Think it’s pretty strange that “shipped” means it’s sitting on the ramp at the factory awaiting pickup. Shouldn’t be marked shipped until it’s loaded on a truck/railcar with the carrier info.

Actually.. Shipped in the order tracker or the email appear to mean a range of things..
On order tracker, the message at the top says.. In transit or on its way to the dealer.. However, the shipped circle is not checked yet for me..
But the VVS has a lot more information.. Including all the steps the truck is making in its journey via rail!

So the best course of action is to ask the dealer to send a screen shot from VVS..

Quick question for experienced folks in here. My truck was built 6/27. Shipped 6/30 and I have been able to track the railcar from New Boston, MI (7/2), Louisville, KY (7/4), and now Chattanooga, TN today. Is there some central point where the truck comes off the rail car and on to a trailer? Just wondering how close I may be (in Savannah, GA) to arrival at the dealership. The ford site estimates 7/26-8/1 but that just seems a little off if it's already in Chattanooga.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s different stages and what not. My dealer hasn’t really been the best through this after I placed the order. Seems like once they got the sale they’ve been blowing me off or throwing shade my way. If anyone could pull my VIN from VVT that would be awesome

Success! Koons Woodbridge experience was very good. Flight took off from Charlotte at 7:30, after an Uber from the airport (that they offered to cover), arrived around 10:00, out the door at 11 and home! Obligatory driveway pic

Well guys, leaving in about 45 min for the roughly 2.5 hr trip to dealer to get my truck. Paperwork done virtually. So, inspection - test drive - and handing over a pile of cash - then out the door for the ride home! Looking forward to it! Will post the obligatory driveway pics later today!!

The system doesn't have much rhyme

As someone who deals with logistics daily, their system is hard to make sense of to me. Mine and your truck are being delivered to dealers 2 hours apart, yours shipped rail, mine convoy, same ship date. My dealer claims 0 info on Mines location though.

Chat with Ford this morning, my truck just arrived at the local railyard which is 15 mins away. Now just need a transport truck to take it to the dealer! Fingers crossed within the next week or two!

Looks like my truck is coming rail, got the car info from Ford a little bit ago. On the west side of PA, but still expected 8/1. Hope I get it before I go out of the country for the next 2 weeks lol. Give them a call if yours shipped recently, might have your info as well.

Picked her up in Alabama this morning and made the 2.5 hour ride home! It was a great ride but already have a little paint chip on front passenger side fender!!! Here she is in driveway after installing Bedrug in bed!

 

[Fat Vinnie]

Picked her up today after a short 3 month and 1 week wait.
Dealer experience was horrible! Spent 5 1\2 hours of hell trying to get the agreed upon price and my $2500 Ford coupon. Finally settled with paying $1900 over and will be waiting for the Ford price protection plan refund…yes, NOT holding my breath for that!
Good news is, upon inspection, the rear differential and surrounding areas were all factory painted and only 11 miles on the odometer.
Monday morning I will be calling Ford to voice my opinion on the poor customer service.

I’ll be in the same boat as you, waiting on my price protection refund after the fact.
