OK, I'm back and slap wore out for I went fishing this morning at 5:30 and stayed up late last night, good thing I'm retired! LOL
When Cotus went to 0 days last night form the 4 days it had been showing all day, was apparently because the truck was delivered to the dealer in the late after noon (after hours). Truck driver must enter something showing that, which is pickup by Ford/Cotus.
Left this afternoon to go pick up the truck and my dealer was hurrying to TI the vehicle and swap the tires I had made a deal for, to get Michelin's and get credit for stock tires. They wanted to wait till Monday, I said "wwhhhaaaaaa"
they said ok this afternoon then.
When I got home Cotus had delivered showing of the 16th. I think when the dealer picks it up to inventory is when Cotus shows delivered, just guessing though.
Just so those of you soon to receive yours, you can compare and know what is happening.
Checked the truck from head to toe, inside, underneath and everywhere else. My wife thought I had lost my mind. I could not find anything and mean nothing, and I looked real real hard.
B&O Radio is defiantly an improvement. Has better surround sound and crisper sound but bass is just acceptable about the same as my 15. Notice a speaker behind the rear view mirror. My 15 didn't have that.
Love the truck!! and I even love the Kingsville seats in person. Photos don't do them justice. Needed something different anyway for the 18 is the exact same thing as my 15.
I wish the rest of you all as good an experience as mine was!

That stupid thing was off within 10 min of me getting home!
They put their website there with letter transfers, being on glass the ole razor blade took it off in 10 sec. Removed all the other dealer ads and build origin sticker on the front windshield. Never understood why there put that there.
I finished moving my old bed liner, bed cover and swing storage (fits the 2018s perfectly) over this afternoon and also had to swap out my 4X4 decal for my bass fishing one. Going to get the front windows tinted sometime this week. Doing it same as my old one, making it the same tint as the rear. Still have to cut the tail pipe off and then finished.
Also included a photo of the hitch limits label for any that were interested.
Thanks everyone for the wishes, hope you are will get to love you new babies soon and as much as I love this one.

Really nice Bob! Where'd you get the custom 4x4 sticker....I like it. Also, I think you said you were able to switch out the stock Hankook DynaPro tires with Michelins. Which Michelins did you get and did you get the dealer to do that or a third party tire shop?

This is the decal site http://www.aftershockdecals.com/
I got the Defender LTX M/S, it's an all season, don't ever do any off road driving so stuck with the less aggressive tread. Very quite, love it.

I would say your truck is either there or will be within hours. What is HDPP?

Cotus just moved BACK to WAITING SHIPMENT.....
The truck is still in Kansas....
I was able to talk with the people at Norfolk and they told me they sent a driver to pick up (?) the truck today and will ship as soon as possible....
From the 7 150s that were moved on the same cooper truck, only 3 shows up at the cooper site as no pending....
I'll call again by end of the day and see if the have an ETA for mine....
HDPP => Heavy Duty Payload Package....

Ok, afternoon update....
Called Norfolk again and another guy responded.
He said that the truck is at the up fitter (?) and that as soon as they are finished with that they will pick it up and ship it.
Now, on the 12 the truck was moved to the " mixing center" (?) and it seems that just today (based on the morning call) they moved it to the up fitter? Almost one week in queue?
What the up fitter does? Bedliner?
