Amen SP.
I'm sorry to be a d*ck about it, but the fact that Ford Service and Ford Marketing's standard line is "be sure you check with your dealer as they'll have the most up-to-date information on the status of your truck" is BS.
My dealer has NO IDEA what's going on with my truck. None. Zero. Zilch.
I've gotten the same run around that SP has from them. I don't think it is intentional, per se, I honestly believe they simply don't have a clue and either can't or won't reach out to someone at Ford to ask the obvious question, which is, "WTF is up with this customer's truck and why has it been sitting at the plant for almost a month?"
At the rate they seem to be turning these orders around, I almost feel like I'd get my truck quicker if I just cancelled the order and placed it again...

Update from Chad. Mine is "in transit". Window sticker says RAIL. Going to bison ford in Montana from Dearborn.. Built 11/10/2015 according to etis. Must be something with the earlier builds? Or some common shipping line problem?

"I wanted to say hi and hope that you are doing well. I have some news for you on the order unit. The unit its it's final stage in the factory. Ford will not deliver the 2016 Ford F-150 pick up Truck units, until the first month of 2016 this is something that we don't have any control over. I will keep you posted but I can tell you that your truck will be one of the first delivered to Nevada. If you have any questions you can always call me or -------. I hope you are doing well."
Total bull****. There are 2 others in listed in inventory at another dealer, hell they even show a few xlt's on their own lot!!!
I blanked out the 2nd name because he is the manager and has actually been pretty good to me. I travel between here Phoenix and southern CA a lot so if I find another one I like then they can keep this order. I really hate the lies! At this point I may go drive the Ram Limited and see if I like it.

You are not being I d**k. I don't know about you but I hate being lied to. If they don't know WTF is going on I would rather have them tell that than lie to me. Check out this email I got today out of the blue from my dealer:

Unless the truck is on the dealer lot with a real picture (not a render) then it hasn't arrived, just allocated. Ford needs to develop a better system. These trucks are ALREADY SOLD, if there is a possibility of the truck arriving in 4 weeks, then they should. More money is better ford, do you not get that?

Whelp boys... wish my salesman/dealer luck. They are gonna hear from me tonight... and Im sending them HERE. They need to see that others are getting their trucks and that Ford isn't holding "everyone's" truck. After I told him that there were some '16 XLT's on the competitors lots he ACTUALLY said "Maybe Ford made them send them back". WTH. Anyways.... starting my email NOW. I appreciate everyone on here. I feel that without this group we would have paid too much, known to little and felt frustrated alone. Strength in numbers, right??!?!??!?
