Get a garbage plate when you are there. The dealer will tell you to do the same, but unless you visit often (ever again) do yourself a favor and treat that new years diet right.

I grew up in rochester. It's famous for a handful of things, but mostly the garbage plate. What dealer are you picking it up from, a ton of places around town serve it, I'll give you my recommendation based on dealer location.

So ... finally my 2019 has been delivered to the dealer. My story just in case some of you guys have orders in the pipeline.

I ordered my truck on 9/6/2018. It was the 1st 2019 allocation at my dealership. It was built on 10/24 (3rd day of production). Tracking shows on 11/8 that it was awaiting shipping with no ETA to the dealership. And then nothing for 7 weeks until last week when an update appeared and it was due to the dealership between 1/7-13. Last Thursday I was told it was at the rail station 2 hours away from the dealership and then it arrived Sat morning.

I still don't know why for 7 weeks, it just disappeared. Please note, I was the 1st allocation and the 2nd and 3rd allocation arrived before mine did. The dealership even sold their 2nd allocation as a courtesy delivery to CA and they are in Rochester, NY. Interestingly, the online window sticker was unavailable during the 7 weeks and then conveniently started working last week.

My salesman tells me it has been horrible year and he has had other orders just vanish without a trace. And then just show up without any notice. I have heard, if you are the 1st truck in the holding lot then you are the last truck out. Ford has no system to monitor what truck was built 1st and so on. This is frustrating as how in the hell can Ford not track a 70K vehicle?

My salesman tells me every dealership has complained and was told Ford is working on a better system that prioritizes shipping where 1st build trucks would ship 1st and not get caught behind 2nd build trucks, 3rd build trucks and so on.

Anyway, I am in VA and will take delivery on the Jan. 17th. I told my salesman to park it somewhere safe leave all the plastic on it and NOT to perform any PDI. I want the joy of detailing it myself.
