Age old question!

Maybe @KnightMare or @tripleB can answer "re-answer".
Found a red TRX in Michigan, dealer sent me build sheet and window sticker,
Says the truck should arrive any minute (last Monday)
Any idea on delivery status?
Figured the build plant is less than 2 hours from the dealership, it'd be relatively fast.
I just dont want to be jerked around again after my LE debacle....
Non refundable deposit applied.
Thanks all!

At least was the case with mine, I don't think they deliver straight from the plant. Maybe with the exception of loading straight to rail...
Mine went to a holding yard in Detroit after it was built, then trucked to the dealer. Mind you the dealer is 15-20 mins from the plant, with traffic. So I knew when it was built, when it was at the yard, and then when it was delivered. I did not know when those milestones "would" happen, but "when" they happened.

Useful info, gratitude.
How did you know it was in the yard?
I'm just worried about my poor truck all alone somewhere!

That ones more unique. I got that info direct from the dealer. So you can ask them if they can produce a screenshot like this:

Unless its at the dealer, or better yet in your hands, its for sure all alone somewhere.

I doubt even being so close that dealers can just go straight the the plants shipping yard and pick it up. They would still have to go through all the yard jumps with the rest of them.

Just my 2 cents though.

Fair enough.

They are going to release it to one of the railyards for your dealer to go and retrieve. One situation that happened in Jan that a TRX got sent to JNAP plant yard and sat there for weeks because it didn't have fuel and they couldn't move it....

The dealership was 10 miles from the plant SMH
