I placed mine this week.I placed the order for my XL/STX Supercab last week and I think it'll be for the best to not track it's progress...or lack of progress, lol.
Did it come with the Raptor grille?Thank you! It was worth the wait!
Assuming your dealer actually placed the order, you should get a VIN relatively quickly (within a month). At that point, you will know what week it is scheduled to be built. Sometimes, dealers don't actually place the order with Ford immediately which slows down the whole process. For reference, I ordered mine at the dealer on 12/23 and it got formally recorded by Ford on 12/26 (Christmas was in there). Here is a printout of the beginning of my order up until it was awaiting shipment:I placed mine this week.
I'll be interested to see how long it takes to get a VIN and an actual "birthday"
I can see the delay in shipping and sitting at docks. Seems like a very large factory funnel and a very complex distribution pipeline.
Good luck, Scott! Tell us about your STX
Here's a rendering of mine

I think I saw that color red on the dealer's lot. It's incredibly vibrant.I placed mine this week.

That is too bad. Moving the order date out can possibly make more than one week difference in when it is actually built, depending on how scheduling is happening the week it is ordered.Dealer told me their Inventory Manager submits new orders once each week. By missing that magic day, it may take nearly another week to go out.
Thanks for this. I'll bug them in a month for the VIN if I don't hear from them first.Here is a printout of the beginning of my order up until it was awaiting shipment:

It is tough to wait, but it is well worth it to get exactly what you want I think.
I love it when a plan comes togetherYeah, I have it all planned out, lol.

I gave in and asked for the VIN a few days ago, lol.I placed the order for my XL/STX Supercab last week and I think it'll be for the best to not track it's progress...or lack of progress, lol.
The times they quote are very pessimistic. I think it is the typical "Under promise and over deliver". If they told you it was going to be here today and didn't get there until the 28th, you'd be disappointed.Update.
The Ford tracking page isn't very accurate. My ETA was September 28th. The dealership called me a couple hours ago because my truck arrived this morning.
She asked me if I wanted to come up and see it. I can't pick it up yet because there's some accessories to be installed, the Ford Performance dual exit exhaust being the major one.
The wait is almost over.![]()
