A heads-up to those picking up their vehicles from Granger, especially those coming back to Texas. This may also help others make fewer trips to the DMV who are going to other states.

The temp tag Granger provides for you to drive away with is really just a 15-day "transit" tag while you await your Iowa Title (they tell you it's good for 30 days). When the title arrived at my home in 2 to 3 weeks, it also included a new temporary 30-day tag recognized by all 50 states that I was not expecting. I didn't have to get a TX temporary tags after all.

I had asked for the initial title to be in both the wife's and my name but Granger told me that I would have to do that when I applied for the Texas Title. Okay, but I ended up having to drive to the Department of Motor Vehicle 3 times because:

1. Iowa will not accept a title transfer to another state unless the vehicle is inspected in the new state and the paperwork is provided to prove such. Because Texas recently went to digital inspection reports, I had no paper copy of the inspection when I showed up at the DMV. Even though my inspection was digitally in the system, a paper copy was required. So, when you get your vehicle inspection make sure you ask for and leave with a paper copy of the inspection to provide with your title transfer stack of papers.

2. Your spouses name and signature are required on the back of the Iowa title. You actually have to sign over the title back to yourself plus your spouse. So, you will have two signatures on the back of the title and one for your spouse.

I have purchased many vehicles out of state but none have had to be titled in the state I purchased the vehicle in and require this process.

You have to have any vehicle inspected here in Texas regardless of whether it is new or used as it was bought out of state... I went to Decra on Parker/Independence and they gave me a paper copy of the inspection.

I simply went to the tax office out at McKinney with the doc's Granger sent me along with the inspection and it was all done in a few minutes....

Cheers

HDT05, glad your TX inspection station gave you a paper copy so that could be sent back to the Iowa DMV and you didn't have to change to a joint TX title. Got to love the new Lariats!

Ironically enough, the picture captures just enough of the sign to say "anger".

My blend date was 8/28, shipped 9/2, and arrived at the train yard in KC on 9/5. It's been sitting there ever since. My estimated delivery to @Granger Ford was 9/13-9/19 until just today, when it changed to 9/29-10/5. I ordered my truck 10/9/23. Yep, quickly approaching a full year. Incredibly frustrating that it's 3 hours away and is just sitting there. @Ford Motor Company customer service is no help at all. Maybe ours will end up on the same truck, sometime next year.

You have the patience of a saint.

Calm yourself, you're gonna be alright. I merely pointed out something funny, I said nothing specific about his situation.
