I heard through a buddy who also has a truck coming in that he spoke to his dealer in Philly the other day. The salesmen told him the following:

1) At present 3 customer trucks have been delivered to the dealership, but none have been released to the customers.

2) Accessories: The main warehouse for accessories is in Indiana and once a truck is confirmed to be on its way from the Port of Baltimore, they will reach out to the warehouse to deliver the accessories to their dealership. He said it will take no more than 3 days for the parts to arrive at the dealership (assuming they are in stock in Indiana). They then have to be put on etc....but since most look to be bolt on it doesn't look like a lot of work.

Not sure how inventory is going to work in the future, but it seems that you will have to wait on most parts.

3) There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which trucks are being released from the port (i.e. earliest ordered etc...). The dealership gets notice that certain trucks are on their way.

4) He didn't know how many trucks were sitting at the port.

5) Nothing definitive on the timing of the tow hitch fix.

It is early days, and they are learning as they go....especially with these first trucks.

I got my VIN today. First movement since the pre-order. I guess I should be expecting a deposit refund. Oh boy, another waiting period!

Hey Jeffrey, that is good news. May I ask your approximate pre-order number? Mine is #00000137XX and hope to get VIN soon.

Cheers.

Hopefully I get a VIN soon. I have enjoyed watching the guys track shipping. Thanks.

I got my VIN the end of October and I haven't received my deposit refund yet. Also been told my truck is at the Port of Baltimore and had passed all its initial quality checks as of November 22nd (part of the tow hitch announcement as well)....trying to make sense out of this at this point will drive you crazy. They will work it out....but a launch is never perfect the first time. It may be better to be in the pool of trucks being delivered in February or March to allow them to work out the kinks.

I talked to my dealer again and was given this info:

1) Trucks with the tow package could take 4-8 weeks to deliver. Two weeks have already passed for me so essentially 2-6 weeks from this post. My truck is at the port in Baltimore. Approximately 60% had the tow package.
2) Trucks without the tow package are being prioritized and sent to the dealership.
3) My dealer is scheduled to deliver their first trucks next week.
