Fogbelly Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ordered 8/4. Delivered to dealer 2/9. Dealer says it won't be ready until 2/15 at the earliest and probably 2/16. Is a week for dealer prep standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) only takes about an hour unless there are DIO (Dealer Installed Options) options that need to be installed. Otherwise, the only other time required is that needed to clean and detail the vehicle. Even pre-COVID, it wasn't unusual for a vehicle to arrive at the dealership in the morning and be delivered that afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bshort Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 They have to stick it out on the front line for a week, so they can attract buyers. ? No, shouldn't take that long..unless something arrived broken and the parts will take a bit to arrive. I'd suggest driving there and looking at it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been waiting for months and now a bunch of other folks are going to be pressing their noses to her windshield and their belt loop hung keys to her painted sides??? Not on my watch. Go down there and watch them do their prep and get your truck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morepower02 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Must be pretty backed up in the shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forderorder Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Does anyone have the document that dealers use to complete the pre-delivery inspection process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a fairly extensive search online and wasn't able to find one, so they must be closely guarded documents. I do know they have to take it out of transport mode, put the hubs on AUTO if 4WD, check and/or top off all the fluid levels, clean/detail. I'm sure there are other things but I can't see it would be much more than a day like ice stated. If your dealer is taking a week, they are using it for advertising like bshort noted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
road turtle Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Mine arrive late afternoon. Picked it up from the dealer about 24 hours later, which had more to do with my availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauljbouda Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I would make sure to check your miles and idle hours when you pick it up…hope they don’t let other test drive before delivery to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdm Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Mine was ready within 48 hours. It arrived the Tuesday after a long weekend and the shop was backed up. I stopped in on the Tuesday night to check it over, salesman threw me the keys and let me go play just wasn't allowed to take it for a drive until they completed the PDI. It was in the back corner still fully covered in plastic and in transport mode. I took delivery the following evening after work.
