Well, good for them. Only one extra week to wait. Just glad mine isn't starting the day before shutdown.

I sure hope they will still be shipping trucks out of there the next 2 weeks. I'm more of an instant gratification kinda guy and this whole counting down the days until my truck arrives is a true test for me. Hell, I set my search parameters on eBay for a shorter distance from me because I hate to wait for ****!

I'm sure some branches are working next week, but the majority of the company is off.

Looks like my 01/06/17 ETA is pretty much impossible if that's the case.

Merry Christmas to you and the rest of Ford's workers. The guys at the bedliner place need a bag of coal for Christmas though!

I ordered mine with a bedliner with ETA of 10 Jan 2017. Is there a bedliner production issue? Any info is appreciated.

Mine was on hold for over a month due to delays with the factory bed liner. The latest I heard they would be caught up by the end of the year. There is a long thread on this forum about bed liner delays. Find it and it should have the latest info
