How long did this take after going into production. I just went into production this morning. They say to check out my new window sticker, but when I click on it, I get the eternal circle and nothing else.

Time for a break, off to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Hey, they have a Ford truck display there! So not cold turkey.

Lariat Scab Sport, 3.5 e/b, Tuxedo black with black interior, 502a, moon roof, tow pkg., tailgate step

You will be sadly disappointed as they keep those trucks under tight lock and key. Last year, you could only see from a rope that surrounded yet. I am going to see Billy tonight as well.

Ordered on 3/11, was told 8 weeks, however now I'm thinking that's unlikely

It will be 4 letters like TTGX and 6 numbers.

Will the rail car number show up on the vehicle visibility report?

That seems possible. I ordered on 2/23 and COTUS shows 4/13 as the ETA and my dealership thinks it will come in sooner. 8-9 weeks seems to be much more likely now than a few months ago.

And if your truck is coming south it will spend more time in Kentucky than you ever have… i'm really hoping ford doesn't come out with the 2016 model before mine reaches Tennessee!

I would assume they deliver vehicles by Truck to the UP of Michigan, not rail? Correct??

2015 F-150 S-Cab Lariat FX4 4x4 3.5L
-Blue Flame
-502A
-Sport Package
-Max Tow
-Moonroof
-20" Sport Rims
-36gal Fuel Tank
-Adaptive Cruise Control
-Trailer Tow Mirrors

One dealer told me 6 to 8 weeks and another one told me 10 to 12 weeks. Looks like it will be here in nine weeks. There's two sides to every story and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. Who would have thought you would ever find TRUTH between two car dealerships.

I ordered from a very small dealership up here, nothing like the mega dealers I've delt with in the past in lower Michigan. Great experience so far, and was told he only has 1 other truck on order at this time. So hoping there won't be any allocation issues or anything like that. But after reading many of these posts, I probably shouldn't hold my breath...
