I go back to my original assessment... I can track a FedEx or UPS package across continents, I can track a new BMW all the way from Germany to a container ship in the middle of the Atlantic and then down to North Carolina, but I get a truck shipped from 2 states away and no one knows where it is, come on, really?

Ok, enough gnashing of teeth... so I have a question... would you pay an extra $500 or $1,000 bucks for a full plant tour up in Dearborn if you got to watch your truck being assembled and then got to take delivery at the plant if Ford offered such a thing?

I would have paid, but I just heard from Chad that it is too late. The new truck is in transit!

His system won't update for mine. My dealer now says this week, but Chad still shows awaiting shipment.

Congrats on the upcoming truck!

Now that the 'friends and family' pricing is in effect.... I got 1k under invoice (before taxes 6.75% and tags) . Now it doesn't seem so sweet. And now I know dealers are making extra money on the back. Is this something to renegotiate?? What are people's thoughts???? Am I crazy???
