6/27/2022 Build Week

[Mtnman1]

Now this is the 4th range I got. Just yesterday it was given to me as 24-30. I hope this isn’t the case for you others.

My ETA is still 8/16 - 8/22. Hasnt changed even though truck is 8.9 miles from dealer.

That would mean at least 3 weeks at the rail yard waiting on a truck.

At least you are built and shipped

Mine still hasn’t shipped. ETA was 7/22-7/28, but the dealer texted and said it has been changed to 8/14.

How are you guys tracking your rail shipments? Can I just enter my vin on any of the rail companies to see if they have my truck?

@mazeppa - Looks great, thank you. Enjoy your new ride!

Yep, that's exactly how mine turned out, too. Picked 'er up yesterday. No complaints!

 

[archer000001]

Yes, I'll post my findings on the active air dam. I've posted the same question to various forums without response. Hope it's deleted with the snowplow prep package. If not, I'll remove it myself within the first 24 hours. Retracted or not, that thing would never survive our subzero temps, getting crushed by frozen logging road ice breakup and the approach angle. Even the front license plate takes a beating with that ice.

I'm still at "Built and currently awaiting shipment" in Ford's tracker.

@Mtnman1 Picked my rig up at Granger yesterday. Turned out perfect, with not an active air dam in sight. The snowplow prep package paid its way. One less mod to deal with.

What rail did it go?

BNSF, i had to create and account to track.

Once it went over to CSX, i was able to use the 800 number to track.

Whats your VIN? I will see if anything shows up on BNSF Website.

It hasn’t shipped yet according to the tracker but there’s a small chance it did ship and wasn’t updated. Long shot but I was gonna see if there was an easy way to check with the rail companies. My vin is 1FTEW1EP2NKE26283.

I get nothing from BNSF on that VIN.
Do you rail car number? CSX track is 1-877-7279. Option 2-1-3. Then say location. Then say rail car number.

BNSF Tracker still has my railcar at transfer yard in Indiana. Same with Ford chat/call. Seems like they get lost after carrier change.

This is where it changed trains. The railcar made it to destination on 7/26.

On a side note, i was in detroit this week on business. Left today. Passed 4 semis loaded with new F150's heading south outta detroit on I-75.

Thats 32 folks gonna be happy soon.
