Placed the order today. How long before COTUS picks it up?

Ordered the Platinum Max at the dealer on 2/1 and couldn’t get into COTUS until 3/17 the day after the dealer notified me. COTUS showed order date of 2/14. It’s was supposed to be delivered on 4/18 but still shows ”In Transit”. I suppose it will get here sometime this month. The experience has been more like US Postal vs FedEx...

When I first ordered my XLT on 3/14, it said my build date was 4/16, delivery on May 7. It's in production now per Cotus, but delivery is 5/14-5/18.

I can confirm that Canadian orders do show up!
In my case a) using the VIN, the Canadian order will show up, but b) using the order/dealer/last name, the order never showed up.

BTW, my Feb 2 order arrived at the dealer yesterday, and I'm taking delivery on Thursday. Can't wait!

The predicted delivery date was May 1, so they're 5 days early. Total time from order to delivery is 12 weeks minus a day.

My delivery date has been moved up, supposed to be here in 12 days. Not bad.

Cotus says 4 days, which means mid next week. Nice! Just about 8 weeks.

So, I finally got a VIN. Guess I picked a dealer with almost no allocations. Build week is July 16. Ugh.

Wow, I am super bummed. Made the order and deposit for a Blue Max Platinum 4x4 with with HD tow package, ebony interior with 2nd row bench on May 4. Just came into Cotus last night with a VIN (June 14). Dealer e-mailed today and said build date is July 30. When I made the order I was told it would be 8-12 weeks. Now the build doesn't even start until 12 1/2 weeks in. I think good side would be 14-16 weeks total to get in my new vehicle, but that is just speculation on my part.

Any one know when the 2019's come out? May be better just to wait for that.

Don't know about the 2019's, but I don't blame you for thinking about waiting for them. Here is my experience with ordering:

Your order is exactly like the one I ordered and then had to re-order when the first order was got screwed up and omitted the HD trailer pkg. First car took 72 days from order date to date of delivery, but 14 days of that happened when it got delayed in transportation along the way (took 28 days instead of originally estimated 14 days). The second car was ordered on April 2 and went into production May 24 (52 days), completed and awaiting shipment on June 2 (9 more days), and estimated delivery date is June 17 for a total of 76 days from order to delivery date. However, I do not yet know if that June 17 delivery date is going to be met. So, both vehicles are at about 11 weeks, assuming they to meet that June 17 estimate. Looks like the times are creeping longer.

The suspense is killing me.

These vehicles are selling so well, Ford should just load the inventory on dealer lots like GM does with their Tahoes/Suburbans.

Not selling well everywhere.....the dealer down the road from where I work has had the same 11 expeditions on his lot for the past 4 months.....they are not moving at all. And that's with them advertising up to $8000 off....
