Don't believe everything Cotus tells you! My truck was delivered to the dealership on Thursday early afternoon and I picked it up this afternoon. Cotus still shows In Transit....

My truck got delivered today!!! I went and looked at it and took some pics. When I got home the dealer emailed me to tell me it was there since she was not at work today. I had already looked/sat in it by that time lol. Should be able to pick it up Monday. I'll post pics later when I'm at home.

Nope and the only way I know to get it is through the dealer.

Ain't that the truth, I think they hit every rail yard in KY. 3 or 4 days there and I think only 24 hours in TN.

See above


Remember the dealer will not be able to see the rail car number until it actually gets loaded on the rail car. Just keep one them till that happens, then you won't need to bother them till she comes in.

There is an MDOT traffic cam at the freeway exit to my dealer I could watch all day long instead of COTUS.

I need more than a support group..... Maybe a Hollywood style rehab center?

Several on display, including a Tuxedo black Lariat Sport (alas a Screw not a Scab). All were open and readily accessible. Think I might ride over to the rail yard tomorrow, peek through the fence to see if I can pick mine out in the sea of new F-150s. I'll try to get a few pics. BTW Billy Currington put on a pretty good show. Not as good as Zac Brown on Thursday.

I didn't hear him play the dog song, but Uptown Funk was damn good, especially from Billy. You were right, it was a good show. Zac always puts on a good show. I saw him the first year he came when he did his version of Devil Went Down to Georgia. I regret missing him this year.

Cool to know they had the trucks accessible. Where is the rail car in Houston? My ETA is first part of April.

E Hardy Rd between FM 1960 and Richey Rd. You can see it from the Hardy Toll Rd. Should have heard Zac sing Bohemian Rhapsody. He nailed it!! Ok back on topic!
