Hey Rob, here's your window sticker

Just a little transport info for you and Vash.............

Rob your truck will ride a traincar to Wentsville, MO trainyard, then take a truck ride to Dealer in down town St Louis about 30 miles away.
Vash, if your truck is going to a Dealer in OK area, then your truck should leave Dearborn by ground transport Via a car hauler to KC MO (trainyard) Then it should get put on a Sierra Mountain Transport to your OK dealer.

Thanks for the info as always, Randy. I'm actually picking my truck up from Overland Park, KS. Couldn't find any good deals in OK. Guess that means my truck should go straight to Kansas City and/or Overland Park since they are so close.

Here's my latest status:

In Production - Sent to Plant Ford Dearborn Assembly, MI May-02-2011

Previous status history in sig.

Cool, whatever that means??? These status reports and codes are kind of archaic. I guess they aren't really meant for the consumer.

Maybe Randy (HARLEY6LF250SDU) will chime in, but my guess is as follows:

1. The order was sent to the Dearborn Truck Plant for the start of the build process on 02 MAY 2011. Parts allocated and any pre-assembly perhaps?

2. My truck was produced on the assembly line on its scheduled build day of 09 MAY 2011 and the status hasn't updated further since it isn't yet Thursday which appears to be when the majority of orders are updated in the vehicle visibility system.

Well, either that or the assembly line is running REALLY slow (MAY 2nd to now).

I thought I read somewhere that it takes about 18hrs for Ford to build a vehicle from start to finish.

Rob your full build cycle. Your truck should be built tomorrow Wed 5/11 and on a taincar by Thru/Fri ??

Called SVT this AM. Current status is Produced - Awaiting Shipment.

Update: Spoke to Ford Customer Care this AM (12 MAY 2011) and they said that as of last night the status was updated. The delivery ETA has been changed from 16 MAY 2011 to 27 MAY 2011. Later that I'd hoped, but any update is better than nothing.

Update: My dealer clarified the status.

Awaiting Shipment Origin Received - (Jack Cooper Transport Co Inc ) Ramp 59, Dearborn Truck, MI May-11-2011, 14:51 ET May-27-2011

Just drove my Raptor home from Kansas today. Pics later, but for all those people that said the long wait was worth it. It was! Dealership staff was great and no surprises. They also obeyed my requests to leave the front license plate bracket off and to not add any dealer stickers or decals.

Cool Vash. Enjoy.

If you're up to it, I'll be at C&G today and would love to check out the new ride Vash.
