Yes, I think only your dealer can run that report. From what I hear it's a fairly new option for them. Your dealer should be able to run it.

Okay, cool. I'll give it a couple of day and ask. I just got my ETA this morning.

I think he is wanting the tracking part for while the vehicle is being transported to the dealer. His would already be on rail car or truck to have a 15 Jan delivery. That part I don't know myself.

CurryBob,

I just tried to log back in to COTUS for the 2nd time this morning and all my date fields were blank, so I assume both our truck status is being updated. Keep you fingers crossed and possibly we will end up with an earlier estimated delivery date.

I think the site is not working right now. Mine is hanging up half loaded.

This is too weird. I just tried to log back in to COTUS and it took me a couple of attempts, but at the bottom of my status page it had two large pictures of my truck from different angles, however, all the date fields were still blank.

Yep, it was messy when I did it also!

Found this dated 24 Dec 2014, too late for us I think.

"The retooling period includes the normal holiday shutdown that typically occurs at the plant. The Ford Transit side of the operation will be idled for the holidays until Jan. 5, but the F-150 retooling will require an additional 20 days of downtime.
When F-150 employees return on Jan. 26, Ford will immediately start running two shifts of production."

After looking at the dates, I hope Ford is referencing the KC plant and not Dearborn.
