Update:
I have the "Window Sticker", looks to be at the Dealer on Sept 3rd give or take a few days, could even be mid-Sept.
Not bad as I ordered on June 30th.
Scheduled to be built next week.
My Dealer offered a decent trade-in $ for my 14F150 so if need be I have no issue in trading it in but still would rather sell outright.

Me Too
I too ordered a 2016 350 4.3 gears dually 4wd end of may. Have had Vin for several weeks now. Have been been told by Crystal for awhile now that 14 Aug is the estimated arrival date. Ford Etis tells me that it was actually built on the 27 of July. Have been looking at the window sticker online since it was available online. I cant really confirm build/ship or expected arrival by anything I can see on the sticker. Obviously at this point really just interested in arrival. The Cotus site has never found my truck. As of Monday the dealer finally had an update--"its on a train" don't know if it has moved from plant--but its on a train. What am I missing on the window sticker as far as deciphering information on shipping, arrival etc?
Christmas appears to be coming in August this year.

lol, loud and clear on the Cotus page. Mine is not there as well, never any info there, why keep it up if it doesn't work.
Crystal has been a super help in keeping me updated and I really appreciate it.

COTUS worked for me, but it wasn't that informative... preparing to build, building, built, waiting to ship, and then in-transit. (Crystal was much more helpful.)
I found that the wait got harder once I found out that the truck was actually being shipped. The train brought my truck about 150 miles away, but it sat for a week until they could schedule a special transporter truck. Apparently our trucks are too big for a standard car-carriers so the few truck carriers they have are very busy.
Felt like a kid waiting for Santa.

Umm. I'll continue to check in w/COTUS, maybe now that my F350 has the Window Sticker and is schedule to be made next week it may start showing some results. Crystal has been a big help, even better than my Dealer.
The Transporters they use here seem to be able to handle the Superduties fine as I see one or two on there all of the time.

A BIG YES ON CRYSTAL IS AWESOME
I wish I could have bought the truck from her
She deserves the commission more than
dealerThe ETIS page will show a build date when it comes off the line.

Hopefully, it's not the dealer holding things up. I realize you've already waited for 12 weeks, so what's a couple more days.. but 2 more days.....?

before i comment on this i own several trucks one has a 460, the other is a v-10, my powerstroke is 6.4 and i own a 6.0 as well, my new truck is a 350 dump truck with 6.2
the 6.2 pulls better than my v-10 and is close to my 6.0 power stroke!
to me the 6.2 feels like a refined 460. i am getting a avg of 10mpg with 430 gears which is par with 460 and better than my v-10.
I think you will be happy with a 6.2, i would expect 10mpg but it is a stout engine
