Ford chat. Once ETIS fully populates I do not think it changes. the very bottom date on the bottom of the window sticker (all the way at the bottom) updates occasionally but it has been shown not to mean anything.

Some lucky people can get COTUS to work for them. This is a beta program so only some of the trucks show up there. if you want to try it go to wwwqa.cotus.ford.com and enter your VIN. It doesn't work for me so I use Ford Chat. Now that it is in transit I'll wait until sometime next week to check again.

 

I was told directly by Ford... Job 2 trucks started on 2/20. My assumption is any truck built 2/20 or after is a Job 2 truck. Mine was built on 2/22... ETIS doesn't show which job it is, but Ford assured me it is a Job 2.

As long as the train it's riding in wasn't hit by tornados and hail I should see it in the next couple of weeks.

 

My dealer called today, and my truck was delivered. Ran up and snuck in the delivery yard and snapped a pic. Got caught so had to leave. My truck started build process on 2/17 but paused till 2/20 so mine should be a job 2. I looked and i only have a 2 1/2" hitch. I will look closer when the dealer has it prepped. Will update spreadsheet tonight

 

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! If that is the case (2 1/2" Hitch) then you are the first on this thread to post a pic. of a Job 2 Truck.....and she's a BEAUT!! Congrats...WOOT WOOT!!

Update: Just checked ETIS and your build date is 2/20/2017.........We now have confirmation that all trucks built as of 2/20/2017 are Job 2

 

Thanks
I will try and get some pics of the changes tomorrow or the next day and post.

 

The gas trucks never received the 3" hitch to begin with unless it was a DRW. Still praying I get a 3" hitch....

My truck just hit the ATL hub today. Hopefully the dealer will have it Friday or Saturday.

 

Got ya, didnt know what my truck would come with. I dont plan on towing conventional heavy anyway. 5er heavy for sure. I will see how it does on Monday.

 

Thanks for the info! COTUS doesn't do squat for me but my ETIS page finally filled all the way in. Talked to Ford Chat this morning and it is currently listed as "in transit" Yippeee!!!!!! Chat said they couldn't provide the rail company or rail car info so I will bug my dealer for it unless someone has a better way to get it.


it almost feels real....

 

Here is my sequence: Order date 1/24, processed 2/14, production 2/22, awaiting shipment 2/23 AND the best part....delivered to dealer 3/2. This according to COTUS anyway. Dealer is trying to confirm.

Now I need to hurry up and get all the extras, OEM flairs, splash guards and wheel liners, already have the B&W turnover gooseneck set up and the Amp Research steps. I wasn't expecting it until late month.

 

Ok, I spoke with my dealer...well the salesman any way. "Manager just checked and the frame or the axle are on back order. I will have him call our ford rep."

Has anybody heard about any constraints on the F450?

It does seem like there are with 2009kr's job 1 truck just delivered last week and his job 2 truck with an ETA of 3/3.

 

Mine said 4.30 axle on backorder when I ordered as well. Someone noted that the F450s always say that for some reason.

 

Just found out from dealer today that my ETA moved from 3/21 to 3/16. Sounds like others are getting their ETA's bumped up also.

 

I think w-dans truck was started on 2/17... Maybe his is a Job 1.5?

Beautiful truck Dan... Congrats.

 

Good 1 lol. I like it.
Thanks

 

Yup...I jumped the gun. We are still waiting for visual confirmation of a Job 2 truck. Bummer....But.....I'll bet Dan is still smiling ear to ear on his Job 1 truck and isn't missing those USB ports one bit. Meanwhile.......The rest of us are checking COTUS/ETIS/VIN/Chat/Dealer like kids on Xmas Eve. They should start rolling in anytime now. It looks like there might be one confirmed in one of the above posts. Hopefully pics soon!
