Hello everyone! I'm happy to report that I just placed my order for a 2013 Ram 2500 4x4 mega cab Laramie yesterday. Have been planning on doing this since June of last year, but was waiting on the 2013's for the urea system and all the cool new gadgets.

Anyone have any idea how long it might take for that truck to be built? Based on what the dealer was telling me yesterday, the 1500's are taking upwards of 4 months due to shortages of the 8 speed tranny, and the high number of orders for those trucks. But being that the HD's are built in Mexico, I'm guessing it won't at all be affected by the 1500's. The problem is, I want the truck today, lol. I would have bought an inventory truck, but it seems that dealers don't order mega cabs with bench seats up front. I need all the room I can get for the family of 4 plus 2 dogs.

Now THAT right there, is awesome news. I would be stoked if it only took a month. I was really hoping we could get this truck in before the end of May, for summer camping and traveling. I did get one update yesterday that it is ready for the next allocation, which is at the beginning of May.

Truck just went into "production scheduled" status today. Much faster than I thought.
