Exactly the same for me...sounds like our trucks are traveling together. Are you going to have yours shipped to SD? I'll be having mine shipped to NM. I expect to offload my Raptor by the end of this week (handshake deal with a buyer).

I'm still mulling over ideas. Was planning to fly down and pick it up at one point, but finding cheap flights is ridiculous around me. By the time I had the wife drive me to Minneapolis for a flight to Houston, fuel, hotels, etc... I might as well have just had someone deliver it to me. Going to see how things progress and maybe try to arrange meet up with the transporter somewhere in between.

Curious, why didn't you go with a discount dealer that does drop shipping (courtesy delivery to a local dealer), like Glover in Ok? Seems like it would have saved you some $ and headache.

Probably, but I didn't know that was a thing till after I'd already placed my order and put down my nonrefundable deposit with MD. Oh well, it'll be something for me to keep in mind for next time.

Mark Dodge is awesome. At least you got a good deal.

In hindsight, I could've saved a bit with Glover or driving down to Granger in Iowa, but really, that's been the only issue I've had with MD so far, so absolutely no complaints. Would've cost me an extra $5k to buy it from my local dealer and I would've probably given them my business if they could've got the difference to less than $2k. Oh well. Lol

Mine was in Production June 30th and just updated as built on July 14th this morning, though probably actually finished sometime before that since MD confirmed it was in J status (storage awaiting transport) on that day.

Don't worry too much. The tracker lags a lot and there was a major holiday in between as well. Check with your dealer for a more accurate update.

Mine was also updated to built on July 14th and not marked shipped, have a call into Ashley at Mark Dodge, waiting to hear back

I wish Ram would figure out how to make the tracker work properly lol. It was the same exact shit 3 years ago when I ordered my Rebel. Figure it out.

I know it's not crucial, and it's nice to have, but just fix it already.

Ramit · Jul 29, 2025

Update from dealer: mine should be here either tomorrow or Thursday.
For reference, tracker says 8/6

I ordered my MY 2025 back in March from Mark Dodge. White base model with just decals and step bars. It got bumped to a MY 2026 in June and I still have no eta on production...

Ditto

Ram should take a play out of Fords playbook. Customer orders are built first. My 24 F350 was built and delivered in 60 days.

This is insane and would frustrate the hell out of me. I ordered my 2026 in May, two months after you, and it's already in transit and likely to be at the dealership (Mark Dodge) mid to late August.

Why do they seemingly skip over certain orders while building other ones that were ordered way later?

You would think they would build in the order they were ordered. Not by spinning a wheel and wherever it lands your the lucky one.

By the way ordered in March as well.

I think it's all about the options, I heard decals slow it down because it has to go back to the paint shop

Order date July 14th, tracker hasn’t moved since. I have a feeling the tracker isn’t very accurate

Reordered June 18th scheduled June 20th still sitting there.

I've been looking a Raptor locally, I offered 5k below MSRP and they declined. But if they bite before my RHO moves, I'll have a Raptor. I don't want to wait six months to a year for an RHO. I sold my 24 F350 a month ago thinking I was ordering right when the 26 order banks opened so I would have been part of the first batched of 26 RHOs.
