Was it right in line with COTUS delivery date or early?

Sorry, cant say since i didn't use cotus at all. The delivery window was sep10 to 16 and i imagine cotus just shows the last date of the delivery window. So, whatever it tells you is the latest day of delivery unless something changes, which it does some times.
Here's mine.
Ordered July 7 and arrived Sep 13 after sitting at the Plant since it was build on Sep7th

Hi all. I've been following all the recent posts. Nice '18 Silver Ingot Platinum Beo-Chin....congrats! I generally don't like the silver Platinum badge across the back of the tailgates but it actually blends in and looks really good on your silver truck. I'll be painting mine to match my Magnetic body color.

My 2018 Platinum Magnetic Screw just moved from Order Processing to Production this morning! However, no dates show up other than estimated delivery date of 10/19 and my window sticker is not available yet. How long until the production date populates and the window sticker becomes available? My order date was 8/22/17.

I agree with you on it blending in nicely with the silver. Looks a bit out of place on the dark ones, especially black trucks.
As far as your sticker, you will have a bit of a wait till it's available, which is usually when the order to build is send to the plant. And that is about 1 week maximum before build date or as little as 3-4 days before.

COTUS can be slow to show your window sticker.
Try here if you haven't already done so. http://researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Number-Lookup/WindowSticker/Ford.html

Very good looking truck BeoChin. When do you get to take it home?
I believe it goes into "In Production" a week before its built sdemartino.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll share my dates as soon as they are available so others can gauge average wait time before the stages. It's torturous having to do all this waiting....but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Can't wait to drop off my '03 Tundra trade with a rusted out frame (that Toyota would do nothing about) and drive home in my new '18 F-150!

They are installing the wheel well liner and the mud flaps (live on a gravel road) today. Gonna go get it tomorrow morning.
Ordered Weather tech floor liners and have a window tinting appointment for the front doors at $ 40 each window at Ziebart. Then I'm off to order my new Cap or Topper as we call them in my neck of the woods. Going with Leer (180) for the first time. No more ARE's for this guy.
Here you can see how my order moved along and that it only shows " In production" once the order to build has been send to the plant.

I've been looking at other Ford dealerships on Vancouver Island that have some 2018s on the lot. Looking through their VINs, I found a few that were built in KC and using COTUS compared their "In Transit" dates to the "Delivered" dates. 21 days seems to be the norm, so I'm hoping mine shows up at the end of the month or first week of October, rather than Oct 21 which COTUS currently shows.
