RHO Orders @ Mark Dodge! $9K-$11K off MSRP

[MattH89]

MOOOOVES the first few RHO's have been INVOICED and moved to "K" status's.
This means that the dealership starts paying for the vehicles NOW and they have bene released from the grips of the body vendor.
These customers MAY get a email from Ram saying "your vehicle has shipped" or see their tracker bar go to BUILT or SHIPPED. Technically everything starting with a K status is listed as "shipping" now this is to the benefit of RAM because that's when we get invoiced. In fact, I didn't even see it one of our accounting team had to text me and say HEY WE GOT OUR FIRST RHO INVOICE!

As this thread is growing increasingly long (I've had multiple new customers say - dude - give me the cliffnotes I can't read 50 pages) I may start a separate thread for ACTUALLY shipped trucks and talk all things timing there. But for now, I'll share the following:

SHIPPED does not mean a boat, it means a combination of trains, storage lots, and carrier trucks.
SHIPPED does not mean that it has actually started moving, it means that it is now ALLOWED to start moving, and is in the hands the SHIPPING people, not the body vendor people.
We will never, ever, be given an eta of an actual day that the vehicle is expected to get to the dealership.
The best piece of data we have is when it actually does get on a train, we at least know the ETA of that train getting to the last rail stop (for us that's Port Allen) then we can estimate it gets to the dealership based on micro trends to what is going on there recently. Even if we DID know the exact date it was coming, we still recommend not booking any travel arrangements until we have our hands on the vehicle and get through at least the first review of condition.

Much more info to come - but for now some data that is promising!

Good news but not for us May guys. Hope production ramps up for the RHO before they start concentrating on the electric and hybrid models.

Looks like Back - they have added and removed D1 status' dozens of orders if you look back at the previous charts. Up and down we were up to 180 D1s and back to 9 now

Damn april.... i knew i should have waited to order. They need to honestly start scheduling april orders at this point. @AnthonyRI any recent news for the early orders at this point?

How often does the tracker page get updated and how accurate is it since some are moving in and out of phases?

No idea on the frequency, it is often delayed a few days after we can see it on our end. Accuracy? Again, wouldn't count on it.

Going to need to move SPECIFIC status requests on any specific MD order back to normal process - email your salesperson with the VON in the subject line.
Can't keep track when it's in a thread of 1K posts (and that's a quick way to get to 2K posts that are not relevant to the group at large)

Curious. What city is everyone ordering from? Houston here, thinking about having a group for RHO owners locally.

Fellow Houstonian here!

 

[Dcchris311]

I got moved from D1 to D....... April 26 order.

 

[Kaiser75]

I guess I got moved back from scheduled according to the list Anthony put out earlier. Ordered June 21 scheduled August 30 nothing since then. The tracker still has me showing as scheduled though.

Congrats. I thought your name was on the sticker. I didn't see it.

It does come with your name on the sticker but they dont post that online. It will also come with whatever dealer ordered it on the window sticker also
