Hello all!

I ordered my Mega Cab 4x4 on 3/27 from a dealer here in Northeastern, Pa.

They mentioned that the beast would would take ~ 1 month to build, then a week or two to get to California. Then 1 month or so to get to Maryland area via boat.
Still no build number as of last week....

I've been trolling here for a few months and never came across info about the long boat ride to the East coast.

Any info would be appriciated.

Oh...
White Mega Cab, 4x4, Laramie.
Waiting impatiently!!

Thanks for the wealth of info and awesome forum!

Take care
Keith

 

I ordered mine on 4/3 and it has been built and shipped. I was at the dealer today, I stop in about twice a week, and they showed me that it was slated to be at there door on 5/23. I ordered a QC though and it is comming out of mexico and going to Newark, NJ then on a train to northern NY and then down to me in Hyde park. But to answer your question it was finished on 4/22 and so the ship time should be a month. I hope that it being finished on Sat will not hurt the relibilty.

why does it get shipped to so many different places?

 

I ordered one two weeks ago and it has a delivery date last week in May,, This is for Connecticut,

 

Get ready for the wait....it took mine 14 weeks from ordering to delivery.

 

Ordered mine 3/22 , was told it was built 2 weeks ago but it's not here yet?

 

mine took 11 weeks to get here from the day I ordered it, ( January 26th ). It was on a train car for about 10 days. It sat in storage for most of the time in a " ready to ship " status. It took only 3 weeks to actually build the vehicle. I haven't heard of trucks being delivered by boat over here, cause they have a pretty etensive rail network from Mexico to anywhere in North America. It would seem like a huge waste of fuel to rail a truck to CA, stick it on a boat, drive it through the panama canal to get to you in PA. But you never know....

 

If it's built then it has a VIN #. Have your dealership print you out a progress
sheet. It will tell you the dates and progress locations of the truck.

Mine sat for two weeks in processing, then the long train trip from Texas to
Jersey and then to East Brookfield, Ma. where I guess the main distribution
point for the S.E. is. Then it sat for another week. It gets aggravating but
believe me it was well worth the wait.

 

i ordered mine in december still no truck sitting in boat yard in newark nj no one can seem to get the truck to ny for me factory rep said last week it would be last friday or monday yesterday came and went the told me today but i dont believe them they all lie

 

Ordered mine on March 20th, received Vin#, truck waiting in lot to be shipped
to East Brookfield, Ma then to dealer. Est is 3 weeks but after reading all these post, I'll get excited when dealer calls

THEY GOTTA BE EXPORTED ...lol

 

Thanks for all the responses. Much better than my dealer!
I guess I have to stop by and harrass them...

Nice to know they may be BS'ing aboutthe shipping...

All I could think is that the truck will have to endure a salt brine spray.
I figured that was my job.. LOL! ..Living in the Rust Belt!

Thanks again!
Keith

 

Actually, I think they have to endure the slow boat from China. At least that is what I am claiming. My bilstein shocks are also on the slow boat from China. Maybe I'll get my shocks the same time you will get your truck.

 

Ordered my truck on Monday and was told it would take 10 weeks for delivery... so yea... im sitting pretty... anxious as all to get her in though...

 

called the dealer just now. Truck is built and in storage for shipping. my dealer seems to think it will be third week in May from late March order placement...
