Hey guys, my vehicle was finally shipped yesterday from Dearborn. I live in Florida, does anyone have an idea what the average shipment time will be to Florida or the SE United States as a reference?

Best idea is to look at other vehicles shipping times from the manufacturer to your dealer. No easy answer to this and it can vary.

All - Lost my name on the tracker as well. It makes me feel hopeful seeing people whose trucks shipped out a few days before me are starting to get theirs. Please add original build date, shipped date, eta dates, and arrivial date, when you get it.

I’m so glad I’m at the point where I can find a fraction of the stuff amusing.
check tracker this morning - ETA of 7/3 -7/9
Check tracker at lunch - ETA gets pushed back to 7/5 - 7/11
Get home and have email from dealer, in short. “We at ford are very sorry for lying to you for the last 3.5 months. It appears as if we underestimated the sleuthing abilities of the online F150 community. Due to the ability of you all to sniff out our epic level of bullshit, we would like to give you $100”.

this reminds of National Lampoons, “here’s $100, get yourself something reeeeaaaal nice”

Maybe I wouldn't be so salty if they through in a subscription to the jelly of the month club.

I couldn't even post a reply in that thread I was so angry.

Can you imagine if you went into the dealership to buy a new $60-90k vehicle and the dealer said "ok, so you have 2 equally good options... you can receive the truck in 8 weeks... or you can wait 8 months and, get this, we'll throw in a brand new $100 bill."

I imagine I would either:
A. Laugh for so long that the dealer walks away to help another customer
B. Get the fuck out of there and go to a different dealership on account of something sneaky going on

I swear some intern found a stack of these in a storage closet at headquarters. It's at best a TENTH of a percent of the price of the truck. The person or people making these decisions are so tone-deaf or out of touch that we might have circled all the way through misery and fury back around to hilarity.

Mine shipped from Dearborn and got to South Mississippi in 13 days.

Well I dont want to give false hope to any of the ‘customer name missing’ people - but the dealer called today. My truck that says ‘In transit’, arriving 7/20….. is ready for pickup! Going to check it out tomorrow.

Ugh - dealer calls back this morning - they mistook the truck that arrived - mine is still a week out. They did give me a full rail car printout of where it is. Truck is sitting on a train only 75 miles away… so close.

Just got a call from my dealer, my 3/20 build was just delivered and my replacement order got pushed back to an 8/2 build.
What to do, what to do. 2nd build got max tow and 360 camera along with 360 assist which are nice, but I’m not sure they are necessary. I’ve pulled trailers since I was 10 bailing hay, I don’t really need the extra guidance or camera angles, but I’m assuming resale value would be slightly better.

Congrats. Similar situation here except it takes a lot longer for trucks to get to California (shipped 6/18, ETA 7/11-717). My second order also got pushed to the 8/2 build week. First truck should be here in a week or two. So that means at least another couple months or so to wait for the second one.

I can't handle any more waiting, so I'll be taking the first truck unless there are obvious issues with it. Of course, my orders were identical in build, so less variables to consider.

Yes, my delivery was 3 hours from Dearborn.

They should cut out all the middlemen and just let you pick it up from the factory at that point.

Out of curiosity, do you remember (or can you still check) what your `Transit Date` value was?

15, I think that is what you are asking. I know it went into Transit the 9th and had 15 days expected transit and an ETA of the 24th. Arrived in New Orleans on the 18th and would have been here the 19th if not for the Tropical Storm that went through that weekend. It arrived noon of the 22nd and I picked it up that afternoon.

 

[KielerFarms]

Got a text that my truck came in late this afternoon. Unfortunately I can't get there tomorrow and they are closed until Tuesday.

Any of you get your rig before your eta? I’m Not talking by a couple days, I’m talking weeks. Thanks in advance guys.

ETA was 7/5 -7/11. Arrived at dealer on 7/1. Upgraded from 1999 sf250 super duty.

Anyone's ETA ever crept up? It's only one day so not worried for now, but I haven't seen that. My ETA jumped from 10/31 to 7/26 on Tuesday, then went to Awaiting Shipment on Wednesday. As of this morning, ETA is now 7/27, so one day later, and still Awaiting Shipment. My quoted Transit Date is 09.

I know it's typical for Ford to ship on Fridays, so we'll see what happens.
