Default Order Question

What is the usual amount of time from the order being placed by the dealer until the order can be viewed on the http://www.cotusb.ford.com/website?

God only knows. I ordered retail on 7/30 nothing yet. Ordered duplicate dealer stock on 9/2 - nothing yet. Depressing....

Ordered 8-10 as part of dealer stock. I check the site a few times a week using the VIN...nothing yet.

They are starting first production on monday the 22nd. My dealer told me that the f150 is the most sold vehicle in the world. That being said, even though they are produced early and loaded on train cars, they will sit on the yard at ford until the trucks are deemed "ready to be sold". What it means is that all dealers have to get some trucks and if one gets it before the others, it's not fair to the other dealers in the same regions as they're customers will go to the other dealer to get a truck earlier. So they build a large amount of trucks and then ship them so everyone can get some.

Makes sense a little....

When I enter my order number nothing comes up, but entering numbers in the same region, I see other vehicles that they ordered the same day. None of those were F-150s though, only Mustangs and F-250s.
