Interesting:

Just went to cars.com and see that there are 33 Ecodiesels listed for sale by various dealers nation wide...

Does this mean they have hit their lots? Or are they pre-selling trucks that arent' yet delivered.

Didn't go to autotrader but I bet one would see the same.

Hmmmm. I WANT MY TRUCK!

Looks like most of them are pre selling them. I found 139 through out the US. All of them were a stock photo. I found my vehicle on the cars app and my dealers website.

 

[tugboat]

saw this yesterday too

i think over the course of the next few days all the dealers should start showing them in stock

At least they are being listed. It's sure to get a lot of people hyped as some search classifieds every day, i know i do!

 

[romadrod]

I learned that when a vehicle hits the dealer's inventory, they have it set up to automatically populate on their website. So a lot of the ones you may find are sold orders.

 

[tugboat]

yep.

so did anyone get their diesels yet?

 

[romadrod]

No. Mine was supposed to be rail loaded yesterday. Apparently it's still "staged for shipment".

Did they at least give you a set delivery date?

The "set" delivery date has changed a few times. Initially it was the 8th. Then the 19th. I was given the 24th, a few days ago, if my truck was loaded on rail yesterday. It wasn't. So I don't know what the new date is now.

 

[tugboat]

ah that sucks

at least its the final stretch

wow, sorry to hear that, i hate when they do this.
hopefully they can finalize a date that they will actually come through on. keep us posted on that.

 

[tugboat]

its possible there are some delays or they are building more before they ship them out.

 

[romadrod]

Apparently there was an issue with a valve that caused the new inspection. That's all I know from reading other forums.

I noticed on another forum that some people are taking delivery of their vehicles. Positive impressions by them so far.

Yea I've seen a few of those as well! personally i wont take them seriously until the honeymoon period is over. I mean the way I see it, most of the first allocation has gone to guys who have wanted a diesel half ton for an age, plus the fact that many have been waiting for months just to order and then a few more months until delivery, you have to imagine there is a bit of pent up excitement flowing through those keyboards at the moment

but positive indeed!

Thats good to hear. Which forum is this and any specific things about what they said that you want to point out?

It was on this one here...RAM 1500 Diesel Forum

As of today, I only read of one on that site getting delivery. He was pleased with the purchase, but has had one small issue so far. One of the doors wouldn't unlock.

Door not unlocking is not good. Is this from the outside or inside?

 

[tugboat]

i think another week and 2 or more members are gettin their rams.

 

[Diesel Washington]

Yea, every day I'm checking in to see if people have got theirs yet. I'm excited to hear some first impressions on the vehicle and to see some pictures from members.

What is this doors unlocking issue? That sounds super annoying to have happen to your new car.

I don't want to put down for one until I see if people like it yet.
