First post here. My 2016 XLT Screw 302a 6.5' FX4 3.5EB Max Tow Ext Fuel Tank on 4/25. I have the order #, dealer # and messed up name they put it under, but I keep getting no vehicle found in COTUS. Anybody have any tricks or ways around this?
Pretty stoked to be getting a new truck after 11 years and 65K miles on my 05 STX. Glad momma finally agreed it was time.
Thanks for the help.
Which cotus site are you using? try wwwqa.cotusa.ford.com
Ok, tried the website you gave me and that worked, really appreciate it. Has the VIN already.
Glad it worked for ya. FWIW that site has bugs all the time. Sometimes it wouldn't let me select 'VIN'. Other times the page loads text only. All you have to do is keep refreshing until it works normal.
Ordered my KR Mar 1 with the 600A. Didn't want the retractable step or blind spot or tailgate step and everything else that came in the 601A upgrade. After 9 weeks of nothing dealer finds out from ford in may be several more months and they may not even build them with the 600A. Odd, the 600A is standard equipment. Anyway I went to the 601A to get this thing built. I upgraded to 20" wheels that now come with the 601A and with the $1500 rebate it's only another $1300. Who knows, I might like the seat massagers. I'd love to see a build date soon. Dealer said their rep has me at the front of the line. Sure hope so!!
KR 157", white plat tri, 601A, 3.5EB, max tow, tow mirrors, FX4,
ext range tank, sunroof, wheel liners. Going with the Fold-A-Cover Tonneau.
New guy here, ordered my 2016 Blue Jeans Lariat SCREW with 5.0/502A/FX4 among other goodies on 25 April, got my VIN on 4 May, and according to COTUS it has a tentative completion date of 15 June! Needless to say, I am pretty stoked and looking forward to learning a lot about my new truck from you seasoned vets...the wait begins!!

Reason: add more info
I have enjoyed reading about all the others waiting for their trucks.
Dealer placed my order 4/4. Blend date per my window sticker was 5/4 and Cotus shows built on cinco de mayo. Cotus updated to awaiting shipment today and shows expected delivery 6/02.
Half way there. Can't wait to get my blue KR. Will it be here before Memorial Day??? I like to dream big. So far Cotus has been kind and it's coming from Dearborn. Wish me luck.
Was having a lot of issues with my 2012. EB misfire as well as timing chain issues. Since I'm running out of warranty soon I wanted to upgrade before it was too late. Spent a long time doing the research. Decided to pull the trigger a 2016 rather than take a chance on the first year of a new transmission and motor in 2017 (10 speed, and new diesel?).
Since I want this to be a long term truck (7+ yrs) I decided to go with a fully loaded Lariat to keep my tech side satisfied. Was tempted to go to Platinum but couldn't justify the extra few grand just for platinum badges and messaging seats. (Although my wife may disagree. she really loves those seats)
I really love Ford since I can get all the Luxury options and still get the Max Tow Package, Big Mirrors and LT tires. But I will be getting the extended warranty just in case they haven't ironed out the bugs in this engine.
Placed the order in on 4/18. (Unfortunatly, right after the 502A price increase)
Got the VIN on 4/29 and Cotus puts my delivery date at 6/13.
Coming from Kansas
