value is any indication, anyone that paid less than MSRP is retaining ALL of their value.

The most insightful statement he makes in that video is that RAM has eclipsed Fords best sales year for the Raptor.

Demand remains high. Ben Hardy remains annoying.
