Talking Finally got a Build Date

At last, at last. Ordered 7/24. Heard nothing at all from my dealer until mid August when the order was finally pulled by Ford. Then nada until today. I took my F250 in to the Quicklane for an oil change and walked around to the sales side (which was still closed) to check out their SD inventory. As I was about to walk back to service, my salesperson was just getting in and came over to chat. Took me inside and I've got a build date of this next week! With a delivery of 9/22-9/28. She printed out my window sticker for me, which makes me smile every time I look at it. I feel like it's been a year.

Hopefully smooth as silk. Congrats on the build! I'm lucky to live in Indy, so the delivery will be by convoy and is pretty quick once it's ready. I hope...

I live 150 miles south of you... 2 hours from the KTP and I thought my truck would be delivered by convoy also... they shipped it to Chicago by rail and then by convoy south... never could figure that one....

Oh my word....that sucks. I was given a date range for arrival of 9/22 to 9/28. I'm really, really hoping for earlier as I leave on 9/28 to go visit the 'rents for the first time in over a year. It's a 450 mile drive each way. If I can't get it before I leave, I may not be able to pick it up until 2 weeks later due to work scheduling. Man, that would suck.

Similar story, purchased 7/22 and nothing for weeks, dealer started making calls and voila priority goes from 11 to 1 which takes action above the dealer. Got my vin on 8/17
Window Sticker on 8/31 and truck is being built today 9/9. Waiting for ETIS to show. Good luck with your truck.

You too! I've tried to be as patient as possible, but man it's hard.
