Pics or it never happened.

^^^^ Right - I uploaded some pics of mine and it hasn't even been delivered yet! ?

The railcar has been at the Enola Classification Yard near Harrisburg PA since Thursday. I have Norfolk Southern on speed dial which makes it easier to check 4 times a day. ? Okay, 6 times a day, maybe 8.... ?

Well, today is the 30th, no truck at the dealer. They checked the VVR and advised of an ETA of 29 March-04 April. The dealer also said there was no rail car number assigned yet. This may be a stupid question so forgive me, because I know nothing: The window sticker shows CONVOY and the dealer is looking for a rail car number. Is it usually a combination of transportation methods?

Got an email from Ford @ 8:00pm tonight/Saturday with an updated delivery of 7 April- 13 April.

I tried loading my window sticker for the last two days and got nothing. Both the tracker and the chat feature said the truck is "built" and awaiting shipment. Supposedly it's at Ramp 51 in Flat Rock, MI. I'm starting to think it's another production delay that Ford wants to hide.

Per the Ford tracker, my F-150 Lariat Powerboost has been shipped!!! Hopefully it won't take too long. It shipped from Ramp 51 in Flat Rock, MI.

She’s a beauty. This PB is wild. Been driving it for 2 days and miles to empty has gone up!

My ETA of May 16 - May 22 hasn’t changed since it was producted on Jan 25 except when it went into chip hold on Feb 25 and the VVR showed an ETA of Apr 4 - Apr 10, but then it changed back to the May dates.

My truck is currently in a Norfolk Southern railcar at their Enola Classification Yard near Harrisburg PA since Mar 31. It will be delivered to the Port Wilmington Ford Ramp in New Castle DE for further transfer on truck by United Road to Chapman Ford of Horsham PA.

Surely it won't another 7 weeks to go the last few hours - would it? ? Perhaps the April dates were actually correct! ?

Friend of mines lariat from this week is finally showing “built” as of 4/2.

 

[PGPowerboost]

My truck is now showing up at the ramp in Pearland, TX about twenty miles from the dealership per Ford marketing. Sounds like it’s in good company as well. @mrgoalie

The Norfolk Southern status of mine changed this morning at 8:45 - railcar TTGX-996577 arrived at the Port of Wilmington DE Ford Ramp. We'll see how long it takes to offload. VIN still shows as Inactive on the United Road tracking site. Four other F-150s have been there the last couple of days awaiting transport to Chapman Ford of Horsham PA. Since I can see all of their pending deliveries, I'm astonished how many Maverick trucks they have been receiving.

Maybe we’ll be picking up our trucks together! lol

Mine’s showing as pickup pending since 3/31, hoping it gets to Chapman soon.

You’re correct about the Mavericks also, more of those and Explorers than F150s going to Chapman.

That would be cool! We started this thread in early Dec and then your build day started getting pushed off. Who would have thought there was still a possibility of picking up our trucks at the same time. You were fortunate to escape the chip hold the rest of us experienced and some are still experiencing, but your build delays linked us back up.

Even if mine moves to Chapman this week, the earliest I can get there would be next week.

Edit: I see United Road indicates your Order Type is "Load Child." What is that?

Load child? I’m not seeing that anywhere. I tried searching my order a few different ways and the only thing I see is “pending pickup”. Maybe my account is set up differently?

Hit the down arrow next to the track button. It will show below your VIN.

Ok, I see that now. Some are listed as individual and some load child. Not sure what that means, I tried google but nothing…

Hey RalpL,

I'm in the same situation. Put a deposit on a dealership order, was built on 1/24, but no changes, so I assume it's on a chip hold. How are you finding the rail information? From the dealer?

Can you search the rail for my truck? Vin: 1FTFW1ED9NFA11948

We can add you to our spreadsheet if you're interested. I last updated it on Mar 26 in Post #1123 on page 75.

The best way to get detailed info is to request a VVR Full History screenshot from your dealer. It should show whether you're on chip hold, parked at one of the Ramps around the assembly plant, and the railcar number if it's been loaded on a train. If it shows the railcar number, check out the history of this thread (starting from the latest and going backwards) and you'll come across how track the railcar if it's Norfolk Southern or CSX.
