When put the order in for mine, I was told 6 to 8 weeks...
The truck was delivered in five weeks.

From what I read here, that is NOT the norm. I guess they were able to slide it into a production run.

It also varies as to what kind of:
- Body style you chose
- What tire/wheel package you chose
- If it's two tone paint or not
etc...

There was a very good post on here (and I'm sorry I'm too lazy to search for it) which breaks down how Ford does their production runs.

It might give you a little more prospective.

Here's hoping you get your truck soon!

Time from order to delivery

Ordered 2/3/05 - Talked to Ford Customer Service and gave them my VIN Number (provided to me a week after ordering)...computer says truck is in shipping/transit and is slated for arrival at dealer 3/22/05. About 7 weeks.

I ordered my SuperCrew King Ranch on 02/03/05 and it should be at the dealer not later than 03/18/05. That would make it a full six weeks of wait time. The dealer originally told me it would be 6-8 weeks.

Ordered on 2/17/05, and was told the standard 6-8 weeks. Called the Ford VOPC 800 number, and found out that it should be built this week and shipped next week. If I did the math right, that will make about 5 weeks. Gettin close...........

Ordered first week of December 2004, arrived to dealer Feb 22. Evidently, the plant shuts down for two weeks during Christmas, or so I was told. That's over 11 weeks total.
