Good deal josh! keep us posted. I sat with my dealer on 11/19 got the call about delays a week later. Maybe ill be getting a call with a vin in the next few weeks. What was your time frame from when you sat down with your dealer?

Man, some of your guys' delivery dates have me worried. I ordered my 2016 f 150 screw lariat fx4 chrome package with all but 2 options in mid December. I've been told the build date is the last week of January and I should be getting it mid to late February. I do have my vin# already if that matters. But hope that I dont have to wait till April.. that would blow.

The online tracking system was relatively flawed when we went through this back in April/May. Maybe it's better now, but if you use it, be prepared for strangeness and conflicting information.

As soon as it has a build date, you should be able to get the VIN and be able to track it through the system. The VIN will also allow you to pull up the window sticker, which has the build date and other details encoded on it. It took less than 3 weeks from when we ordered ours to the time we had a VIN.

Which COTUS are you using? There are at least 3 of them that I've found, and they often supply different results.

I am using the standard cotus.ford.com. I know of COTUSB.ford.com and the cotusqa.ford.com as well.
My vin shows on ETIS, but limited info there until it's built.

Most of the time, they all came up with the same results, but sometimes they disagreed wildly.

Those are three that I know of. I assumed when I was using them that "cotus.ford.com" was the official one, "cotusB.ford.com" was some sort of Beta version, and "cotusQA.ford.com" was the QA version.
Most of the time, they all came up with the same results, but sometimes they disagreed wildly.

Real similar to our experience, except that our delivery was ~~ 6 June (and all the other dates shifted similarly).
