So, I got a nice surprise this week when we finalized the finances.....$2500.00 rebate. Yeah baby. Putting some towards an ESP.

Nice....unfortunately, Ford does not offer that rebate for all trim levels.

I can only hope. (And will use it the same way...)

Well……my Ford Pass activation was denied so they are moving it around anyway lol

Here is the shipping process from Dearborn to Granger. Convoy to Melvindale (suburb of Dearborn), then the big rail trip to Kansas City, convoy from KC to Granger.

Confirmed via Ford Chat this morning that while my window sticker says Convoy its definitely on a Norfolk Southern train... I am guessing it will be on a Convoy at somepoint as I dont think there are any major yards anywhere close to my dealer.

Mine was the same last week Sunday. It ended up being moved to built on Tuesday shipped Wednesday and arrive at the dealership on Friday.

Hopefully yours is the same.

If I understand it correctly, the sticker only tells you how it leaves the plant. Mine leaves the plant on a truck but only for 4 miles to the train station in Melvindale. Then it heads to KC on the train and gets trucked the final 3ish hours to Iowa.

That makes sense. I’ve seen way more window stickers that say Convoy than I would have thought and was scratching my head as to why they were not using more rail transport

How long did you all spend in the “built” stage before it moved to “shipped”?

@wyoming

5) 5-22-2024 Tracker switched to built. "Your vehicle has been built and we are arranging shipment to your dealer."

6) 5-28-2024 Tracker switched to shipped. Dealer also sent me an email the same day that they are in possession of my truck and they are inspecting it.

Thanks! Only been a few days but was trying to get a feel for when I should expect it to ship.

Mine was sent to Granger if that helps. Flying on the 14th to pick it up. A lot to do beforehand, and this coming weekend would be cutting it too close.

I have no idea actually.

Your window sticker will say “KAN” or “DRB”. It’s also the 11th digit of your VIN.
