Ordered my Lariat on 5.19.17, just moved into production today 6.27.17 but the window sticker is not yet visible. I am hoping it comes earlier than the 8.6.17 that is showing up now as I am only a 7 hour car ride from the KC plant.

I just want my truck as I'm impatient as all get out. Plus my '11 has a weeping water pump and I'm really not ambitious enough to change it.
I'm curious as to how the upgraded HP of the newer 5.0 as well as the weight reduction performs compared to my 11'

Looong wait
So COTUS shows my order date as 5/24 with a scheduled arrival date of 8/12.
I talked to the dealer last week, and apparently they get more up to date info than COTUS shows. He said he is showing a scheduled production date of 7/17, with delivery on 8/7. Just a few days different, but the point is that COTUS is apparently not terribly reliable.
Also, about a week after the order was placed, I decided I wanted to change the mirrors. The dealer called the factory rep and was told there was no guarantee that it could be changed. Wouldn't you think that with 6+ weeks from the date of the call to production time, they could make a little change like that?

If you already have a VIN number, chances are you already have a window sticker.

You might already have a window sticker, but Cotus' window sticker link has been down for several weeks. My truck is already shipped which I picked up last Friday and still there is no window sticker available on Cotus.

You are correct, from what I've seen COTUS is all over the place. I placed my order on 5/5 and it's been 'in processing' ever since. The status finally changed on 6/26 to 'in production'. My estimated delivery date of 8/14 hasn't changed though.

My truck arrived yesterday. Super happy with it!
For what its worth, the delivery date was spot on. Cotus never updated after the truck finished production, and the dealer called me even though I didn't think it had shipped yet. Just thought others might like to know how unreliable Cotus is.
