I ordered on 8/22, dealer called me with VIN on 8/24. This morning the window sticker popped up and is showing a build date of 9/12. Assuming it's built on that day, it could realistically get here inside of a month if the transportation gods smile on me...

Maybe it's because all or nearly all of the demand has shifted from 2011 orders to 2012 orders? Also, maybe a lot of people backed out of their pending 2011 orders when the 2012 order bank came online?

I think it's partially because the dealer I ordered from still had allocation so I just got bumped to the front of the line. In general though, it looks like things run a lot faster as you get towards the end of production.

Mine took 6 weeks and everyone hated me last year. I hope you win my title.

I think I got you beat, I ordered less 2 weeks ago - build date is 9/14, should have by 9/27. WITH Navigation, black, loaded, crew cab. ...or perhaps we're neck and neck :)

And the race is on! Where are you located? I'm in Houston so I'm hoping for a fast transport time since I'm not out in the boondocks.

pretty much. apparently it goes through Canada to get here.. ridiculous. you have a direct line from Michigan to Texas.

I might have this one beat! I ordered on 8/22 as well. It built on 9/7 and is scheduled to be he here 9/19. Talked to my dealer yesterday and it was off the assembly line waiting to be put on a rail car to Texas. Cant wait!!
