have heard horror stories on the cummins forum about trucks sitting there for weeks
It is not uncommon with Super Duties to sit in a rail yard for 2-3 weeks. Ford just isn't going to send one pickup on an otherwise empty rail car. My truck sat for 3 weeks until there were enough trucks to come to the north east corridor.
There is a reason the manufacturers tell us 8-12 weeks.
Long before we had all the access to info it was just wait for the phone call.
The Ford guys are really chomping. On the Ford Truck Enthusiast we have a Ford rep that will do almost daily checks for us on truck status once you have a window sticker - which you can now see when you truck is scheduled for assembly.
Think it is bad waiting for a truck or RV?
Try ordering a Harley Screamin Eagle!
Currently in my area if you want a very limited SE Road Glide, you need to have dealer willing to work with you, take your request, put you name down on the one bike they have coming in (maybe you even get to choose the color).
My local dealer's last new product order date was October 14th, for which they were allowed two bikes, they have an anticipated delivery date of January or February!
