Very happy for all you guys that are seeing progress! Hope they show up soon for you.

Still sitting in production for me, according to all 3 trackers.

Just got home from the dealer. They have been a good group of guys to work with. My truck does show as shipped on their end but instead of a rail car number, it says Diverted. They were honest and said they were not sure what that meant. They think it's just waiting to be assigned to a rail car number but who knows....just another mystery in the chain!!!!

Another difference is the dealer is showing an estimated delivery date of 10/5 but the online Ford tracker says 10/25. The 10/5 date would be more in line with standard 14 to 16-day shipping estimates that other trucks coming to my dealer have taken. I'm just glad things are moving.

Holy crap. API data updated again: "primaryStatus":"In Transit". Woot!

well, the FP guys say "it does look like your truck is moving by train" and "is currently moving through Mevindale, MI".... Melvindale is a Detroit suburb, and seems to be notable for it's switching yard:

Which features a lot of auto transport railcars and this vehicle staging/loading area:

and ramps!

so by "moving through" I'm guessing it means "got loaded into a railcar". But whatever, it's massive progress!!!
<edit> Silly me, Melvindale is immediately adjacent to DTP. </edit>

And for those of us with Dearborn Trucks that are still waiting....

Behold! This parking lot is the infamous Ramp 59, where trucks wait on Chip Hold. If you're a Dearborn truck on Chip Hold, odds are, your truck is waiting here....

Tried cache clear, and using incognito mode... still in production lol. Glad to see you all are getting movement. Week is still young, so I'm hopeful.

Just an FYI, my sticker says CONVOY but my dealer confirmed it is sitting on ramp 58 waiting on a train. I'm in Louisiana so stands to reason it would travel by train.

I vaguely recall now, a post in another forum stating some window stickers showing convoy could be rail+convoy. So, your dealer probably has the best authoritative info in their VVR.

I imagine Ford could be changing transit methods around to meet delivery pressures; given trucks are coming out of both the factory and ramp 59 fields now.

My next theory as to why a subset of trucks were built: Ford had railcar commitments they needed to fulfill so the trucks that would fill those cars got built.
