Mine's still there, March 10th. Feels like I'm living Groundhog Day though and that this date will never get here.

Stop hitting “refresh” on COTUS. You’ll feel better.

You can always keep visiting the dealer and taking test drives :-)

Dealer says I should have the VIN and build date within two weeks. He was thinking end of March for delivery. I think that's optimistic based on what I'm seeing and it'll probably be closer to mid April.

Which, honestly, is fine. The more time it takes the more cash I can throw at it and cut down the loan. Even if it showed up in March, the plan was for me to not take it until the April incentives start anyway. Plus that's one month less excise tax on a new truck.

If you just ordered it within the last 7-10 days no way will you see it in March. I ordered 12/18 was pulled 1/15 showing a March 21 delivery. You will shave 2 weeks or so off that time frame for the holiday shut down but not much more then that.

I paid the deposit on Friday, dealer placed the order first thing yesterday morning. I have the order number and the dealer code was on the build sheet he emailed me, but it hasn't shown up online yet. Based on what you said, it's looking like I'll be more like the week of the 9th of April, which is honestly perfect. I was hoping for mid April.

My truck has been In-Production for six days and has not moved to Awaiting Transit. I thought it only takes three days to build ?? My delivery date is still February 23, but my dealer says it actually February 27. My original order date was December 4.

Did you order a spray in bed liner? I've heard that can delay shipping because it's done off site.
