Robots and computers build trucks now. They don't care what day it is.
Congrats...getting a new truck is exciting..
Enjoy it. I sure like what Ford is doing with their 150 line.
Robots are so lifelike nowadays

I believe Ford projected build dates are the "week of", and they all start on a Monday. The actual build will hopefully happen sometime that week.
Congrats on a nice truck. Just took delivery of a '12 Lariat Screw, with Heavy Payload Pkg.

Do you mind if I ask you how much more (if any) you paid for your special order truck as opposed to purchasing one off the lot? Did they mark it up considerably more?
