22/23 Built and in Shipping Purgatory ETA (Estimated Time of Absurdity)

[las567]

I see some post of dealer taking a week to prep for delivery, my dealer said to pick up on Friday (20th), truck was delivered this morning. Hope he's right since I already booked the flight and AutoTrain. I could have waited on booking the train, but airfares are going up as the plane fills up. Fingers crossed no issues.

yeah mine was delivered to dealer on 1/13, got the call it was there today, and scheduled to pick up and do paperwork the 19th. They couldn’t have it ready by tomorrow they said.

That last mile seems to be the longest doesn't it?
My dealer emailed me tonight that the truck is on the lot. Earlier today when I drove by I found it in back with around 20 others that had been delivered today.
The final wait begins, when will I drive it off the lot and in my garage?

Signed my paperwork last night on the way home from work last night and picked up my truck this morning. Everything looked good and drive to work was pretty smooth. I got to say...that avalanche grey is a hard color to capture in a photo to really give it justice.

Granger sent me some pictures this morning...BAD NEWS truck is damaged. I'm beyond disappointed. Hood is scratched, front bumper is cracked. It's like it was in an accident. I hope you all have better luck with shipping.

That really sucks. Sorry for you. It does look like it bumped into or something bumped into it. Ugh.

Does it look a tad bit darker in person than in these pics? Like does it sort of look like a bit like battleship, or primer sort of grey?

Looks almost like it was parked to close on the trailer and bouncing around on the one infront of its bumper.

I absolutely love the black contrast. Making me second guess my Carb Gray

That really stinks. Hope you don't mind a suggestion , I would ask the dealer if the damage and repair is going to show on any car report for resale. Hope it's repaired quickly for you.

Thanks guys. I‘m just hoping the repair is straight forward and not a big deal. Otherwise I have some thinking to do. Great point about the carfax, I did read up on that today and consensus from others that have gone through this is that it will not show up on a Carfax. I will confirm that with Granger.

Yes...in person it does look a tab bit darker grey.

It also seems to depends on the lighting. With full sun it looks like a light light grey.
I have some cloud cover today and it looks more of the primer grey or if your a PC person...like a light thermal paste grey type color. I think this best describes the true color.

When I left from work yesterday just at the end of dusk it almost looked like it was a greyish-blue color. Im really liking how it looks.

Sharp looking truck Mouse51180. Love the dual exhaust look, much cleaner and sporter looking then a single tip just hanging off to the side. Good luck with it.

I was actually surprised to get the dual exhaust as I had initial read that it was only offered on 4x4 and mine is actually a 4x2.
My guess is it came with the sports appearance package. I like the dual exhaust as well better than the single.

Finally picked it up.
