New 2026 Order

[MattH89]

I lol'd at this but let's be honest it's not that simple, Rams timelines are all over the damn place and it's not remotely unreasonable to get upset when someone who ordered their truck 2 months after you gets it 2 months sooner.

Sure. Just get upset at the right entity.

Right! i waited a year for mine, these 26 boys in for a rude awakening. Only THOUSANDS of trucks were built ahead of mine even tho it was one of the first orders in may of 2024. Buckle up buttercups, welcome to the Ram slot machine! $1000 deposit per pull of the handle. LOL. But Yes i 100 percent agree it is stupid but its been happening YEARS. i probably made 1000000 posts bitching about how terribly ram is run while i waited. Welcome to Ram Ranch!!!

You early model year 26 guys missed the fun last year. The order banks opened in April. Production began on August 19th. Ram was stacking orders and when production began they appeared to select orders from the top of the pile. August and September orders where getting built in a month and April and May order were sitting unscheduled. It was a shitshow. My Day 1 Hour 1 order from April was still unscheduled in January (untimely cancelled). Ram seems to be doing better this year.

Truck is estimated to arrive at Pearland TX on 8/16. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to arrive at Mark Dodge once it hits Pearland?

I wonder if my RHO isn't on this same, slow-moving train? Pearland is a BNSF rail yard next to the Houston Hobby airport where Southwest flies in and out of. From there, it's 150 miles East to Mark Dodge; 2.5 hour drive. Should probably be in the next day or so, as soon as they can get a transport truck to pick it up.

My truck was shipped to Pearland on July 20. I don't know when it actually arrived there, but it arrived at Mark Dodge on August 1. Seems like the turnaround from Pearland to MD was quite fast.

How did you get an estimate ship date without the vehicle going in production yet? Just curious for I as well have a June order June 12th…. Originally March…

IDK that is what my dealer told me it showed in the system. And I seen it on his computer screen when I stopped in. As much I want to hold my breathe to that, I don't trust Ram's scheduling to that.

Yeah that date is fully made up.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, judging by the dates, yours may be on the same train. It sucks, but we're almost there!

Awesome, thanks. Hopefully mine moves with a similar timeframe.

Hey guy just received this email from Ram today. Interesting as it notes a 2025 but obviously getting a 2026 has correct vin#.
Just received word from my dealer August 1st had an estimated ship date of Sept 10th, but now received this stating to be built 3rd week of September due to hail storm in Mexico. I googled of course and only found that their was damage to vehicles stored there only.
Anyone else get anything like this of is Ram that I'd up?

Very interesting...

I don't understand this? I thought all these trucks were built in Sterling Heights, Michigan?

Unless they're talking about a parts supplier in Mexico being delayed due to this storm?

That's silly. The 1500's and the RHO are assembled at Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, or SHAP. Just north of Detroit. Michigan. USA. The 2500's are built in Saltillo, Mexico. The Hurricane motors are built in Saltillo, along with the Hemi V8's.

That's what I think, but only know of the hurricane engines.

By the way my first order of this truck was March 1st

I still check-in at HDrams forums. Some are posting that their 2025 HDs have been delayed and might get pushed to a 2026 model. Possibly 18K vehicles were damaged in a recent hailstorm. Maybe the factory that builds the Hurricanes was affected? Can't imagine how Saltillo would otherwise affect the builds on the 1500's. Possibly "Shane" is confused on who he was actually emailing.
