I mean, I know my salesman is super busy and I hate to be that customer who keeps pestering him. I was thinking like you, I’d want to know my vin then kinda lay off for a while and use the resources here.
The struggle I have is with where that line is between demonstrating realistic expectations by not harassing the salesperson and giving them the leisure of apathy and he does not proactively update you at all if you don't.

Exactly... I don't want to be a PITA customer, BUT if I hadn't called and asked, I'm not sure I would have ever got a call from the dealership. I think their attitude is "unless there is something positive to tell the customer... we wont contact them at all".

In a way I think they are right... them calling with constant "I don't know" messages is negative reinforcement in sales terms...

No wheel liners. It did have the spray in bed liner and the soft folding tonneau cover.

My truck was assembled on the line last Thursday and I was hoping that would allow it to get off site to have those options installed before the plant closed again on Monday.

Based on the change in my ETA, I guess that was too much for them to handle.
How do you know it was produced on the last line? Curious as to how you got that level of detail

My XLT went into production on 6/29 and I received the window sticker that day also.

Blend date of 7/7, produced 7/8 (Thurs).

ETA end date went from 7/30 to 8/12 on Monday to 8/16 today.

I got so fed up yesterday that I was literally working a deal online for a black midnight package Silverado Custom Trail Boss. The only thing that kept me from ditching this fiasco was that another salesman there sold the truck I wanted before I could get that far with the one I was talking with.

I was hoping to order the exact same color combination as you (antimatter blue, two-tone paint) and was trying to see if you had any photos....but it looks like you still don't have the truck? When did you order? I won't lie, it makes me nervous about ordering this week.
You do realize that two posts above your post is a picture of my Antimatter blue and stone grey two tone lariat?

No, I don't have it yet. I ordered on 4/2. The worst thing is that Antimatter Blue is built in KC. Which is a huge cluster.
That is incorrect, my Antimatter Blue F150 came from the Dearborn MI Plant.

Thanks for clarifying that. I stand corrected.

Well, my order date 1/15, production date 3/24 F150 Lariat SC PB finally arrived at the dealer. My second one ordered 5/26 will be here next week. Really love the truck but have a few concerns. I have driven F150 trucks since 1977. First feature I miss is the easy up window. Not a feature on the 2021? Have had it for 15 years at least. Back up alarm? What? Back out of the garage at 4:15 am with the family sleeping. That was shocking. There is a strange loud whining sound in Electric, slow speeds while in motion. Can’t be right.

What exactly do you mean by easy up window? The auto-up feature that lets you hit the switch once and have it go all the way?
So after your wait you ended up taking the first truck? Assume that means it arrived in great condition?

First truck was fine. Dealer told me to take it and drive it. If I found it was a problem he would swap trucks when the second one came in.
There is nothing wrong with this one. Somehow the easy up window started working??? And the whining is a fake sound coming out of the speaker. Some kind of warning sound in forward, and a beep in reverse.
