Can anyone tell me if being on Ramp 79 awaiting shipment is better than being "awaiting shipment" at factory which is the case with the original order built 1/9? Also does anyone know the average time on Ramp 79?

I think it is better, but that is only a guess. At least it now has a ramp designation. My window sticker stated ramp 'R' from the beginning. Not sure if that meant Rail. I would guess that yours will likely be making most of its journey by rail. I 'Googled' Markham IL and found the rail yards where the vehicles are parked awaiting shipment. You can even see the yellow ramps that are used to load the rail cars. I think the time spent at the ramp has everything to due with the availability of rail cars, again assuming it is going that way. Mine was built Feb. 24th and was at the yard acouple of days later and sat for almost 3 days before it began to move. My salesman was able to keep me informed about some of the vehicle's movements. Arrived at the dealer March 11th. Good luck and hope you get it sooner than later.
