my truck built on Feb 29 shipped March 7, I had a factory spray in bed liner that delayed shipment for me. my truck arrived in Vancouver by train today, now truck transport takes over. Have your dealer run a vehicle visibility report (good example of one on page 182 of this thread)

Very quickly I my case, a couple days from build to release date. I had no spray in bed liner, which at times seems to cause possible delay.

Finalized DORA yesterday... Is it here yet!? (Can't wait) Lariat 4x4 157" Ruby Red -- The build was kinda weird so nobody had one (No running boards, only 501A, 3.55's, FX4)

No spray in bed liner (getting LineX done after delivery) so that shouldn't hold me up...

How long does it take for the Window Sticker and ETIS sites to display information on a build?

I ordered on 2/22, received VIN on 2/26. Learned from Chad-Ford Service it is scheduled to build on 3/21 and dealer has been given an ETA of 3/28

But putting in the VIN to the two sites, I don't get anything.

Congrats on your truck arriving! I ordered my Lariat the same day you did and mine was built 2 days after yours. I am still waiting and I am in the US not Canada. I did order the spray in bed liner which folks say can cause some delay. Dealer says estimated delivery is 03/21 so it should be right around the corner and 6 weeks is a good average I guess. Once built and ETIS updates, the consumer has no mechanism to track the vehicle delivery on our own. That is unfortunate.

If its coming by train, you can ask your dealer to run a visibility report, get the train car number and follow the instructions on the train tracking thread. Worked awesome for me

Thanks, my window sticker says Convoy so I think that is truck. My delivery hopefully is so close that I am just going to try and be patient.

Mine says convoy also. I think they all say that. That is just part of the delivery system. Mine is on a train and than going to be trucked to the dealer.
