If you customize a truck online at the dealer's website, how soon on average can the truck be customized and ready for you to buy?

It depends. We had a guy buy a brand new Freightliner. It was gonna be delivered August. Then he got a call for September, then it was October, right now they "promised" him November.. let's see wat they say next month... Lol.

Depends on truck.
Kenworth is usually ahead of due date on a build -
If they're ordering it from the factory to your specifications, count on a minimum of 6 to 8 months. Most manufacturers are working overtime to keep up with all of the orders.
I was just informed today that my new KW T680 arrived at the dealership. I didn't order it spec, but took one that they had already ordered, and I still waited 3 months for it. It was close enough to my specs and I'm happy to get it.20 Mule Team and TruckRunner Thank this. -

Those sites just give you ballpark of how you can configure a truck. There's a lot more to configuring a truck than what's on the marketing site
And don't assume anything. If you don't spec it the way you want, you may not get what you thought you were going to get. Especially the little things that you wouldn't think about.Oldironfan Thanks this. -
