When I bought my trailer I looked at ones the same size as yours, Super Stock I think was the model. I liked the space but the weight was over twice what the 28' ATC weighed. About the same money and I opted for the ATC. I can still fit my ATV in it.

I was averaging 13-15 mpg pulling it.
The weight is not a good thing but I really wanted the bath with the capability to use it to stay in at multiple day events. It’s basically a toy hauler RV that makes staying in the pits with the car a pleasure and a lot cheaper than area motels. The 50 gallon fresh water and holding tanks allow for showering and no need to be visiting the track “facilities”. The only thing better would be a stacker behind a motor coach. Now we’re talking 5 mpg 😖

OK, I have an update to this original post, that is if anyone can remember what the initial topic was (LOL). My order has been taken 'off' restricted, however it is still a 5N7 sales code and still in BG status. I'm not sure what this development means, is there any hope at all my Challenger HC WB RE car will ever get built? Anybody have an opinion ?
Hey Don. Nope 😂

I can totally understand what you are saying.

Gets 10gpm...

Wow thats worse than a 747!
I don't get quite that much, usually. On the other hand, the fees for 25,000 lbs. of luggage would probably outweigh (no pun intended) the cost of fuel.

Plus, I like towing and hate flying, so I'd drive no matter what.

My Durango is a 5N7 and bounced between BX and BG a few times.

It was built a month ago, but seems to have gotten stuck after that. Still no window sticker.

Is this ICE shutdown or chip/part "delay" related?

Dodge has just blown apart at the seams. What a sad thing to watch. The focus that drove their success and branding over the last 8 or 9 years has all been voluntarily abandoned.

But the root cause, again, in my opinion, is the desire to build things in other places bc americans are thought to be default too expensive. When you do not control the factories and push comes to shove youre f-ed. America - greed and stupidity.

In my case it's probably waiting for some useless tech add-on, which I don't want in the first place.

Worst case, they forgot to install the sunroof (which I really don't want) and are now cutting a big hole in what was a perfectly good roof.

We'll see what happens. If nothing else, pretty soon I should be able to order a Base model, and in the color I want.

Getting answers out of Stelantis is like trying to get Hunter's laptop data from the FBI.

Your selling dealer can tell you unless they're retarded.

I have some serious concerns about some of these dodge salespeople and managers, it's almost like this is the brand that people with the lowest iq want to sell cars at 🤣🤣🤣.

I agree! I have been purchasing Dodge products for decades and I have noticed a decline of the salesstaff. Example: This past Saturday, I was attempting to order a Ram Classic, my way. The salesman was interested in selling a Ram Longhorn (not a Classic). I informed the salesman, numerous times, I want the Classic, as it fits in my garage and I will transfer my lid and bedrug. Well, I was told the Longhorn is more modern, more options, more room and looks better. As I explained to him, it's my money and I buy, what I want! Then I done a 180 and made a quick exit. I hate going to dealerships...

That's why I buy cars using the phone and email.

May call several in search of the right vehicle and at a good price. And it's almost comical how some call and/or email even a year later hoping to make a sale. Hell, by then I've found and bought my car, and is usually looking for something entirely different.

Yeah I agree with the sentiment, honestly you could try ordering from koons, chapman, or mark dodge, they would give you 3% below invoice and you could custom order you car. Shoot me a pm if you need help finding a dealer to order from.

There are small, even dinky, dealerships with good pricing (and customer service), too.
Finding one can take a little extra effort, though.

Sounds good, but in North Florida, it's "Mission Impossible." I've bought two cars in the last 6-8 months and I hated every minute dealing with car dealers, especially trying to find a Demon. I have contacted dealers in south Georgia and central/north Florida and they suck!

I search nationwide. Closer is obviously nice, but far from a necessity for me.

The dealer I buy all FCA/Stellanis vehicles from is 450 miles away, which I kinda consider close. Makes for a long day to go pick them up, but well worth it.
