Sounds like the delivery system is the real culprit and is drastically different depending on where you are in the country and if your truck needs to get on a boat. I don't blame you guys on the East Coast for being pi$$ed off for the ridiculous wait. Especially when the truck is sitting idly at a port or distribution yard.

On the other hand my truck was in my hands less than 30 days after KZ (3/9-4/8). The big difference is it was delivered to the West Coast completely by rail to Oregon. Total time from order to delivery was within the 6-8 weeks that I was told.

You'd think that DC would treat these sold customer orders with some more respect. I wouldn't have ordered if I knew the wait was going to be longer. Seems like the only thing DC is providing us is an absolutely awesome engine. To be honestly everything else is average to poor (customer service, SUSPENSION, interior).

Enough ranting for me, everything's a compromise. Back to drivin' and enjoyin' my new toy.

 

Walkin outta my deal. It wasn't all that great and I don't like the feel of this at all. Quality hold for a month >??
They can build em but can't move em.
No answers, dealers in the dark.
Bad mileage, shake rattle and roll...... ???

I'm just thinkin maybe I can wait for something else.
Cause I sure can't afford to find out this babby is a nightmare.
Or get caught with "The" model that turns out to be the black sheep of the flock.

I've seen this stuff too many times from product intos to place my bet here. These guys are in a world of hurt and not handling their most valuable customers (early adopters) very well. This could end up being as bad as Ford's Power Joke horrors.....

Who knows?

 

I think you are all over reacting. Let me say this again, and this is from someone who just came out of Ford F350 PSD, which in 35,000 meticulously maintained miles, and rarely worked hard, had THREE PAGES of warranty work, one tow-to-dealer, and two "would-be" tows if I hadn't been only a mile from the dealer.

I also had a 97 Ram 2500 V10 (a great reliable truck), so I also have that for comparison.

This is the FINEST vehicle I have ever had (and I've had many -cars and trucks, foreign and domestic). Smooth, quiet (too quiet, I like a little diesel rattle). NO vibrations, effortless power, stops AWESOME (and my Ford had 4-wheel discs also). Mileage, I get in the 12s on the same stop and ....stop commute that my PSD got inthe 15s, and that my V10 got in the 9s! Put that V10 in this heavy truck, I wouldn't even get that.

I know the mileage will get a little better, but will it ever equal the PSD? Maybe not, but this is a bigger, heavier truck.

Build quality is excellent, interior is nice.

You guys on the fence can do what you want, but I think you're overreacting. Try the Ford - there ARE good ones out there, but I got a bad one. You pay your money, and you take your chances. Personally, I think your chances are MUCH better with Dodge.
