@TN Rotty was finally able to get mine picked up this evening:

That service drive looks pretty familiar! Out of curiosity, where about do you live? All my family is in Franklin. I grew up in Cypress during the week and spent every weekend and holiday at our place in Franklin. My parents retired up there and my brother and his family built a house on their place. If the drive wouldn’t be so miserable 3 or 4 days a week, we’d move up there and I’d just commute. We’re on 79 about 1 mile east of 2549. If you’re familiar with the area, about a 1/3 mile before you get to 2549 and on the south side of 79 is a little white house. That house was built in the 20s by my great grandparents and is where my grandma and her 7 siblings were raised. One of my great uncles owns it now so it’s all still in the family.

This is at College Station Ford, so I'm sure you drive past it on the trips!

I’m new on this forum. I had a MY22 build date of Dec 20. Fordtracker showed in production as of Jan 11th. Palsapp showed it was moved to an “offsite lot” and has been there since Jan 13th. As of today my estimated delivery on the Fordtracker jumped all the way to May 17th…. Anyone else had issues like this?

same for mine, it was moved to the lot on the 12th, and yesterday the estimated delivery went from 2/16 to 5/17 on the tracker, I’m a space white KC build as well.

Mine just got bumped again, this time from 2/6 to 2/8.

First time checking Palsapp today. It just show my VIN#, freight bill #, origin is Dearborn plant, destination name is null, and the final Status shows as “pending”. Doesn’t sound too promising

Just an FYI - PalsApp doesn't seem to be very reliable... although nothing else does either. My truck was delivered to my dealer on 1/31, and this is the current state of the tracking sites:

- Ford Tracker has been down (for me) since 1/31
- PalsApp shows "pending" with no destination
- Nothing on UnitedRoad or Cassens.
- No email from Ford.

My recommendation is to call Ford Marketing.

I had the exact same thing happen to me yesterday but my date is 5/1. Kansas build sitting in the R. GEBAUR CLAYCOMO OFFSITE LOT. From what I have been seeing on the other build weeks 1/3 and 1/10 most trucks are being sent to this lot. Sounds like they are missing WiFi Modules, Camera's and potentially other parts. What has me most excited is a truck sitting outside in the cold and snow for 4 months not being run when the Ford Owners manual says they should be started every 10 days at a minimum.

Same here, I priced a 7/100k ESP from Zeigler and Flood Ford. Just looked at Flood and it’s $1,335 if I took a $200 deductible.

I’ll circle back to the ESP a little later. I have a bad habit of trading up every two or three years and say every. single. time that “this is the one, I’m paying it off.”

My last 3 or 4 vehicles haven’t made it out of the bumper to bumper before being traded.

Funny enough, I’ve never bought a vehicle and had ZERO regrets about sacrificing anything until now. I really see myself in this truck long term but it’s also only been 27 or 28 hours and the honeymoon phase will last for a few weeks.

Same. I paid my 2017 off and planned to drive it for at least a decade, but considering the market right now, and that I got more for it on a trade than I paid (bought it used 2 years ago), I traded up. I have to say, there are so many little improvements (aside from all of the big ones) over the minor things than nagged me on the '17, that I wish I would have bought a Lariat. This was going to be a stepping stone to a Lightning in 3-4 years, but unless the price of fuel skyrockets, I might just hold out a few years longer. I really love this truck.

Found these online from a dealer in Boston, but hopefully these apply nationwide:

If you purchased from a dealer a great distance away and you do not drive your trade in or fly there, what are your travel plans? My dealer is doing a free 300 mile radius, so for me the closest is about 3.5 hours away. Rather than having the Wife ride up with me and have to follow me back, I decided to get a 1-way rental. Was surprised how cheap it was. Picking it up the night before was less than $60 for a compact.

Same thing I did, picked it up at 5 pm in Ohio, took off the next morning and dropped it off about 1:30 pm in VA. So just a day rental, but yeah they like to charge more for a one way. Took an Uber to Koons, and they reimbursed for that. So the $6,000 savings on the vehicle was well worth the trip.

I also was planning on using this as a bridge to a Lightning but I’m pretty put off by their pricing. I also reserved a Silverado in the first minute or two and I’m at the top of the list with my Chevy dealer.

My biggest concern with an EV is range when towing. If we rent a travel trailer for a trip, I may or may not regret my decision by the time I get to where I’m going. It’s really going to come down to charge time and range as to whether or not I pull that trigger. Depending on how soon I can order, I may just flip it for some money. I hate to be that guy but I could do it to pay off my PB.

How much? On Priceline, the 59 or 60 is all that show up. There should not be any extra fees right?

Great news!!!! Just got a call from dealer. My truck just got there! He is working on getting the Bill of Sale together for me so I can get the check from my bank. He is also working on getting a driver to get me the truck tomorrow.
