Are these customer trucks or dealer stock? I haven't contacted my dealer asking for an ETA since I ordered a few weeks ago. Think it may be time to start the weekly nuisance email:laughing1:

Yes, dealer stock first for quality reasons.this is how it's done but only the first 10 days then customer orders start.

So customer orders should start around Sept 7ish? Let's say it does start on 9/7, how soon do 2013s get to the dealers?

I ordered mine on 7/11 and hoping I am in front of the line.

The line I was told is roughly as follows, "The first couple of batches are for dealers/fit/finish/QA, then they'll start building customer orders. Once your truck is complete it should take around two weeks by rail to arrive (from Dearborn to the West Coast)." Largely it depends on how far you are away from the plant I would assume. I'm no expert but that's what I've heard multiple times.

This may be way out there...:whymewhyme:
but since there is not that many changes from 2012 trucks, why all the fit and finish crap?? Line should be good to go! so we have differant lights, color and maybe new wheels.... And yes, I am from MFG background....:lol2:
