So the update from the dealer is 12/15 SUB TO PLA 1FTFW1R68CFA64164, where I suspect the 1FTFW1R68CFA64164 is the VIN. However, I change the link for a window sticker and nothing found. Guess its still a wating game. What's the next statues that it moves to?

12 years ago I posted the following in the FAQ on TheDieselStop. Last I heard it was still good.
An order goes through the following status changes:
Unscheduled Clean. The dealer submitted a buildable order, so it goes into the stack of unfilled orders. It will stay in this stack until all parts and components are available at an assembly plant, and the dealer has an available allocation to build this order. (Allocation matters only when demand exceeds supply.)
Submitted to plant (SUB TO PLA) and scheduled for production: When a VIN is assigned and scheduled build week along with the estimated week of delivery (EWD, a.k.a. ETA) is transmitted to the dealer.
Locked in: When production is locked and NO changes can be made (normally 10 days to 2 weeks before scheduled date).
Bucked: All parts on line ready for frame to roll.
Built
Released from plant / released to convoy. When a vehicle is released to convoy that means it is built and has been released from the plant.
Convoy or rail car assignment: Dealer EWD normally updated at this time. If shipped by rail, you might be able to trace the progress of "your" rail car using the railroad's website.
If shipped by rail, arrival at the ramp (destination railhead)
If shipped by rail, Convoy (car-hauler truck) from ramp to dealer
The dealer sees it.
One recent change to the above is that now when the status changes to SUB TO PLA, the order is locked and the dealer can no longer change that order.
There can be many things that can cause these estimated dates to slide, such as weather or rail accidents blocking lines or strikes by various labor unions. Note that all dates on the status reports are the Monday of the estimated week of delivery, not an actual day.
Right now the ramp in Amarillo is swamped with undelivered vehicles because there are not enough truck drivers in this oil-boom area, so my F-150 will probably be delayed beyond the 26 December estimated week of delivery. Anyone need a job driving car-hauler trucks?

Truck listed (window sticker) at $59,199.00 Canada. Got the truck for $47,798.00
there was a $5K delivery allowance, and $1k Costco discount. The rest was dealer discount?
