According to my dealer I am at D1. Anyone know what exactly that means? I emailed CS on tuesday and they sent me a VIN. My order was placed 7/5 for a CC sport 2wd, no air ride.

Has anyone progressed past D1 yet?

I'm going to loose it, truck has been in rail yard 2 hours away for days now!!! Looks like I won't be seeing it till next week its got me steamed. :4-angermax:
No point in losing it....the final leg of the trip is the most frustrating. From the distribution yard to the dealer.

In December we took delivery of my wife's '14 Durango R/T. It sat at the Twin Oaks, Pa distribution yard for 10 days. That yard is only 2 hours away. I spoke with the sales manager from my selling dealer yesterday and he told me that it is still taking a long time to get trucks from the yard. It isn't just your truck. It is a distribution issue ( not his words, but as how I see it). My truck is scheduled to arrive at Twin Oaks 3/7. I am estimating that it doesn't get to the dealer for 10 days after that. If earlier, great!

I guess that we all would like to think that there is an empty car hauler waiting for OUR new truck to get off loaded from the train and then quickly loaded on to the hauler and delivered to the dealer. In actual fact OUR new truck gets parked in a lot amongst hundreds of other trucks waiting to be loaded based on destination.How many trucks fit on a hauler? 8-10 ? DRW owners have it even tougher as they are more difficult to place on the hauler. Some people will say that "SOLD" vehicles get priority. Not based on my recent experience.

Bottom line is that the last 100-200 miles can take just as long or longer than the initial train ride from the plant. And yes, it is frustrating. And I know that it drives dealers nuts (at least mine) if it is the last week of the month and they want those sales to count and they cant get those trucks.

Hang tight. From one day to the next it will be there and of course it will be the one day that you can't get to the dealer.

Here's an example of how an order / build can progress...

Jan 11 - Ordered new truck at dealer
Jan 15 - Received 'Priced Order Confirmation' via email from dealer showing VIN/VON
Jan 22 - Found this thread and provided spp with my VIN/VON
Jan 23 - First spp update with me on the list
Jan 23 - Status - 'D1'; Est Build Date Feb 1; Est Ship Date Feb 3
Feb 3 - Status - 'G' (Trim)
Feb 4-10 - Status 'JS' (Storage) - Possibly held for a software update for UConnect??
Feb 11-13 - Status 'JB' (Body Vendor) - Out of JS and off to get spray-in bedliner
Feb 14-24 - Status 'KZ' (Staged for Shipment) - Back from JB and getting in line for a truck ride
Feb 25 - Morning - Status - 'On Truck to Dealer' - I'm thinking one more week of waiting
Feb 25 - Afternoon - Call from dealer that truck is being unloaded and will be ready for pick-up next day
Feb 26 - 'Delivered'

Only 46 days in total, but JS, JB and KZ seemed to take forever.

Please take good care of spp!

Glad you got your truck! Enjoy. My experience in watching all of this though is there are so many variables that can contribute to vastly different times of build and delivery; thus the quoted 10-12 weeks time frame by Chrysler. We ordered the 2 trucks on December 12 with the Dealership and was entered into VOTS for production December 16. The first truck was delivered Feb 7 (54 Days) the second truck is at 104 days and counting :doh:. I console myself that my truck will always be newer than my husbands. :gy: I should have mine next week... but I admit I am not holding my breath as my ETA has been moved back on a regular basis.

First, I am hunting down the VON only people. mopar44o says his order is in BX (which is good). Not sure about farf02 though. That would help to confirm it's in the pipeline versus sitting off the path waiting for someone to look at the order.



ETA is next week, my gut tells me later than that (if I had to bet money, I would bet the week of the 7th).

Is it true that May is when Outdoorsmans will be built? that's a total wait time of 4 months for me and I'd be royally pissed off
They are in production. You and a lot of others have ordered that specific trim (maybe a sweet spot in price/features/PeopleWhoWantToGoOutdoorsAlsoWantADiesel).

Dang, still in trim on the date of estimated shipment. I compare ordering a vehicle to building a house. They both suck. :)
I've always read ship date to be the day it hits KZ. When the thing actually gets moving to you is another story (Logisitics is fun...).
 
#2,374 ·
Was that for Canada spec Outdoorsman or is that when US orders will open? Still heard from the dealers down here in Ga that only Tradesman, SLT (but it didn't list Outdoorsman under that), and Laramies were available to order last week. No Outdoorsman equals no order from me, or there better be a hellofa discount for me to consider something else.

Congrats bacon...looks good!! Enjoy her!

Owner's manual goes over this feature... But can't find any mention in the specs? Anyone know?

(2014 Laramie Limited)
The back up camera will also display in your rearview mirror if you own a HD 2500/3500 and you opt for the Center High Mount Camera for the bed in place of the Convenience Group (Auto High Beams and Rain Sensitive Wipers). In that case, the back up cam displays in the rear view mirror and the bed cam displays on the center stack.
 
#2,387 ·
I believe that is in the lower trim levels. You will see the image in your touchscreen in the center stack.

ES300940
Outdoorsman Crew 4x4 3.6 air suspension +++
I could have taken delivery today Friday but am out of town for the wknd. My dealer called yesterday and said the truck was on its way to the dealership and they would have it prepped for me today. Looks like Monday will be the day for me.
Ordered Feb 3rd
Will take del on March 3rd
Of note, it was built in Warren Mi. and I live in Metro Detroit too. :smileup:

Dang, still in trim on the date of estimated shipment. I compare ordering a vehicle to building a house. They both suck. :)
