Hey shawnpepera,

I'm happy to help out. Have an awesome weekend!

Todd

 

are you sure the delay would be the same? was there a delay in sports package in 2015?

regardless I would still wait for 2017 model if there wont be any 2016 sports until next summer even if it meant waiting longer. I heard there was a 10-speed transmission option coming, or since I'd be waiting I'd take a closer look at a 2017 Raptor instead

 

Thanks to the very kind gentleman, Todd, filling in for Chad while he is out, I have my VIN number.... yet when I put it into COTUS, I get the following message: "A matching vehicle could not be determined. Please contact your dealer to get status updated about your order." Anyone else get that with theirs? I really don't want to bother the Ford Service guys on here every few days to get a status update, and asking my dealer is an exercise in futility. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Mine does the same, my dealer ordered as stock not as customer order, so that could be part of the issue.

I just ask the nice folks on here to help once or twice a week. I have a PM in to them now as I "think" my truck might be built.

 

I think that's normal for the first few days or so. I ordered mine 10/9, the dealer submitted the order 10/13 and I got a VIN yesterday 10/15. I get that same message in COTUS. According to the sticky https://www.f150forum.com/f118/order...lained-291912/

"After you have your Order# and Dealer#, you can track your order in COTUS. Sometimes it takes several days for a new order to show up. The ETA is only an estimate, read the footnote."

Hope this helps.

 

Not sure if it's just me or if COTUS is down but I've just got an error message several times....

"Error 500: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space"

I don't speak computer and have refreshed several times, lol. Anyway, must be the worlds way of telling me to relax. It'll be here when it gets here

 

typical java, chewing up all available memory

 

Same here and I ordered back on 9/15. Per Chad last week it was still in order processing and I don't want to bother them to often. Same problem with my dealer, usually it's ME providing THEM an update!

 

What does that mean? Is there anything I can do on my end to fix?

 

I too am tracking my new truck and sometimes if I try a few times it will pop up instead of the dreaded "matching vehicle could not be found". I can do it on my phone, desktop or laptop and still have to do it a few times before it comes up.
