Yep, they shut the Jeep Cherokee plant down in Belvidere, IL for a week due to semiconductor shortage. Seems the Chinese and Japanese are more interested in selling billions of chips to the computer, cell phone, and electronics market instead of the lower volume of cars... The consequences of limited capacity here in the U.S.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I don't know what you are looking for or how far you want to go to get it but a dealer here, who sells a lot of trucks, has eight. From what I hear the dealership enjoys a good reputation. My limited dealings with them have been good. https://www.chrisnikel.com/new-vehicles/chassis-5500/

I just ordered a 21 Ram Classic Tradesman 4x4 two weeks ago they are saying 8-12 weeks delivery but probably sooner. Dealer had one in stock which Is rare as most dealers don't stock Classic short bed / regular cab 4x4s mostly high dollar Big Horns , Laramies , quad cabs, crew cabs etc. I would have taken its except the rear gears were wrong. Turns out it was ordered then the customer canceled the order upon delivery.

I ordered a Ram 2 weeks ago, (with help from a member here who got me a friends code ) and was told 10-12 weeks for delivery. I felt the salesman was being optimistic and I might be lucky if I have it before July. Got an email today with the VIN and saying expected delivery first week of May. I was checking inventory at numerous dealers regularly for several months before I ordered, and found very little in the way of 2500s in anyone’s inventory except some Tradesmans and a few loaded Laramies, a couple Power Wagons, and very little in between. Rebates are non existent except for the usual active duty military, first responders and recent grad ones. I was wanting used, but the used market is nuts now, why buy a 2-3 year old truck with 40,000 miles if you can buy new with a factory warranty and no miles for $5000 more?

BUNCH of new Rams at my local dealer - just drove past it today. Most of them are going to be 1500 Crew Cabs & 4x4. None of the dealers here have any Challengers. Is Brampton still idled because of no chips?

GOOD luck with that code mS .... A dealer down in Florida weasled out of the one I got ... But I'm not done with them yet Contract signed with the F&F price (invoice -1%), and deposit paid, I don't how they could weasel out of the deal doc? Truck with "built especially for Mastershake" printed on the window sticker scheduled to arrive first week of May. I did notice on the 100 pages of details of F&F someone posted here not long ago, that SRT vehicles are not eligible. Isn't that what you have? Rams are eligible, with the exception of TRX since that must be SRT?

I like mastershake just got an email today with a vin # for my new Ram Classic supposed delivery the week of May 3rd Salesman emailed me today that my build is scheduled next week! With delivery then about 3 weeks afterwards. So 10-12 weeks originally estimated is shortened to 6 weeks, and here I thought production was all messed up by shortages and I’d be lucky to see my truck by July.... I know you shouldn’t count your chickens before they are parked in your driveway, but looking like I won’t have to worry about not getting it in time for show season.

Thats great !! hope mine is the same! I am trying to time selling my 08, dropping my trailer at the track and the new one arriving. First points day is April 17 fingers crossed it comes by then and the 08 is sold. The dealer gave me a good price on trade but I think I can sell it on my own for more if I get a build notice like you received I can get more aggressive with the sale.
