Can't wait...

I just ordered an 08 F-350 C/C DRW Lariat. I am looking for a time frame for delivery from other people that have ordered.

I ordered a KR '08 6.4 172"WB end of April. It's getting built next week with a delivery date of June 4 expected.

My first diesel, I can't wait.

I ordered my 08 KR F250 SRW on april 16 and got my build date on may 9th. I am told my build date will be may 29th with a delivery about two weeks later. All in all about two months. I also saw some posts that the DRW were taking longer to get. I think that trucks that deliver them are part of the delay. You can only fit one DRW on the car carrier. I recall someone posting that they were told 3 months for their F350 DRW that they just ordered a week or two ago.

Congrats on your order. It seems to me like SRW trucks are being delivered a bit quicker..and maybe its because of what was mentioned above.

I ordered on March 21, scheduled delivery was May 14. Truck is built, as of Wednesday it is still waiting to be assigned a rail car.

Some strike issues going on now with CP Rail too. I am gonna cry.

I LOVE this truck, it is very quiet both inside and out, very comfortable and great to drive!!! I have shown it to alot of people and they all really like it-how could they not?
I left the dealer and according to the lie o meter I started out getting 4.6 mpg, after driving it for two days it was up to 15.6 doing 65 on the hwy, it will only get better. I will be taking a 900 mile trip to Kentucky at the end of the week and will let everyone know how it did. Thanks again superdutyj4500 for the message, Mike

Mine is being built next week so I can only imagine how excited you are to finally get yours. I am interested to hear more about your fuel milage on your trip. Make sure you post it when you get back.
