The truck is in KZM status. It loaded on the train 4/7/21 at 1:27pm. Its expected at the local rail yard on 4/23/21, he said it could take up to 2 weeks to be processed and delivered to the Dealership in Centennial Colorado. It's getting closer!!!

Could be the longest two weeks of your life involving a vehicle

I have been doing some research

You Ram should be unloaded at Littleton, Colo., near Denver

The Big Lift facility — named after a former Santa Fe Railway intermodal terminal in Denver — features 2,200 parking spaces and 12,000 feet of track, and can accommodate the unloading of 65 rail cars from an automotive unit train each day.

Nice that your sales person is bothering to keep you informed!
Many will just say, I don’t know

He calls me every week with an update!! I also ask him for updates. I check with Ram Chat and he verifies what they say!! I have not met him yet.

I realize that when you order you get exactly what you want. I just don't have the patience and now it takes even longer with the chip shortages. Late last year I "had" to have one of the GMC Sierra 1500 with the 3.0L Duramax and traded my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie in on it. Well, that was a big mistake because I got tired really quick of the subpar interior (loaded SLT Premium Plus, mind you) and the clunky looking exterior.

Friday evening I looked at our local Ram dealer where I have been a customer for about 30 years. They usually have at least 20 1500s in stock....they had two Ram 1500 Limited on the lot. I went yesterday and bought one of them at a great price and 0.0 APR. I did get 2000 less for the GMC then what I paid for it in December, so, not to bad.

Tomorrow I pick up my new Ram which has all the options I wanted: 5.7L eTorque, 33 GL tank, 3.92 axles, limited slip differential, pano roof. One option I would never order are the 22" wheels/tires. So, overall I mostly got what I wanted and instant gratification.

I just called Ram Customer Service and was told that the train is in Rolla, CO. I google it and it shows just outside of Commerce City. I look at a map but could not see a vehicle facility at all. They stated that the ETA is 4/19/21 - 5/3/21 to be delivered to the dealer.
