Hey everybody. Hoping everyone is getting good news. Just wanted to let y'all know, changing the tag lights to LEDs was super easy. I bought the Sylvania 168 LEDs. 168 is compatible to the 194 bulbs. Took 3 minutes. Just got under the truck, twisted the wiring harness, removed old bulb and placed new bulb in. Works wonderfully and looks way better. I have also gotten my windows tinted, spray in Line-X, bedcover, and 2.5 leveling kit installed. Will change tires later down the road to something a bit bigger and actually are an all terrain tire. Overall everything is running smooth. Hoping it stays that way for a long time!

Hey guys. My delivery window was just bumped from 4/1-4/7 to 4/15-4/22. I was under the impression it was going to be sent to the dealer via Truck/convoy. (KC plant --> Fort Wayne, IN) However I just found it is going on Norfolk Southern Railcar # AKO 502726. Is anyone able to track the status of the railcar for me?

Well I have been able to track the railcar my truck has been on. It seems to have made it's way to Indiana in a reasonable amount of time, but has not reached it's final destination. I wish there was a way to find out it's final destination before it gets put onto a truck. I highly doubt it will go directly to Fort Wayne where my dealer is located, but based on rail maps, I suppose it's possible. My best guess is it's next stop is Chicago. We'll see.

Still waiting till the physical check is in my hand. My dealer charges the higher price up front, submits the forms for price protection, and then sends the check once they receive it from Ford. With all that said, my X-plan sheet had price protection circled, so if all else fails, the X-plan people said I could email them all my paperwork and they will audit them to ensure I get my check.

Norfolk Southern tracking is showing that it has arrived at it's final rail destination in Elkhart IN - less than two hours from my dealership. Now how long will it take to make the remaining two hour journey? haha

Nevermind. Figured it out. Sorry for the crappy photos and low light. Going to get better and larger tires when these run down. Pretty happy with the look.

Picking mine up soon, just got the figures from my dealer and they are honoring the price quoted to me in Oct. 21.

Matched factory on front passenger windows. I'm thinking either 20 or 25%. For the windshield, I did 40%. Dark enough to obscure view inside, but not too dark to impair driving at night. Very happy with the choice. I know some who like it much darker, but I wanted it to remain functional for me.

Ross, mine looks exactly the same. Might still be on the New Boston ramp.

OK - now that mine has been delivered by RAIL, is anyone able to track it via truck? Thanks again for everyone's help!

only site I know of that might show something is unitedroad.com. (go to the green "delivery receipts" tab) Mine is not registering anything on that site. Others might have an alternative, as I'm in the same boat as you; my truck is off the train, but I have no status on the last mile of delivery.

Hey are you able to track my truck again by rail?
