For those considering a factory order I thought I'd give a running account of my order placed yesterday. I will update this post as I reach milestones.
Ordered a Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 with just a few options checked -- 5.7 eTorque, Limited Level 1 and Technology Packages. I couldn't find a single truck configured this way anywhere in the country in Billet Silver, so put in the order.
Dealer can't promise a delivery date -- just the usual "typical delivery is 8-12 weeks" -- but they told me a couple trucks came in this week that were ordered 10 weeks ago. Fingers crossed it's only 10 weeks with the chip shortages, Covid, etc.
I did the entire search and purchase via email. I was given a build sheet to sign, a deposit receipt, and a purchase contract that listed MSRP, discount, doc fee, tax, registration, and a deliver-by date. No additional mandatory dealer fees (though I'm sure when I go to pick it up I'll get the usual pressure to buy a collection of unnecessary options and extended warranties).
