I know the feeling. I was able to track mine like a package using the Vin number. It was off the transport about 2 hours when I picked it up.
Don't forget to call the dealer and tell them to leave all their stickers and advertisements off it. Also if your state doesn't have a front plate, leave that off too. Those trucks are very quiet and love the interiors.

As soon as I picked it up the wife and I had to drive it 68 miles to our favorite resturant. It drives like a dream.

Congratulations I think you'll be very happy with your new truck. Ram makes a great product.

You could jokily say that you are still driving a Daramax. General Motors call's the Canyon/Colorado four cylinder version of that VM Diesel diesel a Duramax.

How many miles until the diesel proves cheaper to drive than the gasser?
Why would a company build a cheapo stripped down pickup with four tires, a diesel engine, 5 speed and a steering wheel? Near impossible to sell to 99% of customers.No options to make money with.

My next truck will have as few options as possible, that Im sure of. I dont need powered nut warmers or power seats and DVD player for that matter. My current ford has all that crap. Cost me $55k. Never again. I dont care one bit about ford, gm or toyota's profit margin, of course they want to sell a rig with every conceivable option. They bring those high-buck rigs in, then they put a $10k off sticker on that same truck after it sits for a few months on the lot to try and sell it
How smart and "knowing your market" is that??I dont necessarily agree that 99% of people wouldnt buy it. A lot of guys on here are the same as me. I want a bare bones work truck, not a mall cruiser. They sell them in other markets, why not here??? The auto companies like to say that people wouldnt buy it, but thats easy for them to say, since they dont offer it in the first place. Its in their best interest to pretend there is no market! Id be all over an Aussie Land Cruiser with a Ute Tray on back, that would be about the only truck that Id be interested in new, although the stripped special order stripped Canyon that is being built for government would at least get me to look at it assuming it gets offered to the public.
