@Flatty
I'd call or visit your dealer. When i enter my VIN in either cotus site, it's says in red; vehicle info not available. My dealer (and yours) has the real deal info and live connections on his computer.

Good luck

I did. He just gave me the delivery dates and didn't have anything else at the time. It's really no big deal, just nice to know. Somewhere in the next 3-4 weeks likely.

Back two weeks ago, my dealers screen was saying Mar 6 for ETA, now it's down to Mar 1 for ETA. I'm not in a hurry anyways as the weather is crappy here. I want to bring it home on a salt free day if possible as this truck will not see any action until the nice weather anyways. Guess I ordered too early!

Top-Speed1, I am doing my best not to bug Friendly Ford more than once a week (Friday mornings). Friendly had me as Feb 27- Mar 5. Per Ford Chat though mine has moved up to March 1st from Mar 5th. We shall see...

I've been back twice since the order date. Once to iron out my add-on Retrax Pro Tonneau cover, at that time they gave me my VIN and original ETA.

And yesterday cuz I saw this beast out front when driving by....



^After entering and talking with Mike U., and I met the new proud owner of that truck who just got done signing his paperwork. He had it ordered from them with the lift and mods done prior to delivery. So, our dealer not only likes selling trucks, but they will get it to you the way you want!

As mentioned, he updated my ETA to Mar 1, not sure if we will be on the same hauler then or not?. On my Invoice, it states "Convoy" rather than Rail, so this is probably much quicker.

So you are having Friendly put a Retrax cover on? Mind if I ask what sort of pricing they were giving you? I had planned to add one after the fact but....

Etis updated to 2.15 for a build date for mine. The window sticker still says 2.13. I'm thinking the first pause on the sticker is when it's actually moving into production and the second pause will be when it's getting prepared to ship. Just a guess but it seems right.

I put it my deal originally, but as the Gator Trax branded one. It's what McGuire Ford was going to do for me if I dealt with them. I liked that Geneva matched their deal and I got to stay local. BTW- Your Canandaigua dealer (I'll hold back on publishing their name) was my highest quote of any dealer I rec'd. Nice guys though!

So, after seeing/hearing that the Retrax Pro MX was the exact same tonneau as the Gator Trax Pro, I changed to the Retrax Pro MX. Same price also, they had no issues with this either. The 8ft model is quite pricey, like $1950, the 6.5' model however is considerable less, like $15-1600.

I wouldn't worry much about getting it in later and "you" installing it either, lot's of youtube video's; all showing a very easy install. Price could drop also? never know.

After shopping ALL tonneau's for several weeks, I narrowed it down to this. Youtube video's and many user reviews are quite lengthy on these, and I must say... the Retrax Pro also scored (non-complaint wise) better than the rest.

We might have to give you the title "Incoming order projector expert!"
