4 units · built, VIN assigned
These are finished. They left the plant, they are on a rail car or a truck, and the arrival window is the carrier's estimate rather than a promise. A unit in this band can normally be driven home within a day or two of landing, once it is prepped and the paperwork is written.

Almost everything arrives on a carrier like this one, three to five weeks after the plant releases it. Two of the four units above are due in the first week of August.
3 units · no build week
The order is accepted and we are holding an allocation number against it. What we do not have yet is a build week, which is the plant's decision and not ours. The arrival estimates below are the honest wide ones. Every one of these gets a firm build week later, and when it lands here it moves up into the band above.
Allocation confirmed 06/02

Mid trim, cloth, dark grey metallic.
The onboard generator is the constrained line on this build. If it gets pulled at scheduling we call the customer before the order is resubmitted, not after.

Written, submitted and waiting. There is no allocation number on these and no build week, so there is no arrival date we would be willing to print. The next scheduling window is expected in September. Both of these are the honest end of the list, and a new order written today joins them here.

Diesel half‑tons have been the slowest line to get scheduled all year. We told this customer eight to eleven months at the desk and we are holding to that number here.

Trim, drivetrain, colour and every option line goes on the sheet at the desk. It is submitted the same day and lands in the order bank at the bottom of this page.
The factory releases a set number of units to each store on a schedule we do not control. When one of ours is applied to your order, it picks up an allocation number and moves into the middle band.
This is where constrained options get pulled and orders occasionally get bounced back. It is also the first date on the whole process anyone should treat as real.
A VIN is assigned at build. From release, three to five weeks by truck or rail is normal into this part of Missouri, and weather adds to it in January.
Shipping film off, fluids and tyre pressures checked, wash and a road test. Two days on a normal week. Then it is yours to look at in person before anything gets signed.
You pick every line on the sheet and we submit it. The deposit is $500 and it stays refundable until the unit is scheduled. The honest part is the timing: an order written today is most likely a spring arrival, and on a few lines it is longer than that. You will hear the range at the desk before you sign, not after.
If a store within a few hundred miles has the unit on the ground, we can often trade for it. Trades cost us something, so they cost you something, and it is a number we say out loud before we start calling. Some stores will not trade a unit that is selling well for them, and that is a real answer we sometimes come back with.
Some option combinations are not orderable together. Some are constrained and get pulled at scheduling. A few trims go to high volume stores and never reach a rooftop this size. When that is the answer you get it on the phone the same day, rather than a call back that does not come.
There is no separate waiting list, because a waiting list is not how factory allocation works. There is this page and there is the order bank on it, and they are the same list. If someone quotes you a position on a list, ask them which band it is in.
