I wonder how many people would do a factory pickup, given the opportuinity.
I would have gladly jumped a flight to Louisville and drive home the 12 or so hours. Heck, it would be in my garage right now if that was and option, instead of on a train.
I guess the problem is that you don't know when its going to be built, until its already built. Plus post-production options could take 1,2,3 or more days. You could not book a flight until Ford said "its ready". So then they would have to store them until you get there. If it was too popular it would be a big operation to manage. They would probably have to show you the truck and all its quirks and features like a good salesperson would do. Ok, i guess it may not be too practical.
I guess i'm talking myself out of it, damit.

I feel ya / hear ya on that...instead of make the direct 4 hour drive from KTP to St. Louis mine went up to Chicago by rail and is sitting in a rail yard up there. What is even more frustrating is seeing other trucks (DRWs) built on or after mine being delivered to dealers further than mine...arrrggg....some much of this is luck of the draw!

Yes, it left bound for Birmingham Alabama August 19th at 9 p.m. the next day it was bound for Manchester Georgia and left at 8 p.m. in the next day on the 21st it left for Baldwin Florida at 9 a.m. and arrived at 8 p.m. and has been there since.
I figured it will arrive at the Tampa Depot somewhere around midweek and take up to one more week to deliver to my dealer. Maybe more maybe less.

Try tracking on ford's website. Mine returns a system error. It appears this is kind of normal based on previous posts. It should return today..."Should"

Well crap, unless the tracking is screwed up, I have a stuck truck. Been “awaiting shipment” since the 18th, and now the trucks coming after me are shipping……. Two steps forward….. three back….. and I’m only a six day in transit estimate…. UGH!!!! Palsapp shows my VIN and an invoice number….. but “null” for destination and “pending” for status…..
