Reading these most recent posts, it does seem like there's more consistent build-to-ship activity for our build week vs. the earlier build-store-remove modules period. My build date is stated as 5/28, the last Dearborn work day before shutdown, yet it somehow got into the hands of the shipper right away and is now on a rail car in Ottumwa, Iowa (remember? Radar O'Riley's home down), headed for KC. Given my order was placed 12/18, it's been f-a-r too long a wait. But then, it's been a PITA experience for many of us. My dealer - Granger Ford in Granger, IA - has zero/nada/zip Ford trucks on their lot right now, not even a Ranger. They're referring to this sales year as 'Covid 2021', so they're not having much fun either. Interestingly, the salesman said they have experienced almost no cancelled orders, whether from F150 buyers or Bronco & Bronco Sport buyers. The sense is that there's a general awareness that, whatever delay is experienced, starting over with a fresh order isn't going to be an improvement, price or otherwise.

Ordered 4/12, VIN received 4/19 from dealer with a build week of 5/24. 5/20 window sticker was available and blend date assigned was 5/25. Built 5/25 and shipped next day. Received at dealership 6/7 and scheduled to pick up Friday with a courtesy trade arranged. Dealer said I got lucky and after endless weeks of reading, I know I did!

Hi Jack,
May I ask how are you tracking the location of your truck during transit. I have vehicle in transit myself with a tentative delivery of 6/19. It seems to have shipped on 6/04 to Granger. Thanks in advance..Rahul

Truck has not been delivered yet, but good news is that someone activated it through the screen so I am now able to track its location with Ford Pass. Looks like its 25 miles from the dealership!

My Truck has arrived at the dealer, all tracker still show pending or in shipped status. The dealer has not called. The only reason I know is because I activated the Truck on the Ford Pass and someone at the loading yard activated it on their end. I was able to follow the Truck in transit to the dealership lol

I'm thinking Saturday will be delivery day, two days of PDI is what I am estimating.

Ford F-150 5/24 Build Week Snapchat-962236612

Fresh off the carrier! Wasn't scheduled to arrive until 6/27 and showed up today. It does have some transport damage that will need to be fixed (driver's side tail light cracked), but that'll buy me some time to get my other vehicle sold. This thing showed up way faster than I thought it was going to.

Dearborn to Montana is quite a haul too. Was it by convoy? Were you tracking it after shipment? If so, in what ways?

@hotrod_renegade Congratulations!! on the new truck. Early delivery is always a wonderful surprise.

It would be good to know how/if you were able to track after rail.. My truck (5/25 build) shipped out from Dearborn on 6/4 and arrived at Kansas City on 6/10. Original delivery ETA was 6/13-6/19 via convoy but the delivery date moved to 7/3. Kansas is only 3 hours to the dealership but nobody can give me any updates.
