For those of you waiting for your Truck.....it is worth the wait. I haven't been this happy in quite some time. Driving the truck back from the dealership (with nobody else in the car, kids, wife nobody). I've made many references to ShawShank Redemption in this group but honestly I really did feel like Andy driving in Mexico along the ocean a free man.

If you have any questions just quote me and I'll get back to them when I can. Thank you everyone for your support and especially @TaxmanHog for everything you've done.

Was camping for a week, no service most of the time. I see now that my delivery estimate was moved up from 7/30-8/5 to 7/22-7/28. Idk if the dealership tried to call me, no message though, so I guess it didn’t arrive today.

As of this morning, mines arrived at wherever it'll be hauled to Folsom lake. So you may have been on the same train.

has more to do with no kids and wife in truck than the truck if we're being honest.

Scott at the dealership told me last week that the train unloads at Richmond, and from there it takes up to 6 days by truck.

My truck is currently waiting in Richmond, does anyone know if its up to the dealership to get it to their dealership? According to my dealer, they have no other vehicles waiting for them other than my truck. Hoping they just throw a bunch of vehicles on a car loader and deliver them where needed.

so there’s definitely something funky going on with my truck then…..
Contact your sales manager, review the VVR note, if open questions, elevate the concern by having them inquire with the the regional manager who may have contacts at the factory as to the holdup on this build!

The next latest built date was 7/12, over 12 days ago. Your checking all the normal trackers and getting nothing on the built date?

How is your relationship with your sales person or sales manager? If I was this obviously unaligned with the rest of the group I would indeed go talk to my sales manager or guy. I probably would call them, say you want to come in and talk, and bring that excel sheet with you. I would be like.. here look, this is why I am concerned, can you look into this further?

Edit: You just answered my question, yikes.

Checking order track page frequently, as well as Canadian and US tracker (which almost never seem to work anymore for me). When they do work, they say in production

I keep looking for fault in your build being different somehow but I don't really see that.. many other pros have been delivered already.

I think I would still go in face to face and bring that paper with me. They certainly can escalate it further, they are just choosing not to. If you have proof (the excel sheet) that something is actually wrong then you won't come off as much of an ass.
