i hear ya, this is why i ordered mine. i debated long and hard about getting the same white platinum as what my friend just bought, but i ended up ordering a lariat because i really don’t like the platinum white and painted bumpers. it sure does look good though

I have seen two on the road. Both were special orders. A KR came in but I have no clue who purchased that one. The dealership down here tried to get me to bite when I went in there asking some questions but I stuck with my dealer back home. Hell it didnt have running lights

Good for you man. I test drove one today. Dang I did not want to give the key back, but I want to order mine too. At least you're ahead of me.

I ordered an F-350 on 8/10 and it was built 10/17. Initially it had a delivery date of 11/7 and talking to chat yesterday that has been pushed to 11/27!! They say it is just waiting shipment - I had suspected it might be short some parts?
Is it usual to wait over a month for shipment to the Tacoma, WA area? I find the whole thing hard to believe. The 5th wheel dealer is going to start charging me rent.

Same thing happened to me. Built 10-24 with ETA 11-13. Now its still awaiting shipment with a new ETA of 11-26 to central TX. Absolutely ridiculous.

if everything goes smoothly and there are no delays, what is the "normal"/average time to get a window sticker after the vin is issued?
after window sticker to build?

It took about 30 days for mine to show up. I ordered a truck 2 times one month apart and it was the same on both orders.

Well, it's built...

I ordered a 350 Platinum White Platinum on 8-12. It was built on 11-4 and is now awaiting shipment. I have an ETA to CA of 11-20, hope holds.

its all over the place. anywhere from a couple weeks to over 2 months. you can check this link with the spreadsheet and you see everyone who put their truck on the spreadsheet.

I ordered on 10/15, i'm pretty sure it was picked up and given a vin on 10/20, but i didn't talk to my dealer until 10/25 and he gave me the vin.
i have an eta of 12/11.
so, if everything goes smoothly, i am guessing I should have a window sticker soon and hopefully a build before thanksgiving, they approx 2 week delivery time
