Yes, I agree the dealerships need the training.
I guess if someone has an issue in the first 50 miles a tech needs to know how to resolve it.

Trust me, its much more than 50 miles. Its usually anything and everything while its under warranty, then we never see them again.

Assuming that number hasn't changed much, I sure hope this training project is near completion otherwise we’re going to be waiting even longer depending on how many trucks/trainer techs were dispatched.

When I had my 6.0L at Montgomery Ford, AL (Stivers now) 3-4 weeks ago they brought a 6.7L truck there then and did training. So unless they're visiting every mom and pop dealer in every little town I'm sure they're wrapping it up. As far south as I am this has gotta be some of the last places they're hitting.

I saw a 2011 crew cab this morning in our area in the opposite lane.
It was a brief view but the new grill was easy to spot.
It already passed me before I could check the door for the 6.7L badge.

Being Easter Sunday morning, I would guess it wasn't a trainer truck because the two dealers here were not open and we're 40 miles from an interstate plus I know the trainer truck was in the area two weeks ago (around March 19th). Maybe this is a good sign.
