New build ETA experience...?

Hey I have had three different eta's on my new fx4 I ordered on the 2nd of March... First April 23, then the 30th, now I'm hearing the 10th of May. Curious what everyone else has had happen? Did it come sooner... Or later than eta? Also did they change it on you a few times?

Mine was ordered march 28th, vin issued April 12th, scheduled for the week of may 7th and I have already made travel arrangements to pick it up the first weekend of June. So far no changes to speak of, not to say it won't happen.

I have always been told 10-12 days from production for delivery, barring any unforeseen hold ups. I hope my delivery date doesn't get moved all over!

I heard a read on another forum that there is a shortage of the black FX appearance package wheels. Things like that can delay orders.
FWIW, I took delivery of my truck 34 days from the day I ordered it.

It's just hard to believe that it will take over 23 days to be delivered after it was built..I would like to get as many miles on it I can before I tow my camper on the we'd before memorial day... I ordered a FX4 screw EB with leather, running boards max tow and Sony sound, Oxford white with 20's...

I have heard through other post on sites that delivery can be a long wait depending on where you live, ammount of trucks heading to dealers in that area and amount of trucks ready to ship as well. Hopefully you see your new rig before the long weekend buddy

I am also waiting on more info on our new 2012 SCrew EB. We will be a two F150 family now with our other one being a 1998 Supercab.

I ordered on 3/23 and got my VIN this morning.

Ordered My 2012 SCREW EB on Friday 03/09

My sales rep said Ford updates on Friday's so I have been checking with them each week.

3 weeks ago they said all the parts were in stock but didn't have a build date
2 weeks ago -No change
Last week, they had a complete vin and an expected delivery date of the week of 03/30

We'll see what they say tomorrow.

It was approximately 1 month between placing our order and the dealer having any info back from the factory as far as a production date or ETA.
