How Long is it Taking Now For a '23 Custom Built HD to Be Delivered?

Anyone privy to this information? Thanks!

Delivery is dealer specific. Call your dealer and ask them as it varies greatly based on dealer volume, exact model, and accessories ordered. Higher end trucks like Laramie and Limited have been taking longer than a Tradesman for instance.

The last time that i went looking for an answer, the only thing that i read & remembered, was that

Microprocessors are still hard to come by, banks are having problems getting bank cards, like ATM & CC

Ram Headquarters has made the statement, that when the get a batch of Chips in, most of the chips will go into the 5th Generation, new body style Rams & if there is enough, the rest will go to the Ram Classic body style.
There was no mention about the Heavy Duty Rams

There also no statement about the rest of the vehicles made by Stellantis, ( Chrysler )

Mine took 26 weeks give or take a week.

Yikes! E-GADS! Half a year? I'd want a year end clearance discount.

My 22' Limited took 7 months.

Oh, by gosh, by golly. One would wonder if it is worth the wait. I may have to re-think this.

We placed the order for ours in late October and received the truck in early February

Wait times are getting shorter
It is far from the pre-covid time of 3 months, from ordering date to delivery from Michigan to California.

I don't think that any Ram coming out of Michigan & going to most places in the USA, will take 6 months, from this point on

It will speed up the process, when more computer chips become available
The brand new Chip factories that are being built here in the USA right now, won't make any chips before 2024 & the first chip factory to start production will be in Arizona, near Phoenix

The TSMC factory, or fab, is massive and will feature state-of-the-art technology when it begins commercial operation in 2024. It sits on more than 1,000 acres in north Phoenix just west of Interstate 17 along West Dove Valley Road — the huge cranes and new buildings are visible from the freeway.

Half a year was considered good for an HD last year. Mine took almost exactly 6 months, and I felt like one of the lucky ones. Many waited much longer than that. It seems that is coming down, but I'd expect a few months at least. GM and Ford are no faster, from what I've read.

Determining if the wait is worth it is an individual call. When you need it, interest rates, the amount of patience you have, etc all play a role. But if you are willing to wait, you can save a lot of money by ordering from dealers like Mark Dodge in Lake Charles, Louisiana or Granger in Des Moines, IA. They give about 11.5% off MSRP on ordered trucks.
