Just curious if someone on here knows someone who has a roll in upper management at Ram. I've been trying to order a 3500 mega cab diesel since September. Problem is I want it painted Hydro blue. Back in September I was told the color would be available after the first of the year. The color is available now, but only on the Power Wagons and the Rebels which are built at the same plant. Ram continues to refuse to paint a SOLD truck, a, available color. I have tried a couple of dealerships. I have written Auburn Hills 35 letters, sent over 40 emails regarding this. Ram has responded to two emails, the first was back in September and second was in February. I was informed by both dealers that this request is simple, just need a manager to sign off on it. Does anyone have a connection at Ram? I am mind boggled that Ram doesn't what to sell me a truck. In retail business, a sale is a sale. Back in 2009 Chrysler begged us for money to keep the doors open. How quickly they have forgotten.
Expecting any car company to paint one vehicle a specific color until they schedule that color production run is pretty crazy, to tell you the truth. These days the vehicles are dipped, not sprayed. They are not going to change the color in the dip tank for a single vehicle, its not economically possible. Your special order colored truck might be the 1st one they do that color, but its going to wait until they are ready to paint however many they can paint on one batch through the tank. Order 20 trucks the same color, maybe they will move that color up a little sooner on the schedule. It is also entirely possible the color you want isn't available at this point yet. Its going to be hard to paint something when the color isn't available yet.
The current owner of Chrysler Corporation is not the same company that owned it back in 2009. What happened back then is of no concern of this current company. The year is 2023, nothing is the same as it was as recent as 2020. Get used to it!
