Tracking a F150 build??

So I'm heading to my dealer to order my Lariat. I've seen here that a lot of you that have ordered that you were able to track your build. What info do I need to get from my dealer to track my truck and what site do I go to in order to track it. Tks

The name it's ordered under
Then go to www.cotus

Excellent info, thanks. However, it didn't work for me so I'm betting it is just too early. My order should have gone in on 3/24/15, so it has only been 6 days. Is that too early?

Another possibility is the order number, which is hand-written and looks like FWIEK followed by a 3-digit number. But, it might be FW1EK or FWlEK. None of those work, but what is the format?

My order number is 7567 my dealer number is f48032. I placed the order on Tuesday 3/3 but the dealer sends orders in on Thursday. As a code 10. I believe by Friday night cotus was showing they had the order. The following week cotus showed my vin number and delivery date of 4/19. But nothing has changed since then. As next step is the week it will be built in. Which should be coming up soon. I live in SE Michigan so transit time should be quick.

So, when you put your order # in do you just put the character ahead of the numbers, or?

My order number was all numbers no letters my dealer number starts with the f.

Do you have a copy of your order?

I guess you have to keep trying everything you have to see if something works. I have to sometimes keep trying and I know what to put in,,, I think??

Need to put in your order #, dealer # and your last name. Ordered mine on 3/18 and the vin # showed up 2 days later. Today it moved from in order processing to in production. ETA is 5/3 but that sounds a little optimistic to me.

Got it. The full order number number is FWIEK322, but the system only wants the K322. And the truck is in "order processing".

2nd order info

Guys the dealer ordered my 2nd one on 3-25-15 because the first one was damaged by the porter. My order # is 7777 and my dealer code is 48F434. I to live in Southeastern Michigan and I am hoping that I get it soon because I have been waiting since 1-31-2015. From what I have learned from traking the first one once it goes into production the rest goes real quick.

When you say the porter, is that the guy that delivers it or what. What was the damage?

Porter Info

It is the person that they have clean the vehicle up before delivery. He put 4 big scratches in the paint on the front fender and above the rear wheel. The truck will need to be re-painted so I refused delivery and had them order a new one. Made me sick to see it.
