I ordered my 2013 3500 on march 12 of 2013, it's still in production scheduled status? I was wondering if any of you have purchased one off of a dealer stock? I still haven't seen any in the KC area. They finally have some 2500, but no 3500?
The wait is killing me, I'm ready to lift it and get wheels and tires installed

I personally haven't seen one in my area either. They had some 2500's on the lot when I was buying my truck. But it sounds like its gonna be amazing when you get it. I love my ram boxes haha they're good for so many different uses. Please do post some pics up when you take delivery.

I think they're delayed due to a quality control issue with the frame. I read on another forum a guy had his along with 9 others crushed due to frame problems

Don't the 2500 and 3500 both use identical frames? I did a rear wheel delete, so not a dually? I would think that the frames would be the same? Crushed????

No 3500s have been released yet. One guy on another form ordered his the first day you could, and they have kept delaying his. On 4/27 he still hadn't had it yet. It's several weeks past the original delivery date now.

I believe there's a few 2013 3500 on the lots right now as my buddy said he was looking at some along with some 2013 2500(just assuming the 3500 were also 2013)

Where are you located? Better yet , what dealer, in which state are you referring to? I would love to look up one on the net.

3500's got a new stronger frame for '13 that the 2500 didnt get

The 2500 Cummins can tow 4k pounds more (17,050 pounds) than the 2012 . It can also tow 3k more than the '13 F-250 Powerstroke. I'm sure they updated the frame, though there's a high probability that it's different from the 3500 since its largest version can pull 30k pounds and a payload of over 4,100 pounds.

I been over at the cummins forum last several days. If you have or want a 2500-3500 they are all very helpful over there. BTW. my 3500 just moved to Trim this morning b

Yea I don't blame them, realistically I don't think I have the patience to wait that long either even though it would 100% be worth the wait once you take delivery. It's a shame that people went to chevy because the Ram 3500's look like they're gonna be insane. I can't wait to see pics go up here once you and others take delivery.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD! LOL

Frustrating isn't it? I ordered mine on 02/08 and it was delayed until 03/13 so now looking at June(ish) before I see it. :baby:
