Built 20APR2023, no bubbles though. As-built only showed BCM, no PCM data.

I've never seen a an As Built module list populate PCM data- just BCM.

Wow that’s a big difference. I went through Ford chat and they gave me the railcar info. I found a way to track it and the railcar is currently in Baldwin FL. I’m in central FL so it’s getting closer

I'm in Gainesville, stationed in the middle east.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That’s so awesome! I bet you can’t wait for Monday, my estimated delivery still says 5/16-5/29 so we’ll see.

Again congratulations and would love to see some pics eventually.

According to both Ford marketing and Granger, my status hasn't changed since being built and shipped on 4/21. Supposedly, it's still at Ramp 58 in Melvindale, MI waiting to get on rail car for KC . Kind of a let down having to wait several weeks to get on railcar without knowing why since the build was quick and there were no expected holds. Also, strange that the ETA range shrunk from 5/9-5/22 to a more defined date of 5/12-5/18.

Decided today it would be prudent to push out my original hopeful mid May pickup to June week one to give myself a couple of weeks buffer and a still reasonable airfare fee increase (heading into summer price increases). Hopefully, it's not one of those trucks that got built too early for its destination and got placed some where out of sight while waiting for other builds to fill up the rail cars for the next scheduled train to KC. It will be nice if it's one of those deliveries that just show up during the originally expected time frame or unexpectedly early while the tracking still says its at Ramp 58.

I hear you man. Still continues to be frustrating, my local dealer has not been helpful or provided any communication much through the process. I reached out to the Ford chat a few days ago and they provided an update that the vehicle was shipped and even gave me a railcar number but then as I tracked it, it came within 20 miles of my dealer sat there for two days and now is headed back up the country. Now I’m not sure if my vehicle is sitting at some rail depot or is still at the factory. So crazy how bad the visibility is on this stuff.

If it's in Baldwin, it's going to sit there for a few days, then be forwarded to Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Winter Haven or Palm Bay (near West Palm Beach), which are where the CSX auto ramps are in Florida.

All the CSX rail trains carrying autos into Florida or South Georgia stop at Baldwin for classification and forwarding.

Just checked and my estimated delivery date changed from 5/16-5/29 down to 5/2-5/15.

My truck’s ETA for delivery to Granger is 9-22 May. Here’s hoping for some good news next week. I also see that Ford has just started a new $1,000 retail bonus cash offer. So, that is a nice little extra kicker

My local dealer recently sent me "Just Announced" incentives from Ford available for my area. Some of them are the following for a new F-150:

$2,500 Ford Lease Trade-in Rebate on new F-150 STX
$1,250 Ford Rebate on new 2023 F-150 Hybrid
0% APR for 36 months on new 2023 F-150
$1000 Ford Retail Order Bonus Cash.

I had the same Granger ETA as you (now 5/12-5/18), but as mentioned previously, the truck seems to be still at Ramp 58 (Melvindale) waiting to be loaded on a railcar. Hopefully, it arrives soon and I can do a pickup before these new offers expire at month end (5/31).

That’s good to know, thanks! I ordered a PB, so hopefully I can get the hybrid discount as well. I’ll be interested in what offers the finance department is able to get me
