Kicker production has started!!!

There is hope! CSRT-8's with the Kicker system started rolling out on Thursday the 9th (Magnum's too!) ... TWO forum members (KrystalBlue and 425 Hemi) had their CSRT's built on Thursday... and both have the Kicker system... yeah!!

Yeah!! Hopefully this only comfirms what I hope. Both cars (I think) had Kickers AND were very old, delayed orders.

Mine HAS to be fairly close on the horizon! 104035, 104035, 104035, 104035.

I'm not sure when this happened, or even if it's old news, but KICKER has finally been added to the list of orderable options on the CSRT8. So dealers can now add/order Kicker on SRT8 orders.
Secondly, to add to your info, Kicker is NO LONGER TBD for the 300s, but is still TBD on Magnum SRT8s.

I don't think Kicker is TBD on the Magnums. Not with the two rolling down the line on Thursday. Where did you hear the TBD info?

Even though the DCX website shows the kicker available, my dealer has been unable to add it.

I called my dealer after reading rt’s message. He was able to add the Kicker option to my order- so it is available in their system. Not sure why your dealer can't do it. (Yes, my order was reprinted and I could see the R5 option now included) Thanks for the heads up rt4!

cbutler.... your order date has nothing to do with when your car gets built. It's all about the dealer, and their individual allocation.
Sold orders used to get priority..... so the dealers made "fake" sold orders to get more of the hot product, so that priority was taken away. With a VIN, you should already hvae an estimated ship date. Good luck.

Others..... "the system" is still showing Kicker as being TBD for Magnums, but it is entirely possible that the system and the factory are out of sync, OR, that a few lucky Magnum SRT8 orders were built as a "test", while as a whole, Magnum Kickers are still TBD. Pure speculation, we'll see what "the system" says on Monday.

For whatever reason I think they are slowly ramping up the Kicker systems, I do know that one of the Kicker Magnums built Thursday is heading to a dealer in Columbia, IL. Interesting that every single Magnum SRT built so far, that I am aware of, have been the Brilliant Black color.
