5 Month Wait!
Well, I ordered a 2018 F250 on 9/15; hoping to get in line early and get one of the first F250's off of the line. COTUS just posted my expected delivery date as 2/14/18 . . . . 5 MONTHs after ordering. I am sorely disappointed.

No, I didn't. Lariat, Supercab, gasser with 4.30's. Nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe there is a limited supply of something I ordered; like Adaptive Steering or BLISS.

When was the first update you got from COTUS? Any chance your dealer didn't order the truck back in September? I was disappointed to order on 11/14 and get a 2/14 delivery date. I know you are disappointed. Seems like either ford or you dealer could give you an explanation.

What priority number did your dealer assign you? Up to a point the dealers influence what priority trucks get built...If they other customers that they ranked higher, then when the plant looks at what to build they first look at what the dealer has specified...

I think dealer allocation has more to do with the timing next to material availability. I ordered an ‘18 KR CCSB 6.2 with a 19 priority code (which is the worst code for a retail order) on 11/09, scheduled 11/30 for a 12/19 build date.

CCSB is the most produced version so even with a worse priority, it wouldn't hurt you that much.

I sat with the dealer while we entered the order on 9/15. And COTUS shows a 9/15 order date.
Dealer entered a priority code of 12.
It's a small dealership so maybe their allocation isn't great?
Maybe the new Expedition/Navigator is an issue?

Expi/Nav isn't an issue. I know 2 people at the factory, the SD line is in full swing. They are different lines when being built.
