Ram boxes looks like, Good looking, I had a black one that got smucked, wife said I spent too much time washing it, but you gota keep it shiny.
How much more snap would I get with with TRX button, I do have red truck already.
That should help also.
garage looks nice as well

That’s what I had wondered about when I placed the order. It’s all there just as I wanted. Maybe that’s why it took 3 1/2 months for it to be built.
Just don’t understand what took so long with the shipping part. That was 2 months!

Congrats on the new rig...very nice! I just placed an order for a 2023 1500 Limited Night Edition w/3.92 gears. Dealer estimated 3 mos for delivery and told me he likes to under promise and over deliver so I guess there's a chance it could arrive sooner but not holding my breath. Had a VIN# within 48hrs of the order being placed on Jan 18th...truck is currently in D1 status so in production queue awaiting assembly.

How accurate was the timeframe your dealer gave you? Two months just to get it shipped seems a bit much, but I'm sure there are a lot of factors outside of their control.

Thanks!

Ramsteen23, Dealer told me at least 3 months. I was in D1 status from August 23 ( got a text from Ram ) till November 11th when I was told ( text from Ram ) that it had started the assembly process. Ram also said in the same text that estimated “delivery“ date was December 22nd.
It was shipped on November 21st, but then the delivery showed as “TBD”. I ended up not picking it up till January 20th. ( It was at the dealership on January 18th.
Really annoying thing mostly was how long the delivery took. I had been worried about the railroad strike, but that was never a factor. It was held at the delivery site for almost 2 months! Only a little over an hour away, and my dealership HAD to wait for it to be delivered. No just going to the holding yard and picking it up.
Plus it was really ******* me off that guys were taking delivery of 2023s and I was still waiting for a 2022!
One good thing is you are price protected as my truck went up almost $1300 MSRP from my original MSRP. Plus the truck is optioned out the way you want it.
I searched a lot on RamTruck site doing dealer searches looking for something very close to my order, but I could never find anything.
In the end it will be worth the wait and I believe it won’t take much more than 3 months till you get yours. Good Luck!!

I thought I needed a little color so I added the Rough Country brake caliper covers.

 

[Ramsteen23]

Sweet touch with the calipers...matches the red start button nicely haha! I had the same issue trying to find a 2022 that had what I wanted so when I decided to order one, I figured I might as well go with a 2023.

Thanks for the insight and details on your experience. Sounds like the dealer would've been in the ball park with the ETA if it wasn't for the extended shipping delay. I just hope I don't run into any unexpected/lengthy delays but only time will tell. I hate when things are out of my control and all I can do is sit and wait. Of course, I'm already planning some mods including a Revel Performance Lift Kit and 35x12.5 Toyo OC A/T III tires.

Really like the mods you've done so far. I've installed the Weathertech no-drill mudflaps on my last two Rams...they look good and they last. I'm looking to order a set for my new 2023 1500 Limited but the site doesn't seem to list a part# for the 2023's with Fender Flares...I'm assuming the 2022 versions work fine...is that what you went with?

I'm also considering getting their bug deflector...I also like the OEM deflector but it comes in matte black which I'm not sure I like since it doesn't blend in with the grill as well.
