I'm wondering if we havent received our trucks because of where we live? (Maybe delays are simply waiting to fill rail cars to save money on shipping) For those of you who have received your trucks what states are you in? Same questin for those who haven't received them yet. I,ll start it off....built 10/26 Live in Florida.
Mine built 11/10, shipped 11/11 (rail) arrived at the dealership Friday 11/20 Northern California delivered Sat.
Been following this thread since inception. Ordered a Lariat supercab on 9/9, built on 10/17 in Dearborn and getting the same run-around as most here. Ford CS can't get any information and the dealer can't either. Truck had an 11/4 ETA and is still in Ford's system as "ETA 11/4, Update Pending".
Sold my 2003 F-150 back in August. Never would have imagined 3 weeks after delivery ETA it would still be in MI and no idea of when it will ship. For a long-time Ford guy, this is really discouraging.
10/27 build???? That's even early than the 26th club people. Wow. I ordered mine probably earlier than anyone else I have seen so far and still waiting. The XLTs seem to be getting shipped. The higher trim models....not so much. I am guessing the issue is with something the higher trim models have so probably electronic????

10/27 build, Oklahoma, window sticker says "Convoy". Doesn't take that many cars to fill a semi up. Wish someone who worked at Dearborn would give us some intel.

No kidding. I thought it was a distance thing too until I saw that Coaster's was delivered to CA a few days ago. Mine is still waiting to ship.

Coaster60 has us all blown away. Built 11/10 and delivered 11/20. Wow!!! His is a fully loaded platinum with every option that could possibly cause a delay. Coaster, what's your bottom price? Don't worry about delivery. I'll come get it. Insurance, maintenance, fuel, etc, it all adds up. Do you really want to dump all that money into an item that depreciates so quickly. Now is the BEST time to sell.

Not sure how much the extended range tank plays into the equation. It won't save you 1 refill on your 10+ hour, 750 mile trip home. 2 tanks will be needed.
In round numbers a standard fuel tank will yield 500 miles while the extended tank yields 700 miles. (2.7L eco)
Assuming (optimistically) that I keep the truck for 3 years (like my current '13 Lariat that I will soon trade in), the standard tank will need to be filled 72 times while the extended tanks gets filled 52 times. Netting a difference of 20 fillings. The extended tank costs $400 as a stand alone upgrade. Each of the 20 fewer fillings will cost $20. Or to look at it from another perspective, each of the 52 times the extended range tank is filled, it will cost an extra $7.50 (nearly 4 gallons of gas) for the convenience. Or, from yet another perspective, by using the standard tank, each gallon of gas purchased will have a $.29 DISCOUNT PER GALLON. That about a 15% savings on gas over 36,000 miles!
If I were to keep the truck for 72,000 miles, each of the 104 fillings would cost me $3.75 (nearly 2 gallons of gas) extra.
With the very few miles you drive, each refill may well cost you $20 - $25 extra.
dude, you need to get a life, and learn some basic arithmetic....
Just got an update from my dealer that the status on my F150 has moved to "awaiting shipment". On one hand how can I turn down an item I have been waiting for for so long, already purchased bakflip and weathertech floormats for and on the other hand how can I continue to send enormous amount of money in Fords direction after being kept in the dark.

It's been 8 days after my build date and still no window sticker, what is the site the forum is using to look up the sticker? Could be trying the wrong place?
