Great News!

I went on the dreaded COTUS Site this morning and my truck is in Order Processing with an ETA of 8/2, not bad seeing I ordered it on 5/19. The question I have is how long does it usually take from Order Processing to Production? I found it interesting that it has an ETA, without showing any of the other steps. I am hoping things will start to move quickly now. Any insight would be well appreciated! Thanks!

Hey that's good to hear that you guys are moving along. I ordered on 4/24 and still have no real idea of when its going to be built. Did you by chance order your truck with a 36 gal fuel tank? I'm told this is why I am waiting....

You like ignoring my original post . Read it again and you'll see I documented how long it took to go through each stage + invited others to submit their tables so we could create a normalized table of date ranges.

Oh, please don't think I am ignoring it. Quite honestly, I am having trouble finding time to put all the dates together. At this point, I am thrilled that I have some moving status. Thanks!

Good question. I ordered mine with the regular 23 gallon juice collector!

Yes, I ordered with 36 gal tank, 6.5 ft bed and 5.0. The 5.0 seems to be a scarce motor at dealerships. I have visited at least 10 dealerships in person and or online.out of those not a one had a 6.5 bed in stock and only 1 5.0 on average out of 15 of the 3.5 eco. no 2.7 and no 3.5 non boost. Since I ordered in my fashion I expected from what I have read it would take much longer then 8 weeks. But ,I haven't got it yet,we'll see.

Today's news: truck went into production phase on the dreaded COTUS website. I found this interesting as I have been told by Crystal and my dealer the truck will be built the week of 7/6. Could they possibly be two weeks ahead? The ETA is holding steady at 8/2. Event though there is a window sticker icon on the COTUS site, when I click on it, nothing shows up. The wait continues......................................... ................

Mine went into production yesterday, but I wasn't able to see the window sticker until this morning. My estimated delivery date is 7/26.

Status Update- Mine completed Order Processing today, 6/25/15. The bar graph shows in Production, but with no date. There is also a Window Sticker Icon that does not attach to anything.

You should be able to see your window sticker tomorrow.

Exactly right! I just got the sticker! Looks like a build date of 7/9 with an ETA of 8/2. First time I have ordered a truck that will not be built in Dearborn. I guess I am going to Kansas City!!!!
