I wonder if there is a benefit one way or the other?

I would think trucks faster only because it goes straight to dealer vs train going to centrally located rail yard, to be loaded on a truck and then to dealer. But for all I know, it’s goin to be loaded and unloaded 10 times before it hits my area. If your going by rail your likely farther from the plant or more remote of an area I would assume.

I tried looking up rail vs convoy. There are a bunch of variables that could make convoy way better ar way worse, so who knows???

yea as long as they pack it and ship it, it’s all the same to me.

So I worked for a Ford dealer for ~9 years. I’d routinely track orders coming in via rail. The route taken is very inefficient and 25% of trains would breakdown with no idea of when it would get going again.

F150 Tremor 402A
Ordered 1/29
Build 3/28
Received in production notice and window sticker 3/22

My window stick shows the price increase, $1710 more. I was under the impression i would get the price of the truck when i ordered it, not the 2/15 increase? Any thoughts?

To update,

My blend date is 03/29. My actual order date was 1/28, but I made a change on 1/29. Ford shows it as 1/28

Mine says convoy, which is strange because the ramp code says Union Pacific to a big rail yard about half a mile down the street from my office here in Port Allen, LA

I saw a post on another thread that said it says convoy between the plant and railcars.

Pushed back to the 3rd from the 30th after not seeing a WS yet and checking Ford Chat this morning.

All our WS's say convoy. I'm guessing they will update
