Timing is Everything!

On May 5, 2015, I ordered a 2015 Lariat Super Cab. After thinking about it, I changed my mind and ordered the same truck, but in a Super Crew. My dealer kept the order for the Super Cab in the system, as someone came in that day wanting one. Timing is everything! The Super Cab already has an ETA of 7/12/15 and my truck is still out in the either somewhere looking to be scheduled. I was hoping I would have it by the end of the July, but it's not looking good.

Don't forget to talk to Crystal (PM the account FordService) to get a better ETA.

If yours takes as long as mine, then maybe your ETA could advance to roughly 6/21/2015.

I created a thread where I am sharing how long it takes my vehicle order to go through the different stages. I'm hoping other folks will chime in and share their time tables so we can have some fun and see how predictable this is or how close the average time is for various types of truck orders and delivery locations.

If you look at the thread, I also put in the days where the status changed, including how the ETA moved up several times. Currently at 47 days from start to finish. Some things took surprisingly long (18 days to go from Order Processing to In Production) and some things happened so quickly (08 days to complete production and go into shipment).

My truck should actually be at the Dealership today (5/30), but they don't usually do Saturday drop offs in our area so I expect to see it Monday/Tuesday as the dealership needs a service tech to take an hour to do the inspection before they can release for sale.

I wouldn't be in too big of a hurry. I ordered my '12 and the dealer didn't get everything on it I requested so they had to reorder. In the time it took to get the second truck, there was an additional $1000 in rebates from Ford. Not saying that will happen in your case, but it was a silver lining for me.

Wow, thanks for the info, Flying Squirrel! The first truck is staying put at an ETA of 7/12. Mine is still coming back with nothing. I will PM Crystal on Monday, thanks again for the info, well appreciated. Good Luck this week!

I ordered my 2015 Supercrew Lariat on March 31 and it was delivered to my dealership on May 27, not quite two months from the day I ordered it.

I want to order a 2015 supercrew with a 6.5" bed, all the dealers tell me 6 weeks, but I am doubting that figure, any real world examples?

I'm seeing a decent number of SuperCrew 6.5's but maybe not in the configuration you are looking for. Most I find have seating for 5 which doesn't appeal to me.

I also ordered an Screw w/ 6.5' bed 2 days before you. Truck comes in tomorrow (48 days) vs. your ETA (59 days). Haven't they updated the ETA yet? Are you in shipping now or still in production?

COTUS "In Transit" stage as of May 12th (KC plant) with estimated delivery dates of June 14th, June 17th, and then remaining at June 16th for the last couple of weeks.

Good Morning All,

As I have become a COTUS Hostage and am addicted to checking it each day, I have two questions for anyone who can answer;

One is how often does it get updated?

Two, where is everyone seeing where their truck is built and all the good info that comes along with it?

Man, this wait is killing me.

Thanks!
