Create a free user account in ETIS and log in. Click on vehicle lookup and enter VIN. Information shown under "Primary features" will be very basic with a generic build date that doesn't make sense. a few days after it is built, build date will display as DD.MM.YYYY or 16.02.2018 for February 16, 2018. After it is built, minor features will also display all features built into your truck. Have you received a window sticker? If not, copy this link and add your vin at the end: http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....icker.pdf?vin= At the bottom of the window sticker will be a date. My build date was 8 days after the date listed on the window sticker, and details showed in ETIS about 10-11 days after the sticker date. Hope that helps.

thanks. It showed up today but like in the other post, instead of crew cab it seems to say double cab. Several are complaining of the same thing. Window sticker had 2/9/18 on the bottom, Etis had build date 2/8/18?

Same her, my Sticker and order say crew...ETIS says double cab. Sounds like a common mix-up in ETIS, although I haven't heard of anyone who had a SuperCab delivered instead of a crew their dealer ordered.

Do you have a link to ETIS for signing up for this account? COTUS supposedly doesn't track 350's, so ETIS may be my best bet. Thx.

several people have mentioned that ETIS puts a jibberish date in until it’s actually scheduled.

Yup, mine had the exact same jibbersh date until the truck was actually built. Then it updated to 16.02.2018.

Congrats on the new truck order!

Good question! We are brand new to RV'ing and are actually about a month away from thing delivery of our first fifth wheel.

I've heard there are some great options down in Monterey, or up the coast a little bit north of Marin.

Good luck and if you find any neat spots, let me know!

will do. Congratulations on the fiver. What you get. My wife an currently have a 2015 Open Range 311FLR. (GWR of 11900) and the ability to carry almost 1.5 ton of cargo. We Just love it. Perfect for an older couple. (No kids basically lol) Best of all it it gives you the option to haul via gooseneck or traditional fifth wheel. And it doesn’t void any warranty. That’s how I currently haul it as it frees the bed in 30 sec and I only have to lift the 3lb ball.

We've got an '18 Grand Design 28BH on order. GWR is 10,995 and should be fun for our family with two young boys!

I've been going back and forth between a couple of hitches. A traditional B&W Companion slider, an Andersen Ultimate Hitch, or the Reese Goosebox. All have their pros and cons. The Goosebox is probably the simplest, but with the shortbed, it could cause the nose to get uncomfortably close to the cab. I would love to have only the ball in the bed though!
