I did find out that it apparently has black calipers, which I'm disappointed in. I thought that since it was a CE V8 that it would come with blue calipers. The updated build sheet states otherwise.

How re you tracking it? Did you get some sort of tracking info from the dealer? I didn't and mine is supposed to be here on Friday.

I ordered on 3/22/23 and was given a build date of June 9th-ish. Delivery date (to my local dealer) was August 4, but I was just informed that my delivery date is now expected to be July 21! So, two weeks earlier than estimated/promised.

No clue! I just emailed my sales dude about some dealer-installed pieces and he dropped, "we're still on track for July 21 delivery...." My original delivery date had been guesstimated as August 4, so it was fun news.

How do you track your order? My dealer sent me the order detail sheet with the expected build and delivery date, but how are you guys tracking progress?

You'll probably need to ask your sales person for an update. I asked mine and he sent a screenshot of the ship name and port arrival dates (but not the port names).

If you're a couple weeks out you'll need to do some digging to find the voyage number so you can track it. I wasn't supplied with the voyage number, and that number makes it much easier to track.
For instance. My ship is called THEBEN. I found it on Vessel Tracker and saw that it's heading for Southampton. I googled "vessel tracking theben voyage" which gave me a link to the transporter which is Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

On their site I can find THEBEN's entire voyage and can cross check it with where it should be arriving today (Southampton), and that it has a US destination on its manifest.
Now I can see that it's going to unload in Baltimore between 7/25 and 7/28. My delivery confirmation from the sales rep said it would unload on 7/25, but didn't say where, and there are two US stops for this ship. But now I can confirm it's Baltimore.

You could totally geek out and about three days out go to the Port of Baltimore and look for the arrival schedule for THEBEN as well. They don't post those too far out though.

Now once it hits land I'm not sure how to track the truck. I was just happy to be able to track the ship.
