My salesman just sent me this.

It looks like my truck was received by Southern Rail and awaiting to be loaded.

They load pretty fast so I expect sometime today or at least by tomorrow, she should have a rail car number and could even start moving south.

I noticed on the far right of this document, it has ETA listed. It had been showing 30 Sep all along as Costus has.

It is showing 23 Sep. I think Costus may drop a week off the estimate maybe. Dealer says estimate changed to the 23rd, so it shaved a week off.

ETA is between 17 and 23. Wont be long now...

Great to hear Mikester. Following yours closely as mine is just behind yours with the same dealer.

I didn't catch it but Cotus had already dropped the 7 days off of the estimate, so guess it is official across the board with dealer info and Cotus. Must be true then LOL!

I'm really getting excited now, started removing my bed cover and bed liner from my 15. I plan on using them on the 18.

That's grrreat! I already have my Husky floor liners and I'm heading across the border on Monday to Blaine WA to pick up my Bilstein 5100's, Dual Liner, and BakFlip MX4. Just need a truck to put it all in!

CurryBob

Doesn't sound like it will be long now for us! We will be busy working these new trucks as soon as they arrive. I'm also have it worked out to swap my Goodyear tires for Michelin's when it arrives (for a little booty of course).

I know my truck sure looks funny now. LOL

I have my dealer putting Toyo Open Country A/T2 275/70R18's on mine. Just can't leave well enough alone. I feel slightly stupid going with the LT tire package, but ... oh well. I can sell them.

CurryBob

New tires should be easy enough. I found a tire dealer near the Ford dealer willing to give a good credit on my stock tires towards the purchase of the Michelin's.

Mydealer got me a VIN today. I have never been able to find it in Cotususing the information from the Order Confirmation, but using the VIN it showsshe was built in KC last Saturday, September 2, 2017, so:
- ordered: July 17, 2017
- built: September 2, 2017 in KC
- currently awaiting shipment (convoy, per window sticker)
- no estimated delivery given yet


Theother vehicles on my dealer's lot (9) all come from Dearborn, and have all comeby rail. Their average time fromproduction to delivery has been 18 days, and from awaiting shipment to deliveryhas been 11 days.


Inthe next town there is one KC truck showing in their inventory that wasproduced August 23, 2017 and Cotus shows it as 14 days to delivery, which wouldbe 28 days from production to delivery. It is also to come by convoy.

Ihope I don’t have to wait 28 days for mine! (That is partly just because of my anxiety, and partly because we have atrip planned October 5, 2018!)

Can't wait for mine to show up either. Where in our great land are you? It's a big country! Mine has to get to Vancouver Island. Better than Tuktoyaktuk, I suppose.
