Just checked the ETIS site on a truck my dealer has on order. The window sticker shows a build date of 220111103 which is 11/03/11. This ETIS site shows a build date of 11/30. maybe ETIS site is generic and will show 11/30 for all November builds.

Do some dealers get their vehicles quicker than others?

Not to be a buzz kill but I read somewhere that Ford is once again experiencing F150 production delays for '12 models. I then found this info below on the Donlen website, www.donlen.com/production-trucks-ford.aspx
Looks like it's an estimated 14-16 weeks from order to get a 2012 F150. If you are in the western US or Canada it's an additional 1-3 weeks! Not sure if this info just applies to fleet orders or not (?)

Hmmm, I am not sure, but if that's true, we should not see any significant dealer stock before mid - end February as pre-ordered trucks are supposed to have a higher priority, normally.
You think that will happen? I'd think Ford and dealers would be in trouble.

I am pretty sure it has to with Thailand flooding and getting components.
