Default new truck on order how long????

Ordered a new Ram 1500 QC Laramie hemi back in february. Dealer said it was built in Warren Michigan on March 7. Delivery dates were posted and changed week after week. March 14, 15, 23, 24 and most recently April 1 and still no truck. How long does it take to deliver? I figure it's been damaged or it's sitting on a lot outside rusting. This really sucks. I've been trying to buy a new ram since January when gas was still $1.50 but the dealers basically screwed me around for months. Now the same thing with the factory. I'll wait until the end of the week and if its not here I'm off to give the Nissan store my $40K for a new Titan.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Dave

The reason you see so many nissan and toyotas on the lots is because they aren't selling like the dodges. Nissan and toyota aren't willing to deal like dodge will. Besides the fact that Nissan and Toyota suck!!!

I live in Michigan and it came from the st louis plant
