Well after all this waiting looks like I'm going back to square one. Apparently the railcar holding my truck was broken into on it's way from Dearborn to KC. Truck is totally trashed. Railroad said it was most likely a gang of hobos because they even left a note - "thanks for the f-shack, from Dirty Mike and the Boys". At least I should get Priority 1 on my next order!

I'm really sorry to hear that. Maybe with the next one there will be less forced deletes. The one I was getting was headed to MO so I wonder if it was on the same train.

Ha! You had me for a split second there!

You got me!

Haha, couldn't resist. Here's hoping my truck arrives in pristine condition this coming week!

Thats interesting because my tracker updated yesterday and i lost my shipment check mark also. Ford can not tell me where it is. They think it might be at the dealership but can not confirm because nothing is open now. I am so ready to be done with this BS. It really has taken the fun out of owning a new truck.

The King Ranch I ordered arrived at the dealership today. 87 days from being ordered to delivery to the dealer. Pretty good given how long some of these are taking. No pictures since I am not taking delivery of it.

The status on Ford.com finally updated to "Final Preparation". I suppose I'll hear from Granger today that the truck is in and they should be able to support my planned pickup date of 4/24. I ordered my truck 99 days ago.

Nice! I'm actually waiting for my connecting flight to Des Moines right now to pick my truck up today. Star White Platinum PB? Can't be too many of those on the lot. I'll try to scope it out and take a pic for you...

That would be fantastic! Thank you. Best of luck with everything on your new truck.

That's awesome @Deck75 ! Mine shipped 8 days after yours so I'm hoping to hear it's on Granger's lot next week.

Happy new truck day @Aaron34 ! How many days are you taking to drive home?

Well, I was hoping to get a good 8 hours of driving in today, but I took a redeye flight from Seattle last night and couldn't sleep a wink. So I may end up picking the truck up today around noon and staying the night in Sioux City or some place close. I was hoping to be home by Saturday night, but I've got flexibility.

There's a lot of trucks here. But I think it might be this one? Tow mirrors?

Did it come with those wheels and tires?! Damn, looks good!

I know! Those tires and wheels are sh*t hot!

I guess I should post a picture of mine. Great experience at delivery with Granger. In and out in 10 minutes max. They are awesome!
