What do you think the chances are that the truck has been built and either sitting in waiting for shipping or has been shipped and just not updated on Cotus due to the plant downtime?

My order date was May 28
Out of Processing on June 24 (same as you)
Build date of July 2 based on window sticker (same as you)
Still sitting at "in production" as well
Estimated Delivery of August 16...

I am in Winnipeg too, much closer than BC. I really don't understand my delivery date and why it is so much later. I am also hoping that cotus is just not updated to "awaiting shipment" and therefore my delivery date is way off...long shot but here's to hoping!

My estimated delivery date moved up from 20 July to 16 July....Dealer says it could be here as early as the 14th.

Question for you experienced guys about ETIS and window stickers. I ordered my truck with the 3.55 EL axle. My window sticker shows 3.55 Electronic Lock RR axle. But when I look at ETIS under "Minor Features" it shows 3.55 and under it it says "Less Elect Locking Differential". Why is that? I went into the Ford build a vehicle site and I can't even build a 5.0L with a 3.55 Non-Limited Slip Axle so I'm sure the window sticker is accurate. Is ETIS not accurate at times?

Mine said the same thing in ETIS, but I have the 3.31 EL axle. I'd trust the window sticker and not worry about ETIS.

I also get this when getting on ETIS

If the VIN you have entered is correct, then the reason you are seeing this page is because OASIS® is not available at this time.
Please try again later or enter a different VIN.

From my experience there are a few variation of the cotus website floating around in this forum.

The only cotus website I had any success with is:

wwwqa.cotusa.ford.com

For what it is worth I just tried that one and it worked for me. I was not able to pull my truck up there but it may be because mine was delivered 3 weeks ago. Hope this helps!

The agony of failed attempts to track your new F150 will be worth every minute of waiting and wondering!

I am extremely pleased with my 2016 F150 Lariat!

Thanks but wwwqa.cotusa.ford.com takes me to a secure login site. If I take out the qa it takes me to the VIN input but then says the same error.

Oh well, I will keep waiting to get updated in agony

Everything is down when you plug in the VIN. The main page comes up but that is it. I have tried 3 different versions of COTUS web addresses
