ATLAS BLUE F-150 (2022+) Club

[Mtnman1]

Got my 2 emails overnight, my truck is built and it has shipped so hopefully it will arrive sometime next month. Not sure how long it takes to travel from Kansas to Pennsylvania. Pretty excited that its finally on its way.

well, mine was shipped on 7/13. Since it is rail, it goes railyard to railyard - not a direct patch. Being it leaves KC on Santa Fe (BNSF)which does not go east - it has to switch trains somewhere.

Mine went from Argentine Railyard (KC area) to Bluisland Railyard, just south of Chicago, via BNSF. It then got on CSX and is currently at railyard in Willard Ohio since 3 am this morning. Final destination is the Lordstown Railyard just outside Youngstown.

That is a total of 809 mile in 9 days. If my math is correct that is like 3.75 miles per hour. I could have walked that faster.

I freakin hate rail. The most inefficient shipping method there is .

Picking up my F-150 XLT 302a PB in Atlas Blue on Friday. I got lucky. Ordered May 4 22 and I was told 10-11 months. Never even received a VIN and hadn't even tormented the dealer to get an update. Dealer phoned July 19 22 to tell me that the truck was on their lot. Window sticker indicates May 24 22 date on the bottom and a June 3 22 Blend date. Arrived in NL Canada 5 weeks later.

Caught me out! I had recently returned a car off lease and as we can't deal with 1 car at this time in our lives we decided I would trade a 2020 Subaru Outback on the truck next year and I put my name on a 2023 Cross Trek to fill the gap that we would keep when the truck arrived. Wife finds Outback too big for her tastes and liked daughters Cross Trek. Cross Trek arrived the same day as the F-150. Take delivery of it tomorrow and the truck on Friday. Luckily I was able to find a dealer to give me way above trade on the Outback so it goes tomorrow. Going to be an expensive week.

My truck had minimal options which may have helped the timeline. Only options were higher ply tires, 7.2kw PPOB and sport appearance package. Can't wait to get it.

Nuts! You won't have many friends here with that story!
Congratulations! I may be picking mine up in a few days, scheduled to be delivered to the dealer today
