Finally!!! My Lariat arrives at dealership

[djw479]

My Hybrid Lariat with Lux pkg/CP360/CP360Assist and block heater, etc has arrived at the dealership. Of course that's after waiting for over 16 months for my 2022 order to roll over to MY2023. Picking it up Saturday after a snow storm here on Friday.

Just some stats on my build/transpo time per Ford Order Tracking for those still waiting:
- " In Production" as of 2/10 (original build date was to be 2/7)
- Status of "Built" updated on 2/13 (imagine getting the SIBL adds a day or so, hope having over the weekend build dates doesn't haunt reliability)
- Amazingly it "Shipped" on 2/14 and still shows Shipped with no check mark as of today - 3/1 (per Ford CS it was due to arrive at dealership between 3/6 and 3/14)
- Salesman called me at noon today and its here.

I think living in the Chicagoland area helps reduce rail transpo time, but I'm still shocked it arrived so much sooner than estimated.

Stopped by dealership on way home from work but it hadn't gone through PDI yet. The Atlas Blue goes great with the Navy Blue/Tan interior. Will post pics when its officially mine.

I picked it up last Saturday as planned but family issues sidetracked me from posting a photo till now (and I know its not real on forums until you post a photo).

Waiting for some sunnier days and will post pics of door openings, etc to show the Atlas Blue with interior for those who are waiting for a Lariat and still on the fence about what exterior color they want.

Mine is now 93 days on a rail car... Glad you got yours so quickly.

That is a beautiful truck! Mine shows it was shipped yesterday, maybe I'll get lucky like you and get it early...it's coming to the Indy area. Congrats!

Mine traveled across the country and took a detour on the train in Florida. Now its sitting in a Tampa train yard. The rail car already offloaded and headed out of state so don't know if its off the car just sitting around or what.

Man I feel for those of you with loooong transportation times. I expected the same 4~8 week time frame for the Mav to get to my dealer.

In fact mine got to the dealer so early I had just started to detail my current 2009 Rav4 for trade-in. Now it seems the Chicagoland area is getting more precip (rain/snow/wintry mix) and I can't complete the detailing so didn't even try trading-in at dealer...its now going to be a private sale. I know, small problem vs waiting so long for your Mavericks.

Hope you all get your Mavericks soon!!!
