The last thing I heard was the R/Ts will be @ dealers for sale in January.

Not sure when the order system would be open. I would guess late October or early November.
If I were to guess, there is a part availability issue with a unique part for the R/T only. Possibly the 2.4L engine or something to do with the R/T unique suspension.
Looks like I am going to wait to order my R/T in Jan or Feb. That way it should arrive at the end of the Michigan winter. I can deal with my beater S10 pick up till then.
