Default 16 Weeks to order a Ram

I ordered in November and they are telling me I wont get it until the end of March....I want a Ram but im not waiting that long...my dealer is trying to get it sped up but if not I have a deal ready to buy a F150 Raptor...there is nothing on the lots and you have to wait 16 weeks to get a vehicle from the factory...I wonder why Chrysler is in trouble!!!

People do not realize how many parts suppliers went out of business during the little stint of bankruptcy on the US side, It shut down suppliers around here left and right, Chrysler and GM are scrambling to find parts. Ford is the only one coming out with the right cars at the right time although the only car they have that even gets me to look at it is the Taurus. The pickup is fugly, not as bad as GM. So I bet you are gonna see a change over to push button starts on all Chryslers soon enough..why not? just keep a fob in your coat pocket and you are golden. If there is ever a way to do my truck it will be done.

Well try to squeeze them for some more money, you need the truck real bad, they might even give you a used one to use until you get yours...show them the deal you have and when you can get it, get them to look around for you, is it that bad they are all sold out?

That Raptor well I am gonna say it...looks like a Craptor, that front end is like something on a Hot Wheels or something. Sorry man, hold out for your Dodge you will love it. Get a firm answer and bring your ford deal with you and don't show them the numbers but just the fact that it has a delivery date, maybe they can find you something. If there is a truck somewhere buy it from them, just have them deliver it and or maybe fly you out and you can drive it back? How much time you have? What exactly are you looking for?

Maybe it's tougher in Canada, but there are plenty of Rams on every lot around here.

Can't say as I've seen any around here with the fake ram air hood on them.

Can't really complain much about having to wait for a truck that has a limited use hood on it. It's not like it's a part they can just slap on at the end of the line.
