    2025 Manufacturing Observations

    Sure, they may be doing the correct formula, but the 2025s are BARELY released and not many on dealer lots. If you want true numbers, go back a few months and you'll see that the 2500s had a 700ish day supply...and that's not with a newly released model... but the current model year with...

    Click bait. That's not correct.

    2025 Quality

    Yep, but I'd be worried if THAT many trucks failed QC checks.

    2025 Ram 1500 Order Updates

    It's an annual shut down, I believe all major auto plants do it for a week or two every year.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That's in line with their usual discounts. They make money on volume of sales not a high margin per unit.

    Removing ETorque

    It will not. It's why I bought a used non eTorque when I could have easily afforded a new '23 but did not want that on my truck.

    2025 Manufacturing Observations

    If it is, it'll likely there for a while. My educated guess is those are there waiting on parts and finishing the build not just to be shipped out. Belvedere isn't an active assembly plant so there's nothing else there to combine them with. There's no reason for them to not rail out direct...

    2025 Manufacturing Observations

    You'll likely be good to go. Something had to of progressed which triggered the VINs being issued. It hopefully should go quick.

    Ram Limited Dash issue

    It is likely heat related, so parking outside in direct sunlight will speed up how fast it fails. My '19 stays garaged and the one spot it had when I bought it 18 months ago hasn't gotten any worse. I'm not going to let a dealer take my truck apart only to install the same poor quality part...

    2025 Manufacturing Observations

    I wasn't the one who posted they were in Belvidere. I'm just saying if they are parking Rams there (over 5.5 hours from SHAP), they are likely there as a place to park them as they are most likely waiting on a part of some sort. Which to me, would mean the lots Stellantis has around Detroit...

    2025 Manufacturing Observations

    They may be waiting on parts. No reason to truck them from SHAP to Belvedere just to go on a train. My '19 went from SHAP to Toledo via truck, then loaded up with some Jeeps and took a truck to my dealer.

    Took home a new truck!

    Sharp truck, love the color! How's it equipped and how was the deal?

    IIRC, they are pumping out 500+ trucks a day...

    2024 Ram 1500 bed vs 2024 2500 bed with Rambox size.

    Keep in mind, what you lose in bed space you'll get some of it back with Rambox space.

    2025 Manufacturing Observations

    It's pretty obvious they are having supply chain issues with some parts on options the higher end trucks have. No VIN will be issued or an order move to "scheduled" status until all parts are available...
