10/24/22 - Build Week - MY 23

[Matt99]

So just 2 delivered out of 8 shipped?

Seems like it. A few guys on the Raptor forum got theirs delivered this week...but all were dealerships close to Dearborn.

We knew that shipping was going to be a holdup, but I didn't realize it was going to be 30+ days considering it's a singe day drive to the factory.

So the Ford email yesterday says shipped. Just for the hell of it I talked to Chat and asked if she knew the location. Surprisingly she says rail car number xxx Canadian Railways. Is this normal for a truck going to AZ? Wish I could track CN.

I was told railcar UP 801209 (Canadian National Railways) but am able to track it via Union Pacific.

It hasn't moved since 11/20 though according to them. Stuck in Blue Island, IL. Mine should be going to TX then LA so it would make sense for AZ too.

It hasn't moved because it's waiting for my truck! My wife's explorer was built in Chicago and I remember the train went to Blue Island after it left Chicago so that must be a big Ford train hub.

Yea I’ve seen it’s a big interchange where you can lose weeks.
The weird thing is that I got a message from VinView saying it was in the final rail location early last week

Maybe they have a westbound train filled with f-150s that leaves every 2 weeks. Hold that train I'm on my way!

Congrats!

Congrats!

I found someone with a rail tracking login (Uncle that owns a factory with rail service) and he tracked my railcar. Ford Chat says Blue Island, IL still, since 11/20ish. Union Pacific hotline says Fusile Industrial (sp?) interchange since 11/21ish.

He shows me as being in Pearland, TX (my final rail hub) for at least 5 days, which mimics the VinView message on 11/28. Now, that doesn't mean much because I've seen reports of 15-20 days there waiting on a truck....but it is pretty crazy to see how inaccurate these billion dollar companies are at tracking inventory locations.

Congrats!

No way they sent a single F-150 to granger ... who else is showing final prep.

As of Friday, I was still “railcar arrived Voltz” status.

Yeah really. Maybe they should hire amazon. They show me when my package is around the corner.

Hopefully a quick turn there! Ford has to be pushing hard for delivs and Q4/Year end revenue!

not hard enuf !! hell, I would fly to Dearborn to pick up mine. my dealer says it passed QC and is waiting to be shipped

I’m not sure I believe this!

Congrats! But also what the heck! I have a very similar build that is also going to Granger but has been sitting in the KC rail yard for over a month now! Your truck probably passed right by mine in the rail yard laughing all the way….. This really makes no sense now.

I’m sure you did, but you checked tracker today day? I randomly checked today and it showed built.

100% agree ... builds and ordering of delivs don’t mKe sense.
