2026 RAM RHO Order/Schedule/Build Thread

[Eighty]

I don’t have an RHO ordered but this seems to be the most knowledgeable forum I have found for Ram orders. I had to join this just to ask if anyone knows of a group like this for Limited orders? Mine has been “in production” since January 23.

I'm not aware of a group where there's active tracking/participation for other DT models. But I'll tell you that I track all of them - give me your VIN and I'll do the same (even if it's an inferior trim haha)

You didn’t even ask if it’s blue!

Because I already know the answer. There are no Hydro Blue Limiteds for 2026. Take that!

Is that all? Mine has been in production since October 4th!!!!

Wow. I have seen a few stories like yours. That’s insane to say the least.

I really appreciate the help. I really thought about the RHO for sure but the loaded Limited had some features that I really wanted though. I’m going from a 22 Cummins Limited 2500 to this 1500. The biggest trailer I pull is a 16’ cargo so the 2500 got to be oversized overkill.

It is blue. Forged Blue. I already have 1 bright blue Ram. I still have my 1999 1500 with the 360 motor and original Petty Blue PB3 paint. I bought it right after high school in 2000 and it still runs great. 360,000miles on the original motor and we still drive is almost everyday.

I found your build sheet on 1/26, so presumably it was published that day (although with the non-RHO trims I sometimes find them a day or two late). No window sticker yet, but I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know.

Oh just read this entire thread and you will see. Mine was 243 days, another was damn near a year. 25my some were over a year, there are no way of knowing they just pull a vin# out of a hat.

Idk where you live but you can cancel the order and buy one in stock for $8k-12k off msrp. For example this dealer is 40 minutes from me, in south florida, discounted more than mark dodge now. It was not this way 2 months ago.

I thought about this, but I really want the serrano green now. And it's hard to find one with the same spec discounted in a different color with the discount. I also find it fun having to wait for something built for you specifically.

Thank you Joe, but I need to stay with my hometown dealer.

 

[Eighty]

Today's build sheets. 113 total, none were member VINs that I'm tracking.

 

[Trhoney]

Thank you Joe, but I need to stay with my hometown dealer.

I wish my hometown dealer was good but they are just awful with sales. The service is great luckily. I happily drive 12 hours to Mark Dodge to not ever have to deal with my local dealer. Plus, that Golden Nugget there owes me some money from my last trip.

Looks like the window sticker guy is still on vacation today. The backlog is climbing again. If something changes, I'll let y'all know.

Hey @Eighty on your "Factory Status Codes" post from August 26th 2024 you mentioned:

"KZ – released by plant and invoiced. The truck is ready to be shipped. The dealer is actually charged for the truck at this point and can be a source of delay. Typically two statuses here: "Awaiting Shipment" or "Staged for Shipment""

What do you mean by "The dealer is actually charged for the truck at this point and can be a source of delay. " and what are some of the factors that can cause the delay?

The dealer must make the payment to Stellantis before the truck will actually be shipped. So if a dealer is slow in making the payment (due to someone being sick or on vacation, or the dealership having a financing issue, as examples), it could delay the truck's departure from the factory.
EDIT: Now keep in mind, this is knowledge passed down throughout the past several years. If there are any dealers that would like to chime in and refine the knowledge (if refinement is necessary), I would invite them to add to this conversation.

The factory introduced a really good program on the 26 Rebel, Big Horn and Laramie (excludes RHO).. I know it may not apply to the RHO, but for those that are open to the others, you can get up to 4500 rebate and treadlightly and dealer discount and 72x2.9 or 84 at 4.9 as a combo.. so not only strong discounts but also low aprs.. it started today out in the West business center which are most stores and states west of the Rockies. I can give further details specific to a particular car as such.. feel free to dm me.

 

[DaLandMan]

Howdy, @Eighty. Figured I’d throw my name in the hat on a VIN. 1C6SRFUP2TN362483.

Thank you!

Of course- I hope you get it soon
