22/23 Built and in Shipping Purgatory ETA (Estimated Time of Absurdity)

[Blackout150]

The truck is 4 hours away in an adjacent state. It should have one more train stop and then a 2 hour truck ride (if logic does not fail me)
A little hope that the latest dates will stick.

Wow. That is great. Maybe we will actually get to see that it exists!

Another delay, now 3/02.

Working on 15 months since order.
Truck will be a 7 month old 2022 when it finally shows up.

I received an update email with a 2/26 date.
If that holds, it will be about a month from shipped to delivered.
Dearborn to Louisiana.

118 days later and 8 emails from Ford that they will need additional time to ensure my complete satisfaction….. It has been confirmed by the railyard it’s been sitting there the whole time. The company that does the final transport had put in a request for a priority hold release to Ford 10 days ago. Yet it still sits. It’s not part of any of the recalls. This is a Granger order so should not have any allocation holds. Truly at a loss as no one can give any rationale reason for the hold….

Looks like someone parked WAY out from the front door for that pic!!!

Congrats! I arrive tomorrow for the pick up of my pick up.

Ford Pass Points Question anyone....do I automatically get them for just buying a new truck? Or do I have to make sure to tell someone to give me them? No idea how they are supposed to work. If they are tied to Ford Financing, then that won't help me, Granger ended up going with a credit union for me.

@F150 hopefull I am assuming you are driving back all the way back to Oregon. If so, what are you plans for doing anything in terms of "Break In" driving? I have about a 350 mile trip back home tomorrow. All I was told was not to accelerate too fast, or drive too fast. My trip is all highway, so I what's too fast? I guess will try and vary the speed a lot, and try and not go over 70.

Staying off major freeways. So going through all the small towns.
Break in process via ford says no very speed for the first 1000 miles

I am using the ford pass points from the purchase on my esp purchase

I did a 300 highway trip home from Granger. I did use cruise control, but used the ‘+ and -“ buttons on the shifter to lock out gears, then add them back to vary the rpms while driving. If no traffic or people behind me, I’d slow down, then speed back up etc. I also pulled off at many rest stops just to slow down to a stop, then take back off onto the highway. Was easy enough!

Will do. I have the App, and have added my truck. I just haven't activated it fully yet....plan to tomorrow, and do the modem thingy. I will probably drive them nuts with all the question and fidgetting around.

I will also have 5 hours on the road to mess with as much as I safely can.

 

[J17GT]

That’s only need if you want to use the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. The truck modem is active and will work with the Ford Pass app without subscribing to that.

Mine got moved to shipped on 2/22 so I am hopefully in the final stretch now.
