I just tried the link again and it still works for me, however it looks like someone went through and deleted a lot of data (including mine) and put in random digits in some fields. Hopefully there is some sort of backup / restore ability.

Ordering timeframes really depend on the dealer. The dealer must have allocation first. If they have allocation, then the order should be picked up within the first couple weeks. Once it's been scheduled, the dealer should be able to provide you with a build week. We generally say 6-8 to cover our bases, but it can be sooner or later. I've seen orders come in 3 weeks and I've seen them take 3 months. Not that the Kansas City plant is up and running, order times should be reduced over the next few months.

Agreed on last post ordered 3/6 was picked up by ford system on 3/9 priority 10 and hoping to have vin this week according to dealer. I do want to know though once picked up I was told I can't change anything. Wanted to go to max tow and they said it can't be changed

Mine was ordered 3/10/2015, dealer told me yesterday that it was scheduled Wednesday night that it will be built the week of April 6th, and then 2 weeks to get it here. If that works out it will be great, but honestly i have a hard time believing its going to be built in 3.5 weeks after it was ordered and i dint even see it show up in COTUS yet. Time will tell i guess!

FWIW, the KC STAR paper said on Thursday, I believe it was that the Claycomo FORD Plant, would begin building the F-150 on Friday the 13th.

You posted the same thing last week.

Did you send a Private Message to Brittany with the information she asked for so she could help you out?

However, due to it being in beta, there are going to be glitches and delays; customers sometimes have problems with the system finding their orders, and the site does go down occasionally. That's when my inbox tends to reach max capacity!

It was intended as a tool for the dealers, but as we all know, that's not how things have turned out! It has become increasingly popular with customers as word of it gets around. I love tracking orders for everyone here, but I definitely understand the attention it gets. Please know that I'm here to check on your truck when COTUS is being fickle, all I'll need to get started is a PM with your VIN, or order number and dealer code if the VIN's not yet available.

I hope this helps a bit! Have a good one.

Brittany
