2022 Ram 1500 Production

[Hoosier Ram Guy]

Recently, I ordered a 2022 Ram 1500 from my local dealer. They told me that a VIN number has been assigned, but couldn't give me a delivery date. They did say that production has to finish for the 2021's before production on the 2022's can start. Does anyone have any info on when production on the 2022's will start? Thanks in advance.

I heard production won't start until November.

Sometime in the Fall as I recall seeing on the Ram Brand sponsored FB site I follow. A lot of people had your exact question directed at them. I think the 2022's will be solid, even more solid than the 2021's. I'm glad you're a patient guy because I wouldn't get very much sleep until the truck was in my hands lol.

It's all speculation until all the 2021 models have been built. I've heard everything from late August to November, but all of that is rumors. The truth is no one knows at this point. I doubt even Stellantis knows for sure, although they probably have a good idea.

I was told on April 28th by my dealership that I could no longer order a 2021, and orders for 2022 models would open in early May. I considered ordering a 2022 but was fortunate to find a 2021 Limited, with everything I wanted, on a CDJR lot a couple hundred miles away that my local dealership made a trade for. I'm very glad I did that instead of ordering because I've been enjoying my new truck since May 1st. If I had ordered a 2022 I'd still be waiting for it to even start to be built. My sympathies are with anyone who ordered a 2022, especially those who ordered months ago.

Most recent thoughts are early September for the beginning of 2022 builds.

I haven't checked in a while but last I heard the '22s where supposed to start production after the shortened July shut down. Sounds like the plant is stock piling up trucks around the plant possible due to part/chip shortages but no confirmation on what model year they are.

On a similar topic, I did hear from one source that the '22 HD production doesn't kick in until mid-October.

Ram 1500 (DT) production on 2022 YR, starts TODAY 8/25/21, per this site.

Autoblog had a article yesterday stating that the limited editions would loose the protection package option and the option group featuring the lane keep assist and advance cruise control for the 2022 model year. Also the club cab is now only available in the tradesman and bighorn configuration. Many other changes also with some features only availible in packages now. This is for the 2022 models.

There is a temporary production shut down at SHAP from the 8/30 to 9/7

Just got notification of my 22 rebel, ESD in 2 weeks. Doubt it but it is an update?

I ordered my 2022 Rebel in June still haven’t got a date when I can pick it up….. all they say is chip shortage smh

I have the exact same scenario. I have been checking the following site that recently changed the 1500 production start up from 08/25/2022 to 09/11/2022 which hopefully means production has now started and a build date coming in the very near future. https://www.donlen.com/manufacturer...-trucks-build-out-final-order-start-up-dates/

Dustin I have been watching the same site and agree with what you said. My son does work for Stelantis and I have him checking periodically. The Sterling Heights plat is running after a week shut down so that is good news. My order went in 7/1 so hopefully I am near the top.

When did you order your 2022? I also ordered a 22 Rebel GT end of July, had a VIN the next week and still shows D status.

They've been taking orders on '22 models since the first week of May. Which means there are almost 2 months of orders ahead of yours. I'd estimate you are closer to the middle. A member on another 5th gen Ram forum has been tracking this. I can give you an idea of where you stand if you provide the last six digits of your VIN.

 

[McNoFinger]

New here and just figured I’d make a similar post. Ordered a 2022 1500 Limited in mid July. I have been assigned a VIN but that’s as far as I am. I’m usually pretty patient and I’m in no rush but we’ll see how long that lasts.

 

[tomcuyfalls3]

MWYZ can you share the last 6 of your VIN for your order on 07/01? My order went in on 07/16/21 and Vin was assigned on 07/23/21 Here is my VIN: 1C6RREJG5NN142626 Curious what yours is if this indicates the incremental order. If the last six is the order number does this mean there is 142k trucks ahead of my order ? YIKES

How about you McNoFinger ? we ordered about the same time, whats your Vin?

I'm not able to reply to your IM for some reason, so I'll respond here. Given your VIN, there are almost 20.5k orders ahead of yours. There have been more than 72k orders placed for 2022 models. Since they just started 2022 production, and at a rate of about 6k trucks per week, it's likely you still have a few weeks before they start building your truck. You do the math. Sorry I can't be more specific.

What Crash68 wrote about they SHAP plant shutting down until September 7th would explain what i saw on the Fleet Ordering sites
Both of them said that they were going to start 2022 production on September 8th

Sounds like SHAP is running 7-10s for two shifts building trucks. Trucks will be built without whatever part(s) are effected by the chip shortage and then held until the parts are available.
