My still says in transit.
However, the count down is gone and the estimated delivery date is gone.
I'm beginning to think unless you are very close to the plant, they all go by train. I think mine is sitting in a train yard in Philly and CSX or the "local transport company" is just behind and hasn't gotten it out for local delivery.
If it doesn't update or change this evening, Im going to presume it will be delivered Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Kind of bummed, was hoping to have a new truck this weekend...

Here is an interesting article about how vehicles are transported from plant to dealer.
Gives some insight as to why there may be at times unforeseen delays...

Build date updated to 4/28. Getting excited!
Went down to the dealership to order some stuff for the truck. Got a trailer brake controller, husky xact front and back, husky rear wheel well liners, and a bed mat for $400. Really liking the parts department at the new dealer. He is going to see what he can do about getting some touchup paint from as close as possible to my build date, hopefully will match up better than the paint I got for my last truck.
