I would tell him to give you the new 2019 for the same money as compensation

So I finally got the vin and build status (kz) from my dealer for my '19 classic, great right?

Well I pulled the build sheet and window sticker and it's missing 3.92's, hitch, and electronic convenience package.

FML

I'm still waiting to hear back from the dealer but I'm trying to decide what to do. Pretty sure it's too late to put in another order, but who knows what FCA is going to do with the classics, especially rcsb.

The hitch isn't a big deal, curt and drawtite have higher tongue ratings and I might go hidden / rollpan anyway.

Gears/cluster/8.4 on the other hand aren't cheap to swap.

I wasn't there when they submitted the order so I don't know who's fault it is. They were going to try and get a truck from another dealer but it was already spoken for so they placed an order the next day. I was under the impression they ordered an identical truck but in white since I signed financing paperwork based on that truck they were going to try and get.

I don't know if I want to just accept the truck and have them knock the difference off, or have them pay for things that I was going to have to pay for out-of-pocket like a tonneau cover and bed liner and live with the missing options.

OR if they can put in another order wait an extra three or four weeks on top of the month I've already been waiting.

Ugh.

I read through the posts. You've done business with this dealer and they've messed you up twice!

You need to ask yourself if you'll be happy with a truck later on that isn't what you really wanted. My only suggestion is to maybe start walking the lots of one of their competitors and see if something comes close.

Good luck and best regards,
Dusty
