Can someone explain why the actual delivery takes so long?

Do you mean delivery from the dealer to the customer ? or from the plant to the dealer?

Dealer to customer there could be a 1-3 day delay depending on their process. Check in of truck, check truck for damage and operability, remove protective film, contact customer, set up financing etc.

Plant to the dealer is mostly shipping logistics - The plant doesn't really want any vehicles hanging around their log, so it's in their best interest to get it out. Usually shipped by rail car. So trains have to be available. Then from nearest rail yard to final destination on trucks. Weather conditions play a major part in the logistic chain. The Trucks come from Michigan or Mexico. If coming from Mexico, there could be a few delays at customs as well.

4.25% is a really good rate for the current climate. On Reddit people were reporting rates as high as 7% for great credit on new cars.

Ive got 4.25 for 5 years but if you want to do 7 or 8 thats where I start seeing the 7%. I miss the zero % days

I was referring to plant to dealer. Im in the Cincinnati area and I believe, but am not 100% sure, that my truck is coming from Michigan. Thanks for the reply.

On the Ram Trucks wiki page, if you scroll down to production, 1500 series are built in Michigan
2500s and above are built at the Saltillo, Mexico plant (also 1500s for other countries).

Hope that helps. If I understand correctly Cincinnati has a railyard, so maybe yours will get there faster?

Nice you guys are getting 2023’s already. Maybe I should just cancel my deal and order a ‘23. Still haven’t received my ‘22 Longhorn I ordered back on August 5th.

My truck has been built since 12/14/22, over 3 weeks ago and still hasn’t shipped, wondering why the delay, my wife’s bighorn took 2 weeks to ship to western NY.

Got tired of waiting and found the exact same truck at another dealership 200 miles away. Got the truck under MRSP and my deposit back for the truck I ordered.
