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.

One of the monitor, moderators, on here is a retire past employee of what was Chrysler Corp.. back a few years ago, shame on my poor memory for not remembering his user name
I will remember it as soon as I post this, if that happens I'll update this with his I.D.

Last name I believe was Rafferdy or so like that. We use to just call him Raff.

A few of you understand. There is no line interruption, that's been conformed. It's as simple as telling the robot to paint it, that's been conformed. Those of you who own a body shop or work as a painter in a shop understand paint codes and variances. It comes down to some pencil neck choosing what colors they feel look best on a certain model. I even offered to pay in full before it's built. When I ordered my 2022 Ram, I should of ordered a mega cab instead of a crew cab. Live and learn, at the end of the day, the money is still in my pocket and not theirs.

Post-COVID OEMs have figured out it's better to keep the lots empty and make a premium on each vehicle, rather than keeping the lots full of unsold inventory and have to give a bunch of incentives and discounts to get rid of them. That's the way things are right now. It's not 1970 anymore.

Myth.

Ram dealer here has 450 trucks on the lot all collecting dust, and every other dealer I drive by is bursting at the seams with inventory as well.
