Just got an update from the dealer. Shows truck has been released from the plant, with an ETA the week of the 13th. If I remember right, showing as "released" means that it's physically left the plant, and is in the hands of the shipper, correct?

That is actually a good thing, it is getting moved to holding yard to await rail car loading!

So if i'm looking at this right, Brittany told me my build date is 4/13, that should mean that Cotus should change to In Production from In Order Processing on 4/6 which is 7 days prior to build.

Geez, this is BRUTAL! It gets worse the closer it gets. It's in town. Like 15 minutes from me at the rail yard!

From what I have read here and my experience, you first get a build week which is specified as the Monday of that week, and then as you get closer it becomes a exact date. Thus, just beware you might a date which really specifies the build week since it is a Monday. In my case, my build original date was 4/6 and then became 4/8 when I got closer to production. That being said, my truck moved into "production" on COTS on 4/1 which was exactly one week prior to the build date, and I got my windows sticker the next day, and the build date of 4/8 was on my sticker.

Lucas,

Sorry I had not posted this sooner, been a long day. Here is a picture of the ARE LSII tonneau/cover showing how the lines match those of the hood.

Default Current KC Plant Blend

Anyone here work at KC plant or know someone who does that and can provide info on the current KC blend. I have seen many posts by RoadPilot on the Dearborn Blend, but haven't seen any for KC? Trying to get feel of where they are relative to my build coming up on 4/8

COTUS showed 14 days left this morning. Just checked again and it shaved off 7 days. I hope ole COTUS holds true!
