Why is it that I can't track my truck on pals app or united road? Are there any other tracking sites that anyone can recommend?

Palsapp doesn’t recognize a vehicle as received until the day it's loaded on a vehicle carrier.

Hate to share this, as many are still waiting on trucks, but I was lucky this week. My original truck was going to be on a chip hold until 5/24. I found an unclaimed King Ranch from the same dealership that they didn’t know was in transit. It arrived yesterday and I finalized the paperwork tonight. I’ll be picking it up this Friday after they install the lift, wheels, and tires.

This second truck was really strange… My original one had like every option and was on a chip hold. This second truck again had pretty much every option, but didn’t have a spray in bedliner, no chrome package, and had the park assist removed with a credit.

First Truck
Blend 1/24
Chip hold until 5/24

Second Truck
Blend 4/12
Built 4/19
Arrived to dealership near Dallas on 5/3

Below are some current pictures. I’ll post some after I it get it home with the new lift, wheels, and tires.

Big shoutout to whoever developed the ordertrack.app! This is how I found the details on this truck to expedite getting a F150.

So, unfortunately my Truck has now been at the "Final Destinatio" railyard for 1 week and the dealer has no idea when it's going to be picked up by a vehicle carrier.

So, unfortunately my Truck has now been at the "Final Destinatio" railyard for 1 week and the dealer has no idea when it's going to be picked up by a vehicle carrier.

Mine was offloaded from the Norfolk Southern railcar at the Port Wilmington Ford Ramp on April 4th. It wasn't delivered to Chapman Ford until the morning of the 13th. The last one-hour leg of the transit took longer that the train ride from the Melvindale Ramp near Dearborn. I was checking United Road a gazillion times a day!

Wow - it's been a month since I posted an updated spreadsheet. Hopefully I can track the various updates. For those still on chip hold, you apparently have around 53,000 others in the same status:

Here's the update. I think I captured everything since the last update. Let me know if I missed anything or fat-fingered any info. We still have quite a few undelivered vehicles.

Thanks, Ralph!! Interestingly enough the revised dates appear to be holding within a few days. A few have been delivered earlier but many of us with initial revised May dates are…..still waiting. Really appreciate you updating this.

How is that new truck working out for you, Ralph? Anything new to share with us like is it meeting/exceeding expectations; are OTA updates working for you, etc.?

Thanks for the reminder!

So far, I'm really enjoying the truck with just over 2,000 miles. The BlueCruise Hands-Free seems to be working great. My initial impression was it was pulling me to the left, but I'm actually centered when I check the blind spot mirrors in my tow mirrors. That and the massage seats really made the 900+ mile, 15-hour trip from VA to FL relatively easy. With the 30-gallon gas tank, we only needed to stop once for gas and arrived with more than half a tank. Just about all highway driving averaging 21.5 mpg and 90 electric miles.

I was stunned on the trip back to FL because of a setting I made. I tend to have a heavy foot. In the settings menu, I set the max speed to be 20 mph over the speed limit. I also set the cameras to read speed limit signs. So, I'm minding my own business on hands-free cruising south on I-95 going 75 mph in a 65-mph zone. Next thing I know the truck takes off like a rocket and I see my adaptive cruise control now shows 90 mph instead of 75 mph. I didn't realize what was happening until I was on a local road doing 35 mph and the next thing I know I'm doing 55 when the truck "saw" the 35 mph speed limit sign. Bottom line - don't set the maximum speed to 20 mph over the speed limit with the truck reading the speed limit signs!

I already mentioned in a previous post about the Trailer Brake Malfunction dash message and alarm. Shutting off the truck and getting a meal at a rest stop reset the computers and it hasn't happened again.

I just took the truck into the dealer for a Reverse Brake Assist Unavailable dash message and alarm. It could be related to my passenger side tow mirror having been whacked and replaced. However, the dealer says the truck is throwing "all kinds of electrical codes" and requires massive updates that might take up to three to four days. I'm now in a rental car provided by them. Other issues include the powered driver side tow mirror not swinging all the way when opening the truck. It only swings back out about halfway. Service says the software updates will correct that - we'll see. There's also an annoying creaking noise somewhere around the driver's door when in motion.

Other than that, we really like the truck. I've added an EGR matte black hood deflector, AVS matte black low-profile window deflectors, TruXedo TruXsport roll-up bed cover, Husky bed mat, husky rear wheel well liners, and Husky mud guards. I'm waiting on delivery of an Amp Research BedXTender HD Max (u-shaped) with optional no-drill brackets.

 

[RalpL]

Oh, I forgot to mention - no OTA updates yet that I'm aware of. The truck is linked to my home wifi and I set auto updates for everyday at 1am. My SYNC4 info shows Software Version 21297 and Revision 253.

 

[RalpL]

A few other things that come to mind:

I replaced the whip radio antenna with a Rydonair 7" stubby antenna. Seems to work fine.

I find the Powerboost back-up alarm to be somewhat annoying. Although it is a bit amusing in a parking lot to see startled folks looking around to see if they're going to get hit by a dump truck or Amazon delivery van. They're not expecting the beeping from a normal looking pickup truck.

I turned off the proximity auto-fold/unfold running boards. They would deploy and retract everytime I walk near or away from the truck with the key in my pocket. I felt like I was going to wear out the motors! Even now it's still a bit annoying when I get out of the truck, close my door and by the time I walk around to the passenger door to open it for my wife (I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy!) they retract and then re-deploy when I touch the door handle. Wish there was a delay I could set.

As other folks have said about these types of issues - first world problems!

Quick update: still no truck.

Interestingly, on the US tracker, the banner at the top says "Your 2022 F-150 F-150 LARIAT is being shipped to AutoNation Ford Wolfchase," while the Canadian tracker says "Your 2022 F-150 F-150 LARIAT is estimated to be delivered to between 05/10/2022 & 05/16/2022." Kinda interesting. I hope the Canucks are correct!

Finally, some good news!! My Truck has been sitting at the Railyard in Baltimore Maryland for exactly 2 weeks. This morning, the "Destination" showed up on both the Palsapp & OrderTrack websites. Based on previous Trucks for "My dealer" from this Railyard, it means my Truck is being picked up TODAY and will be delivered before 12 noon!! Let's see if history repeats itself.
