The '15 from Gray Daniels Fleet. Much nicer than Watson. I bought my '04 from Grey Daniels, the '10 from Watson. Watson service made me feel like they were doing me a favor to work on my vehicle. The last time the service writer at Watson told me IF I made an appt., it would still be 2-3 days to even look at my truck. Needless to say I got it repaired at a local shop, Bullocks......1day (for the same thing it had already been into Watson 4 times, they said they could not find issue).

Anyway, congrats on the truck!!

I got the bulk of my information today:
Ordered: 2/14
VIN: 2/28
Build Date Obtained: 3/3
Build Date Estimated: 3/30
Delivery Estimate: 4/19 (California, so longer shipping time)
I too have the EB and Extended Tank, so it will be interesting to see if there are any further delays than this or if those delays are already factored in.

Here is my update from DTP:
To be honest the pics are kind of a letdown compared to the experience of touring the assembly line. It was a really cool tour that took us through the entire process. They were real sticklers about photography. They had people around every corner watching you. Well the guy in front of me tried to take a picture and was escorted out. In the outdoor pics, look across the street and you will see a whole parking lot of 2015s waiting shipment. 60% of all trucks are shipped via convoy. If you look to the left right over top of the building you can see some in action. They were performing suspension tests outdoors. Each truck gets 5 gallons of gas and a minimum of 1 hour of dedicated testing time. I also got a pic of once of the convoys that was leaving Dearborn.
People at the factory have not heard of a shortage of any ecoboost engines of any variety. When we were done with the tour, they were in the 7600's. Mine should have hit the line by now.

I was able to pull some strings and get a Priority 01. Ordered 1/29. It will be coming out of final assembly and off the line today (4 weeks and 6 days from order).

Must be built!
I couldn't help myself! Since my build date was yesterday I had to check COTUS this morning. My truck must have been completed sometime last night. COTUS went from "In Production" to "Delivered".
After production COTUS sometimes jumps to DELIVERED for a few days before it moves back to AWAITING SHIPMENT or IN TRANSIT. Don’t freak out,it just does that to boost sales of Xanex.
Thanks to this sticky and the COTUS info thread I knew not to freak out about the delivered status. I'm curious to see what happens to the ETA of 3/29 once it actually goes "to awaiting shipment" and "in transit." There is light at the end of the tunnel! Anybody wanna buy a really clean one owner 2008 FX2 Scab before I sell it to CARMAX??
Lariat Scab Sport, 3.5 e/b, Tuxedo black with black interior, 502a, moon roof, tow pkg., tailgate step

The dealer can't assign an order priority any lower than a priority 10. Only someone @ Ford (e.g., a regional rep) can assign 01-09.
I was able to pull some strings and get a Priority 01. Ordered 1/29. It will be coming out of final assembly and off the line today (4 weeks and 6 days from order).
