You can call ford customer service every week (Fridays from what I remember as I think they get updates every Thursday night...) for a status. Your dealer can also look it up for a current status.

Since you have a VIN, they should've provided an ETA as well.

Thanks

Ford Vehicle Build Tracking - F150online Forums

Use this link to the F150 online forums. Register, then start a new thread. This guy (or gal) will give you daily updates on the progress of your build, right down to the train car that its loaded on after it leaves the factory. All you need to do is start a thread with your VIN.

Would anyone by chance have any pics of a 2013 King Ranch F350 or F250?
Thanks

I found this video on youtube of the exact truck I ordered except for the diesel engine. Makes it even harder to wait for delivery.

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner.

Go to this site:New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews | Cars.com

You can search F-250s and 350s. They've got thousands of Super Duty trucks on there and a lot of King Ranch models with lots of pictures.

Thumbs up Congrats!

I've seen too many people wait a month or 2 only to find out the dealer screwed up and you're stuck with a truck missing an option or reordering.

^^^ Ditto ^^^ Don't ask how I know. Yup...happened to me twice!

The first truck I ordered...it was missing a preferred package. Didn't take delivery of it. Yeah...the order was incorrect...but it was also how the dealer handled the mishap. Was not impressed! OBTW: That truck sold within 5 business days.

Went to a different dealer...ordered another truck (all the same equipment)...only difference was color. Looked over the DORA...and still missed the Upfitter switches! Still took delivery...because that is an easy fix, but it can happen. I think I was so excited...

Congrats on your order! These are GREAT trucks...and I'm sure you'll become a 6.2L believer in short order.

Options above the KR package include the camper package, 4.30 rearend, cab lights, spray in bed liner, chrome steps and upfitter switches. Should be delivered in 6 to 8 weeks.
I sure hope I wont miss my 6.4 diesel power. I do look forward to less maintenance and fuel costs and I definitely wont miss the Regens.
Truck has finally arrived. Will be picking it uo tomorrow morning.
Sure hope i am happy with it.
