Tracking Thread!! VIN's with Build Dates
My truck has been here for a little too long but because of complications between Ford and Dealer I took delivery yesterday! Definitely one Sweet truck.... On the Cotus and overall estimates from build to delivery they beat by a few days with no major issues. I thought it would make it here a lot quicker but by rail these trucks seem to move as bulk mail at times.
Order 7/31
Initial delivery 10/7
After Built delivery updated to 10/3
Actual Deliver to dealer ready to drive 10/4
My truck is a replacement for Lemon Law so it takes a little bit longer to get the approvals at first for the truck to be built. From that point on everything else is pretty much normal until delivery. In my case little negotiations/approvals between them took some time. At the end of the day as we almost always find out the Dealers get final say and if they are not happy nothing happens. Good news still got my truck but almost 3 weeks wait while it sat at Dealership.

Scab 4x4 Lariat
Ordered 6/22
Build Done 8/16
Shipped to Dealer in Central Oregon on 10/21 (no that is not a mistake)
10/21-24 Door alignment, debadging, steering alignment, tighten loose mirrors
Accepted 10/25
Although interesting to look at, the build tracking with Ford Tracking website should be viewed as giving general information only - in my case the dealer delivery time changed 7 times - so for others I would not get too focused on final delivery date(s). The dealer when prompted was able to give more specific info.
(not yelling cant figure out how to change font)

Wow, but that makes sense now with my order of a 2019 XLT RCSB 4x4 5.0. I ordered it on 10/19/18. Around 11/19 I got email that VIN is available but dealer wont see it vehicle delivered until 1/19/19. I guess build date will be around 12/19/18.
