For over a week COTUS said my delivery date was 3/25, then just yesterday it changed to 3/30 and today it changed to 3/31....I'm afraid to look tomorrow ;-). Not sure of the source of the delay, but it sure is frustrating! Fingers crossed I don't have to wait another week. It seems silly that it randomly changes by a day or two.

What I can say is the estimated date seems to actually be an estimated week (7 days, not a calendar week), and COTUS shows the last day. For me COTUS says 4/1, but the Vehicle Visibility Report says 3/26 to 4/1. That's why I'm assuming that.

As long as I get it before Friday next week, I'll have it in time to drive it up to see my family for Easter.
Looking at the map the railway stops in texakana and I think they split up the shipment for Dallas and Houston so if I had to guess yours should arrive at the railyard today or tomorrow

My date has done that about 4 times, not counting the 1 month hold. I haven't really cared until now. It didn't help that a co-worker just bought a 2010 GT convertible. I just got through sitting in it. My Zen patience took a hit.

Seriously though, I'm getting more excited each day. It feels real now. For a while I'd forget sometimes that I'm actually getting one. I was looking at pics someone posted their car a couple of weeks ago ago and thought, "that's a nice car, wait, I'm getting one of those too!"

That's my thinking too. I'll do another check on Friday and post it here. I found the right person to talk to at my dealership finally. I'm actually wondering if my rep is even still there. He never even acknowledged my last message, and didn't get back with me the time before. Maybe he's on vacation.

I'll dive into Deysha's PMs this afternoon and get back with you as soon as I can.

Thanks for the PM Crystal!

It is a joy to drive. I headed out today on some two line roads in the North Georgia Mountains. I was behind this truck doing 45 in a 55. When I could pass, it was nice to do it so easily, especially with the short passing zones. I am finding I have to watch the speedo because you really do not know how fast you are going.

What's your estimated date? It should be pretty soon. It's practically in Texas!

Anyone on the forum from Canada? Asked my dealer not to drill the front bumper and when I went to pick it up it was drilled. Dealer is absolutely useless, they told me the tonneau caps were an option that I had to special order, Ford Canada asked if they were something that was used needed to hold the roof to the car. Ford Canada and dealer are checking to see if wheel locking kit should have come with the car even though it is listed as included on the build and price page. The dealer and Ford Canada maintain that the bumpers are drilled at the factory, is this something for Canadian cars? For Cars going to provinces where front plates are needed? thanks

Cotus still has 4/3/2015 as the EDD. If it comes in before then I can pick her up, if not I have to wait until 4/10/2015 Hubby will be on 8 12's..

Well they should be coming in soon my date is 4-1 at the moment I haven't been able to look since cotus is updating and I can't get ahold of my dealer but I'd I had to guess by the end of this week they should be here if there not already here... I'm going to drive myself mad with all this speculating

You got screwed they don't drill at the factory they leave that for the dealership also I believe the caps for your car is supposed to be Shipped out to you or your dealership free of charge and the wheel locking kit should be in the trunk with the floor mats I believe. i hope that helps you might want to look around see what you can find on the forums because I could be wrong

I'm from Canada. As I have mentioned on this forum before I was not shy about asking my dealer not to drill the front bumper. My car arrived at my dealer a week ago and I have been told that the mount was removed from my car by the sales manager and placed in his desk. He told me that there was large red letters used on all paper work instructing all not to screw the front bumper. I am currently out of the country, returning home in one week.....I am very excited to see my car. Oh and the dealer was kind enough to store the car indoors 'till I get home.

I am pretty sure Noblesteed is 100% correct on all of this here. My dealer told me that the factory did the drilling of the front bumper, but had them check their source. The vehicle prep team at the dealer installs it here during the incoming inspection.

It sucks that they drilled the front bumper of the car when you requested it not to be. I have been reminding my dealer weekly about it and also telling them I may refuse to accept it with a drilled bumper. They assure me it will not be drilled, but will make it right if it does get messed up by someone.

Crystal thinks mine will be delivered next week. I suspect there's a bunch of them coming to Texas the next couple of weeks.

I plan on doing the same thing with my Sto-N-Sho as soon as I get conformation that it is in transit. Even if they will not install it because it isn't "factory included," they can put it with the paperwork with a note reminding the crew to not touch the front bumper. Either that or I will request nothing be done to it until I inspect it myself. Guess I will see how things work out soon, as my delivery is less than 2 weeks away per cotus and Crystal if things go smoothly.

I ordered both the stow n sho and Craig's and I'll decide when it gets here. Dealer has notes everywhere to not mount the factory bracket.
