It has happened to several of us, be prepared to "patiently" continue waiting. I would contact your sales person and see if they can get with your local Ford rep and find out more. That is what I had to do when I was in the same situation last month. You will get it eventually, but COTUS will drive you mad in the mean time.

Mine is being loaded on the truck as we speak so it should be at the dealership this morning or afternoon. I should be able to take delivery of it this evening if it comes in at that time. Worst case scenario it will be there at the latest tomorrow. I will post pics when it hits the ground.

Tmangt650 Just curious, did changing the color push the delivery time back at all or are you saying it moved up right after you made the change?

I contemplated changing mine from Lead Foot to black. Dealer said they wouldn't know if it would change expected delivery date until the change was actually submitted. I decided to stay with my original choice

Mine got down to zero the week before last, went to "9" at around 11 PM that day, then arrived at the dealership 5 days later. Pick-up was a two-day process... especially if you find anything they need to fix before you'll accept it..

it says estimated delivery is tomorrow. since my dealership is in omaha and it is coming from kansas city it could conceivably be loaded on a truck and delivered the same day, so I am still hopeful, it is just difficult being patient because i have a trip scheduled to leave on 4-12 and I planned to take the new truck. hopefully it will get here in time. I want to at least drive it a few days before I head out on a cross country trip.

well, I think this is good news. I put the vin number in that jack cooper site yesterday and it came up Null. I just did it and it showed my VIN and the destination and said pending. so I am hopeful tomorrow will be the day it gets to the dealer.

Question... I just placed my order last week and my dealer is telling me there is no order number yet, won’t have one for 4 weeks or so. Is this correct? I’d like the number so I can plug it in to the tracker.

Thanks

I got my order number immediately after placing the order.

AFAIK the dealer assigns the order number when he places the order. At least that's the way it was when I ordered my truck.

it took about a week to get the vin. the truck won't show up in cotus until the vin is assigned afaik. so I would wait a week and call and ask about the vin. btw, Cotus just switched to in transit so my truck should be there tomorrow, 4 days earlier than originally predicted. feeling psyched. then they have to spray in the bed liner, but I should be rocking my new truck by the weekend. hopefully they will deliver it to me or I will have to see if I can talk my wife into going over to get it for me since I won't be able to leave town until monday.
