New truck or not I’m in a awful tizzy

This is not In the front

You might have to snap a photo. I saw a couple brand new trucks today. They only had the stuff in the front. Nothing in the rear.

This is in the back above the cargo light. So it’s a 360 view camera Did I order it on my néw truck I got to get by there and take a picture and post it

Don’t think so. There isn’t a single camera for the 360° view, as it uses 4 of the 5 cameras to create the view. There is a camera in the grill, tailgate, and each mirror that are used. The 5th camera is the cargo camera.

A picture would help. Could it be a dealership security/monitoring system?

Ok I took my wife who just got back from Germany last and drove over to the dealer to show her. Drove clear to the opposite end of a mostly empty lot. So we could get out and look and take a picture. Here comes the salesman pretty fast times are slow now . I explained to him my problem He actually knew the answer. The trucks on the lot are all 1/2 t or 3/4 t 2021 and the huge antenna is in the back. But 3500 1 tons the antenna is in the front of the cab. I think my worry’s are over. Pictures s bit later. Promise

2500/3500 should be the same, but that antenna is on the back of 1500’s.

I’d say you were looking up the wrong skirts

You mean like the shark fin on this 2019 Ram 1500 Limited, Gen 5?
The Ram 2500/3500 are all in the front as they have not yet morphed into a full Gen 5 truck...Still a Gen 4 platform with some Gen 5 options, hence Gen 4.5 for the '19(?)-'21 HD trucks. With all the delays who really knows what platform the '22s will show up in.

Red truck is my new 3500. The white truck shows the big blob antenna that would not fit under my camper

Thats a 1500.

That’s why I skeptical that @Turbo Terry’s truck has actually been ordered. Too many unknowns about 22 to even have an option list yet, let alone back when the dealership took his order.

Notice tail lights, side window design, rinky-dinky exhaust tail pipe, 6 lug wheels, short bed, rear view mirrors, belt line, basic form. This is a "New" (Not Classic) Ram 1500 Tradesman, 5th Gen.

Same here for the Big Horn, except the dual exhaust:

3500 Tradesman - Note the shark fin location, longer bed, belt line, more beef. Purdee truck...

I would agree pack a lunch waiting, but a Trademan could have some benefits with less tech delays.

I would say just enjoy your 99 that much longer and you will be happy with your new truck.

Found this handy list, says Monday is the first day of production, so would think there is a pretty long line of orders.

Turbo Terry - buy the new truck, enjoy life a bit and don't look back. After a short time you will enjoy this new truck. I am still enjoying my old 09 but would love to have a newer one. I am watching (hoping) for a different transmission than the 68RFE in the 2500 trucks.

A quick chat with a salesman at a larger CDJR dealership in Somerset, KY last weekend indicated that lots of their generic, sales manager ordered “stock” vehicles (2021’s) are even dwindling away by purchasers sight unseen.....with substantial deposits already placed on the trucks. If I recall correctly......at least 20 to 25 within the order bank are already spoken for.

Yes it’s strange times for sure. I still have my old 99. I guess it’s wait and see from here on out.

Well TT, from the chart Timd32 posted it would appear your countdown clock may have been activated. A little patience and it may be here sooner than later. Once it shows up and you take it for the "initial official" test drive, you'll be beaming one huge smile...and maybe even a fleeting thought of "why didn't I do this sooner?". The ears, nose, as well as the creaking, creeping, crawling bones-n-muscles will appreciate it too, giving you more time to enjoy other fun stuff (primary love of your life - the sweet wife) than laying on you back on the ground, or playing fender cover for an item just a fraction of an inch beyond your reach (secondary love, and vocabulary enhancer).
