Went down to order a New 2022 Ram 2500 and there are changes from the website.
Hydro blue is unavailable And the Tech package has been changed. It's now a level C eqip group. No more towing cameras 360⁰. Can still option the 12" screen however.
Not sure if this is permanent but not available as of now. Really wanted Hydro Blue in a sport. Disappointed

I suppose you are picky and want a chip in the ECM and PCM too, eh?

Seriously sorry to hear. It's a tough time for everybody - sellers, buyers, manufacturers.

Lol..I get it. This will be my 7th Ram and paid my dues and these trucks are crazy money so asking for the color of my choice isn't to much to ask for.Or is it? We got any color if it's, black or white..

Yeah, you know yer gettin' old when you take a white contractor grade off the lot instead of waiting for a color you like (see my avatar). This is my 1st vehicle I didn't insist on a favorite color. Beware the ravages of time!

Hydro Blue is still available, as is 360* cameras. Hell, the 12” screen is available on Tradesman even.

Per dealer order or website? Had the owner of the dealer confirm with email from FCA. I had the website print out with what I would like and things are waay different on there order site. Just a fyi

I know that 1 of the things that Mopar always does
They need a minimum of 10 orders at any of the 3 assembly plants for Special order colors
I would not think that they would have less than that at the Saltillo Mexico Plant or even Warren or Sterling Heights plants.

Hydro Blue should not be a Special Order Color
I wouldn't think that it would be a Limited color either, like the Limited color on the Special Power Wagon, i think that was a Blue Gray

There is a slim possibility that by January they will some how get a truck load of Microchips, but a Ram like a Laramie or Limited would use at least 1,000 Microchips per vehicle.
With all the high dollar items that need microchips, i would not count on it

Neither (I’m not ordering a truck now). I know 100% they are all available

Very Nice color combo, the first batch of 22's just hit the lots and are moving quickly. There is some compromise with ordering right however Like the fact Ram is still making these truck considering GM is not taking any orders for HD trucks right now.

Hydro blue was removed from build site. Guess the dealer was right, missed it by less than a month

holy crap that's a sexy truck sandawilliams.

I've been looking for a 2500 gasser for a month now. I had these stipulations. White, Laramie A, 4x4, 6.4, clearance lights.
that pretty much summed up remote start, heated/vented leather bucket seats, garage door opener.
12" screen not needed, but if it had it...eh.

couldn't find one in Texas, I even allowed billet silver if it had the night edition grill and emblems. still nope. So I ordered one myself today. gonna be a while waiting. I just hope the industry holds out til then. Every friend I have in the auto industry thinks we are in for three more years of this nonsense. But then again, when I worked in the oil field during a downturn we lost a travel incentive or lost pay for training and we thought the world was ending and that wages would never return. we survive

Hydro Blue looks like it's only available on the PW, two tone. I'm glad I got it last year.

So my dealer submitted an order for me. A white 2500 Laramie, hemi, 4x4, night edition. B group interior. Sales person said when CHRYSLER “picks it up” he would let me know. So I guess that’s when they acknowledge that I ordered a truck and they WILL build it? How long are guys having to wait to until your order gets “picked” by Chrysler?

Also, a different dealer told me that they can’t order any truck with 12” screen right now due to chip shortage. But mine would have the 8.4” screen. So am I in a better position with that option?

Any insider news greatly appreciated.

Placed an order for a Laramie 2500 on the Oct 18th and waiting on update. Even the sport pkg was on restriction.
