If you order tomorrow and add 9 weeks, it would be somewhere in July. 2018 F-150 final order due date is 8/03/18, so you have time. To be perfectly honest, the only reason I'm participating in this thread and the only reason I have my Lariat on order, is because I settled 3 years ago for my XLT. We spend enough time in our vehicles, so you might as well enjoy what you drive. That's my opinion. Settling and regret is one of the worst feelings to have everytime you drive a vehicle. Good luck with your decision and hope you enjoy the new truck when it comes in.
What about not having the Lariat gave you regrets?
What about not having the Lariat gave you regrets?
For me, it was a couple things:
1. I was too late to order a 2014 (in April 2015) and did not want a first year vehicle.
2. Really missed heated seats as I've had them in the past
3. General build quality was lacking in my XLT Supercab (one piece dash, rattles in the doors, etc.)
4. Convenience features (power fold mirrors, easy exit, lighted vanity mirrors, power sliding rear window, remote start)
5. Should have gotten a SuperCrew.
6. I could've afforded a Lariat, but chose not to.
7. Have always wanted a two tone.
I added some of those things after the fact, but it was never the same. Driving my father's truck (which is basically what I should have bought) always cemented that fact. It was odd for me stepping down from a loaded Focus ST to a mid level F-150, if that makes any sense. I really loved all the luxury/convenience features in my ST that the XLT just didn't have. I did, however, get a great motor (5.0) which I will be getting again. I was stuck with limited inventory at that time and needed a truck. I made no compromises this time and built my perfect truck. Lariat 502A, Supercrew 6.5' box, two tone, 5.0. Should look like this:

Mine has been in order processing for a week with an EDD of 6/12. As of today, it's coming up with "No matching vehicle found. Please verify your input and try again." Hope it's just a website issue right now......
Same for me, must be a website issue right now. Yesterday I saw all my info, could see my window sticker, but today I get the "no matching vehicles" message. Has to be some website issue because yesterday it worked fine.
I ordered a 2018 Raptor SuperCab on 4/20. The dealer ensured me that he had remaning allocations and that i was getting one of those allocations.
Since then, all I get on COTUS is "No matching vehicle found. Please verify your input and try again."
I have called Ford Performance who tell me that they see my order and it is listed as “unscheduled-clean”. But I have yet to get a VIN. I am starting to get nervous.
Should I be concerned or is this normal?
Some here have gotten a VIN real quick, mine took probably three weeks. If the order is just unscheduled, I think you are fine, the truck is just waiting to get on the schedule. You normally get the VIN when the truck gets put on the schedule.
I'm not sure how you are getting to the COTUS webpage, but I had trouble also. The google search link wouldn't work properly. Try going to it this way. http://www.cotus.ford.com/
Cotus couldn't find my vin when i tried searching, but when i entered in order #, dealer code, and last name, it pulled up my order. Issues with Cotus i guess. Still can't get any info on palsapp, just saying pending. According to cotus, my vehicle shipped over a week ago and should be delivered in 9 days.
