I ordered a King Ranch 600A on 1/30/16 but I don't think the order went in until 2/12/16 (the date on the order sheet I received) and as of last Thursday it's still in "order processing". I've been wondering what the delay could be so I'm assuming it could either be the taillights or the 36-gallon tank. I've been given no explanation or theory by my dealer or Fordservice here. I wouldn't really mind if I knew a date of some sort - I don't want to wait forever either. But, the longer it takes the longer I get to hang onto my money.

I just got off the phone with my salesman about 15 minutes ago. I just got my VIN. It is on ETIS, but only limited data, and a build date of "30.11.0002" stated, which tells me it is not built yet.

I ordered mine on 2/22/16. The dealer gets updates every Tuesday, so that is probably when they put it in. This would have been 2/23.

It is a King Ranch, 5.0, 5.5 bed, 36 gal tank, and pretty much everything else that it is possible to have on it. Blue Jeans / Caribou with chrome pkg.

I was able to find the window sticker. Matter of fact, it is listed as dealer stock ordered when I searched the VIN. The blend number I have is 220160402. during my update last week, the salesman said the build week is supposed to be this week. My update today gives an ETA at the dealership of 4/15/16 - Tax Day. He said it could be a day or two on either side of that date.

I was never told of any issues or possible delays, and my order appears to be going along right on schedule thus far.

I am in central NJ. Shipping info on sticker states CONVOY and built in Dearborn.

You are lucky you have your window sticker because apparently, they are discontinuing the ability for people to see them on the ford direct website. I PMd Nick at Ford Service about my window sticker and this is his reply. I guess you can go to this website and "purchase" a window sticker. At least that what his message seems to indicate. I haven't tried it yet. Seems odd that now you have to pay money to see the window sticker for a $40K+ vehicle you're buying.

Here's his response

Hope you're doing well. I just checked on your F-150, and it's currently in the processing stage, has been scheduled to build the second week of April, and has an ETA of 4/30/16 (subject to change).

The window sticker link has been discontinued, so it won’t be available when it goes into production like others have before. We are still looking into this, but you can also purchase one at http://www.fordshowparts.com/store.cfm?store_id=1.

Have a great night!

Nick

PS.... I just went to the website above. You enter your VIN number, then they charge you $35. Then, IF the window sticker is available, they send it to you. I didn't go thru with it because I don't want to pay $35 for something that might not even be available. How absurd!

From what I understand, there just won't be any new stickers unless you pay for them. At least that's the impression I got from the Ford Service message. If true, that's the ultimate gouge.

I would just get my salesman to email it to me and print a copy for me, you already pay for it.
