Lariat vs. Fx4 build times

The more I read the board, the more it is apparent that if you want your truck built in a hurry order a Latiat loaded to the pageisus !!!

3 Weeks no vin # on my Fx4 Scab Flareside

I was hoping to shop for a thanksgiving turkey in the new rig.

oh well, there's always tomorrow

Geez, my loaded Lariat was ordered on October 16 and eight days later I had a VIN and a build date of Nov 10. Why the huge discrepancies?

Ordered mine on 8/21. Still no Vin# or build date. The last time I spoke to the salesman on 10/23 it was unscheduled/clean. He lowered the priority from a 20 to a 10.

Screw FX4 Silvermetallic/Dark Shadow Gray
5.4 L
Medium Flint Sport Cloth Bench Seat
3.73 Ltd Slip
LT 275 OWL A-T
18" Mach Alum
Power Moonroof
Trailer Tow PKG
AM/FM/6-CD
Two-tone
Audiophile

Orignally ordered the Bright Tubulars Bars but seen them on another Screw on the lot and I did not like them. Having dealer install crome side step bars as listed in the 2004 brochure under accessories.

Hopefully will have before X-mas?????

I think the moon roof's are slowing them down. I ordered my Dark Shadow Grey FX4 Screw in late August and was driving it 4 1/2 weeks later.. No moon roof.

No holds on moonroofs but there are holds/delays on LT package tires and two tone trucks.

Not Alone

Well, it certainly seems i'm not alone on this one. If it's a factory hold up, I guess we have to learn to except that. I only hope this isn't dealers taking their sweet time to place the orders so they can combine the shipping with other cars or trucks.

That would get my dander up

a dealer wouldn't do anything like that would they
