Oldguy1946, I was very close to purchasing my Lariat with Lightning Blue sport package. May have if I was still up around the Lawrence/KC area.

...and I thought I was insane. You are mad, Sir, mad I say! There's a huge new vehicle depot in Vancouver on Annacis Island. I assume it will be going there, but who knows? That may be for imports from overseas. I dunno.

So, I've been following the VIN of a truck that is 2 numbers different from mine and is destined to a dealership in a nearby town. Yesterday it's status on palsapp.com showed as dispatched. When it has been dispatched, then a trip number shows up on palsapp.com. If you enter that trip number in to the same search bar, it gives the information for all vehicles shipped on that truck.
I then took that trip number and increased the last digit by one. Low an behold, the list of vehicles included in that trip number included mine!
Today that trip number shows as having been dispatched! I'll be stopping by my dealer this afternoon to confirm it is there!
(Also, that other truck with the really close VIN has been delivered today to the nearby dealership.)
You are right. I don't know how you ever figured it out. So...... prove it again and find mine....hahaha.

I hope you get it soon. My dealer really seems to think mine will be there this week. She said all the trucks from KC come via truck and no rail. You wouldn't think KC to Oklahoma would take that long.

Mines a loaded Magnetic Lariat Scab, 4x4, 6.5, 5.0, sport package. Traded in a sterling gray metallic 2011 Screw FX4 ecoboost. Retired and don't need the big back seat but I do need the 6.5 bed.

Well, on Cotus yours doesn't show that the "Awaiting Shipment" has a "Completed On" date filled in, and on palsapp.com the shipping number for the shipment leaving the factory is still "pending," so my guess is that yours is still sitting at KCAP. For your sake, I hope I'm wrong!

I just noticed something else on palsapp.com that we should ALL be looking for. If you enter VIN: 1FTEW1EP1JFA23740, and open the delivery receipt, you will notice on it the notation "Inspector's Comments: mark under clear coat on F150 #JFA23740."
The shipper no doubt marks this at some point to try to limit, or allocate, liability. It would be good information for us to know too!

I’m going to try your method, but where do you search by trip number? I see vin and freight, but not an option for trip.

You put the trip number (or VIN or freight bill) number right in to the search bar, top right, at palsapp.com.

Mine's delivered! (Palsapp.com shows it delivered, Cotus still shows an estimated delivery of 10/6).
When I leave work, I'll go check on her.

Wow, that's quite a difference in dates! Let's hope it really is yours!
