My original delivery date of 11/19 came and went. The truck didn't even get released to ship until 11/17 but has had no update per Chad as of yesterday. My dealer emailed and said the truck has left and is on its way. This afternoon was the first update in a few weeks. The new delivery date is 11/30 or sooner, he said. Fingers crossed, going to be a long weekend.
It is pretty discouraging that all these trucks were held for parts and no updates. But at least you got a real update Shawn. Then when parts came in, they started using most/all of them on the new trucks coming down the line rather than complete the ones that were waiting on parts. Ridiculous. Happy for the guys on here that have your new trucks already, don't get me wrong, but disappointed for the rest of us.

Whenever I try to enter VIN on COTUS it can't find, Please help
Now the other topic I would like to talk about is the 26K plus trucks with "issues" I think the assembly line is spitting out good trucks I can't believe there are all these trucks coming off the line and going to graveyard for parts to be installed whenever, I would think the number would just get worse. So here is what I think a great resolution would be, we are only really dealing with the number of trucks that are special ordered and if Ford would do the right thing and put parts or fix those trucks first then we would stop bitchin at them. The dealers can wait for inventory, we can not. The other option is and what I'm checking on with my dealer and Rep is to just order another one, at least you should now see it built and shipped instead of put in the graveyard.

Im sure this is nothing that can be predicted. Faulty parts or suppler shortage is usually an issue that is abrupt (IMO). My interior is black and the Lariat Leather... which may explain why XLT's and such are coming out too.. Platinum seats are different as well. I have yet to see a Lariat on the lots by me. Lets just hope this gets resolved quickly.
More on the way, they claim.

Autonation in Marietta, GA has at least 2 '16 Lariats with 502A on their lot.
More on the way, they claim.

OK guys (and gals that are also on here with me!) I just got official word from my Sales Manager. He said that his Ford Rep finally responded via email and said that there are 26,658 trucks on hold right now due to supplier and quality issues. He mentioned contour seats and missing seats. He has no ETA but they are working to get to the trucks they had to pass through the line. I asked about the trucks that are being built after and being delivered and he said that if there is a "missing" part... the truck still goes down the line and gets put on 'hold' until they go back to it with the pieces it is missing. He has no ETA BUT the dealership has on order and exact truck to mine that they are trying to push up to priority one. Apparently the Owner (who has 5 LARGE dealerships here outside of Cleveland) is involved and he sent a "not so nice" email to the rep.
Not what we wanted to hear.... but it confirms information which we all thought. That said, this is what I wanted/needed, an answer. While I am sad its not here & anxious to take delivery... I understand that **** happens and I would rather the truck be correct than have to deal with getting little things fixed by the dealership.
Sorry Guys.
