So you special ordered a new Truck and bought one off the lot? If your truck is finished, it's waiting for transport to the dealer, could be anywhere from 4 days to two months.

I’m 1300 miles away from home and need a vehicle today to get home. The car that brought me here can not take me and my family home. My special order is waiting to get on a rail car at some time in the future that nobody knows when that will happen. What would you do?
I can’t wait 4 days to 60 to get my ride. So I am missing your point about my special order being 4-60 days away.

Hi Joe,
I am of the opinion that you do what you have to do. I have always told my wife that we make the best decision we can with the Data we have in hand. If it shows we did not make the best decision, no regrets as we do not operate on speculation. Been burned by speculating on events only to be proved wrong...So make the best decision you can with the information you have on hand...you done well, JMO!
best,

After a LOT of searching, we thought we were going to have to order one too, but two days ago, we tripped over a unicorn only about 90 miles away.

sweet! I have been enjoying my Lariat.
Very impressed with what the engineers have done. I figured 10th gear would rarely be used. 83mph cruise control, 2% uphill grade and 15-20 mph wind hitting at 2 o’clock direction and the truck didn’t drop a gear. And was getting 18.2gpm. Coming from a wrangler that got 16mpg, has me smiling.
