The window sticker usually becomes available 6 to 7 days before the build date. I would keep checking every couple of weeks or so though, because my build date actually got bumped up a few days as the build date got closer. Mine took exactly 3 months and 3 days from the date I ordered until the day it arrived at the dealership which just so happened the same day I picked it up.

Either way, its nice knowing that your truck exists, at least in a computer at Ford.

Waiting stinks, but as many others have said, its worth the wait!
I love mine!

Lucky!! I put in my order about a month after you, January 25th. Still no word from my dealer about it being pulled yet.

I’m actually thinking about switching dealers to one a lot closer to me that is willing to sell ar MSRP too. The dealer I have an order with now is about 2 hours away from me and the dealer closer to me is 30 minutes away. Haven’t decided if I should or not now that I’m 3 weeks in.

Anyways, congrats! Almost there!

That will be a great looking truck. Magnetic offsets well with the black wheels.

Of course, without pics, we still suspect you actually ordered a prius or leaf.

:)

So hurry up and post up pics of your truck so we can dispel this myth.

That was about how long I expected it to take, but I ordered a week ago and got my VIN and build date today.

Got the delivery complete notification yesterday from the transport company...still no call from the dealership. I even emailed my salesman and told him i knew and when could i come in, and no reply yet. You would think they would be looking forward to at least calling me and telling me its in(I can wait if i need to)...it was a 4month wait and i'm spending 70K. Through this entire process, it seems like they might be thinkng they are doing me a favor...that will definitely change when i get the keys and let them know how the customer experience sucked ass. I do want to send a thank you to Ford Chat...once i had my VIN, they were always happy to assist me in a status...never got one email in 4 months from my dealer and when i did ask a question, they never had an answer. I would sometimes get a good status from Ford chat and then send him an email just to see if he would try and find the info i already knew, and he never knew anything...i mean, i was able to get info but he wasn't. I guess he knew he already made a sale, so why work. Well, i might come as an *******, but i will have a convo with him and his manager prior to walking out of the dealership with my truck. Most expensive car i ever bought and worst customer service from a dealership ever. Got it for MSRP, maybe thats why! Rant Over!
