Macmac350 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Has anyone ordered a new 2018 and got their vin yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macmac350 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yahoo got my vin on my new truck. Being built week of Jan 1st. My brother in law ordered is last week got vin and its being built week of Jan 29th. I ordered it Oct 9th but dealer didn't put it in till the 30th. They had wrong tires on it the 9th and I told them about it the 10th. said they fix and that is why it was the 30th. Guess what looking at plant build sheet..it still has wrong tires! So they lied...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I placed a retail order on Wednesday for a customer, the dealership had allocation for scheduling this week and it's been scheduled for production the week of 01/2018.

03expy07 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I ordered an 18 King Ranch on 11/09, I went to the dealer 11/29 and added a few things to the order and the dealer said that they had allocations for this week so he was confident it would be scheduled in the next day or two. He emailed me today with the VIN and a scheduled build date of 12/19, which, ironically, is also my birthday. So I’m guessing, based on everything that I have seen here and FTE.com that the dealer allocation has as much or more to due with the scheduling than the type of build or material availability. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It’s both. The vehicle has to be buildable based on options, etc. Once the vehicle is buildable it’s up to dealer allocation and the priority of other vehicles the dealer has on order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03expy07 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The 2018 “build and price” tool is finally working on Ford’s website and Cotus started working today for a lot of guys including mine which is two weeks out from its build date.

fordmantpw Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 And the 2018 gets 10 more HP and 10 more ft-lbs of torque to be back on top in both categories. I think it's funny how Ford toys with the other 2 like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03expy07 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 where do you find the "cotus" at for them? Cotus.com. Customer Order Tracking U.S. is a generic order tracking website by Ford. You can enter your VIN or dealer code, order # and last name to search for yours. It would seem that Ford is having trouble with it. A lot of guys orders aren’t showing up until near the end if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03expy07 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Surprise, my truck was built yesterday the 20th and COTUS showed a delivery date of January 15th which I guess was right given the upcoming shutdown. And then this evening I checked COTUS, knowing nothing would have changed, when to my surprise the status had changed form awaiting shipment to in transit with an updated delivery of December 27th.

I’m 655 miles from the plant and mine will come via convoy which is only a 12 hour drive, or two days, for a big rig. I’m just glad shipping didn’t shut down with the plant too.

03expy07 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 COTUS is so frustrating. My truck was scheduled 12/12 with a build date of 12/20 and an estimated delivery of 1/15. Okay but not great. Then the day after it’s build the delivery date changed to 12/27.. Awesome! The dealer called yesterday just to give me an update and said that it was still on the ramp in Kentucky. Clearly not going to make it here today. And now the estimated delivery date and days to delivery have disappeared off COTUS. There killing me smalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03expy07 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think plants closed for this week, if it didnt leave yet maybe it wont till after new year I looked up the rail carrier and they only take off 3pm on the 24th thru 10pm the 25th. So hopefully it will get here this week so I can use my inventive that expire on the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
