^^^I agree with Dave^^^ Under promise yourself and hopefully they over deliver. ;)

Mine was 5 weeks and a few days from "shipped" to under my butt.

I am still in production scheduled status. No one seems to know anything. I keep reading that Ram is starting 2014's on Monday. I ordered on May 4th and have been in production scheduled since June 6th. I am not the only one in this position.

I ordered mine April 8th and it didnt start to build until the end of June. I dont know the deal with the 14s, but I would assume yours will be built in the next week or 2.

They rail these trucks? No wonder it takes so long after final inspection. Mine is in final inspection as of today...yzedupyn.jpg

That's a shame Chris. I know you have pent up hostility towards it because of how you were treated, but this is one hell of a piece of machinery. I look forward to driving mine every day!

Mine finally went to paint from production scheduled. It has to be one of the last of the 2013's to come off of the line.

So you will probably get it around 3 months from order date like mine. Good luck with it.

Hey all,
I ordered a:
’13 Longhorn
5.7 – 8spd trans
3.92 rear end
4x4
Monotone Black EXT
Canyon Brown / Light Frost Beige INT.
Sunroof

Oder date: April ‘13
VIN received: May ‘13
Production date: June ‘13
Final Inspection: 8/1
Delivery date: (see below)
1st delivery date: 7/2 (delayed)
2nd delivery date: 7/31 (delayed)
3rd delivery date: 8/17 (I am not holding my breath as today is the 15th)
4th delivery date: TBD

I am not holding my breath for the 17th because apparently the truck is completely ready and has been waiting for transport from MI to VA since first week of AUG.

Ok, this is great....the 4th delivery date of the 26th is now past and (get this), I got word that my truck is at the dealer....but during the dealer inspection, they found front bumper damage that happened during transit. They did not go into specifics but they said that they are going to get it into their body shop to determine what needs to be done.....

Kind of bummed that I dident get to put the first scratch on her.....

I guess after 5 months of waiting, whats another few days....

Sorry to hear that. My truck had the tiniest little ding on the front driver's side fender that I saw immediately when the truck was delivered, but I was so excited to take her home that I didn't say anything as to avoid any further delay haha.

Holy crap this sounds awful... I was doing a search on the VOTS to see if I can get any better info. I ordered on Oct 6, dealer entered on Oct 9th. I told him I needed it before the end of the year and he said 8-10 weeks... I'm not feeling so confident about that after reading this thread! I have my VIN and VON, but that doesn't seem to mean much.
