I have decided to turn in my '17 charger for a new 2019 Ram Limited. I am trying to order one, but this has been easier said then done. I first tried to order one in Patriot Blue.... dealer tells me FCA no longer offers it in that color. OK fine I pick out a new color. Now I am being told that FCA is not currently allowing dealers to order them with a etorque engine, which is what I really want.

Has anyone else recently tried to order one and run in to these issues? What the heck is FCA doing???

One of the dealers reps said FCA was waiting for parts. Ram would start taking orders about November then ship about January. There is a thread on the forum.

First post here. Am in same boat, and was planning to place order yesterday. Dealer response was, "We cannot order eTorque engine right now. It may be another month before we can." To which I asked why? "We're not sure the factory has it on hold."

I guess I didn't look deep enough in the forums. Can you provide a link to that thread please?

Could not find the post. Check with other dealers they can not order it.

I'm not questioning if it is true or not I'm just trying to get as much info as possible because I would prefer the etorque but I would also like the vehicle before winter hits hard here in southeast Michigan. So now I have to make the decision of getting one now without it or waiting and getting it.

Have you looked at other states to see if they have what you are looking for? www.freelandauto.com will pay i think it is $200 to fly you down to pick up the truck if they have what you want.

I am not sure of an easy way to check other states other then putting in zip codes for major cities on the ram search. That place looks interesting but does not have what I'm looking for. My issue is I'm looking for a specific set of features that the dealers don't order for their lots. 5.7 etorque, rambox, bed utility, tech group 1 or w/e it's called, 3.92 rear axle, and no tow group because I want the 360 camera. So yeah I'm not going to get it unless i order it. :-/
