I'm not sure what the start/end dates mean, but it is nice to see a Lariat sport build with a build date. Last I saw mine was scheduled for the first week of the year.

Lol. Mostly flat 46 miles each way at 70mph for about 3/4 of commute. Other 1/4 is la traffic. Mine is 2wd 2.7L though. I'm so happy I went with the 3.73. Prob would have went with 3.55 but 2.7l 2wd only can get 3.31 or 3.73 so wasn't much choice since I plan to get a 6500# trailer.

No issues at all so far. Love the truck. Drove it back Monday after running around Pheonix all weekend for my kids hockey games. Radar assist cruise is awesome!

Done so far:
Husky x-acts
Stubby antenna
Bedrug bedmate and tailgate mat
Removed the fx4 stickers
Mounted the radar detector on the rear view
Pro grip phone holder

Waiting on back ordered Icon stage 2
And Fuel Savage wheels / 285/65/20 KO2s

2016 platinum, ruby red, 701a, tech, fx4, bed liner, bed extender,

Hi 1atalbot, vegasrider, and L.T.,

I enjoyed helping you guys track your orders. Congratulations once again, and you know where to find me if you have any questions about your new rigs!

I'm looking forward to those pics once you bring it home, tnvolinal! It won't be too long now.

Further, why didn't Ford provide clear and concise reasons?

I'm not complaining given the 10/26 club's issues, just curious to see if we can determine the cause for the delay, especially since there are other trucks (same trim) built the same day which have been delivered.

Hey Pop-Display, Stans2000, and tgseaver,

I know you're anxious to get your new rigs too, and I want to see those pics! Delivery, however, is based on the plant's unique timelines and the number of options selected for your truck. Therefore, the time frame for delivery can vary greatly based on the order.

Please feel free to ask for regular updates; I'm always happy to provide what information I can.

Chad

According to Chad of Ford Customer Service, "I'm not at liberty to provide its precise location".

All he told me is that which he's been telling me:

"It's in transit"

Your dealer should be able to tell you where your truck is at. My dealer was able to track the rail car and they can track the trucking company too. At least my dealer did this for me in the past.

The dealer and Ford customer service is saying only that the truck is in transit.

Thats weird, my dealer was able to see the number of the rail car my wife's car was on and had the locations of the railcar while in transit. This was back in 2012 so maybe Ford changed things since then. I'll find out so I guess.
