I finally got someone on the phone at the dealership. It was a mistake, as I figured.

Someone put my name down for a Tremor. Mine is still scheduled to be built next week.
Glad it was just a mistake on their end! Don't take offense at all the speculation (mine included). Some of us really do have a weird obsession with this forum and spend an embarrassing percentage of our time here. Which means we have been around long enough to see and read most of the possible horror story variations regarding Mavericks being "accidentally" sold to the wrong person, the Ford tracker being very unreliable, etc.... This is one where I am glad we were wrong.

This forum has been very valuable to me, and I don't even have my truck yet!

It's because of the information I've found here about how to track production, how to look for a window sticker, and how long people have had to wait for delivery after production that I was able to guess with high confidence that this was just a mistake on the dealer's part.

If I hadn't known all of that, I would've been really angry with the dealer. Knowing what I know, this is just a hiccup and actually gave me a laugh.

The sales guy will get back to me on Tuesday. It hasn't even been a month since Ford said they were going to schedule it. Is it likely it could be built ahead of schedule and shipped from Mexico to Florida in under a month?
Mine when into production on Jan 12th of 23 and was built and delivered to souther Wisconsin on feb the 6th of 23.. So that was around 3 weeks.. Delivery was just 2 weeks.. It left Mexico then sat at a train yard near St. Louis for almost 2 weeks. Before being put on a convoy semi and then it was just 10 hours after it was loaded it was delivered to the dealership

The guy I talked to today said it usually takes 4 weeks for delivery here.

Ya I thought mine would take longer.. I had been hearing some of them would sit in Chicago for a week or 2 also.. Sinse I'm only about 1 hr from the outskirt of Chicago I just figured it was going by train to there.. So I was surprised when they said it was loaded on a semi in st.luis

If it had been delivered on Tuesday, you would have likely found a cat inside. 50/50 as to whether or not it would be alive. So you're honestly better off having been the observer of a dealership mistake rather than a legitimate wave function collapse. Although the latter would go over better at faculty parties.

It hasn't shipped yet, but the projected delivery date has changed. Yesterday it was showing 11/5-11/11, but today it's showing 10/18-10/24. Obviously I like the earlier date better, but it's pretty clear that it means nothing reliable.

The weird thing is that I still can't get a window sticker. It says it hasn't been released for my VIN yet. I tried the link again in an incognito window, thinking maybe I was loading from cached, but got the same result.

But I believe it's been built. Ford actually notified me today, two days late.

I'm sure lots of people have experienced what I'm experiencing now. You can see above that projected delivery was 10/18-10/24. This past week, pretty much every day I've checked status, the projected delivery has slipped by another day. As of today, projected delivery is 10/23-10/29. Grr.

I would go to the dealer!
you are, of course, assuming that when he pulls up, the dealer is there, instead of not there . . .

If it had been delivered on Tuesday, you would have likely found a cat inside. 50/50 as to whether or not it would be alive.
don't count out the cat yet . . . they're kind of crafty (so do check all storage areas when it arrives!)
