Default Did anyone order their Dakota direct?

Did anyone here order their Dakota direct, so that it came directly from the factory? I'm trying to figure out about how long I should except to have to wait for mine. I know if the dealer transfers it from another lot, it can be there in a few days, but how long if coming from the factory?

If anyone had theirs ordered this way, please let me know when you ordered it and when you received. Thanks.

Mine was a special order. It was in the system just before Thanksgiving, built just before Christmas, and received January 7th. I checked almost as many option boxes as you

I ordered mine on April 23, so I'm eagerly awaiting delivery. Unfortunately, it's only been 3 weeks, so I probably have several more to wait.
