If it makes you feel better my ETA was September and a week later my truck had been delivered to the dealership.
Did OrderTracker give you any indication it was shipped?

BTW, you are still showing orange in the tracker.

Now: '13 XLT 4x2 Soon(?): '22 501A Sport SCrew FX4
My truck appears to have spent the better part of this week at a rail transfer in Blue Island, Illinois according to Ford. The rail carrier hotline I called last week gave me an Indiana location for the railcar. Which begs the question: does the vehicle remain on the same railcar all the way through transit, or could it have been moved at a yard somewhere? Because I started on a Canadian carrier but the junction it has been parked at is a BNSF line. I'm kind of ignorant as to how rail transport works.

And at this point I assume ordertrack won't update me until its delivered (if then, even). It still shows absolutely no shipping information other than a "rail" designation. Had to get the rail car number from Ford when they confirmed it shipped last week.

Mine is the same. BNSF runs through Montana (where my truck is going), but BNSF from the map I saw doesn't go into Michigan. So my guess is that they are currently switching from whatever rail it was on to BNSF so that it can continue the journey west.

No it didn’t, until it showed as delivered. I’ll get that updated now.

It was delivered to the dealer two days ago, I haven’t picked up yet the dealer hasn’t told me it’s officially ready yet.

How do you know if a module is missing? Mine populated on 5/13, but I cannot tell if/what if any is missing. I see a few modules only have the Address and first Instructions column populated, but the last two Instructions column's blank. There's a few that have the first two columns populated, but the third blank. My dealership told me Friday I was on chip hold, but couldn't tell me what it was related to exactly or any ETA.

Well, maybe since my name is Adam as well, I’ll get that kind of turn around time too. ? Of course, Atlanta, Ga is a bit further from Mi than Oh is.

I can’t tell you that, but I can tell you modules appearing on the app aren’t always accurate. Several members have taken delivery without the modules ever populating on the app. Edit to say that even though they never populated, they were actually installed.

Checked with Ford chat this morning, I was worried even though mine shipped this weekend, that it was still sitting there (lots of horror stories about being shipped for 2 months while the truck is still in Michigan). They told me it was in Illinois as of Tuesday. So it has in fact, actually shipped!
It's been over a week since my truck hit the VOLTZ yard in Birmingham. I've been told it's on Ramp 6p now, but still no rail car.

I'm pretty confident it's not moving until next Tuesday at the earliest at this point.

I think/hope Fords ETA's are now based on max time for their contracts.

I don't know how @Severdog obtained this information.

But if I'm betting, there's a similar "must deliver" by contract for the rail companies, so Norfolk Southern will put my truck on the last possible train they can for delivery to meet contract demands, hopefully the trucking company at the end of my trucks transit is more proactive to deliver....

Yeah based on the timeline for delivery (only consistent dates they've ever given me) I'm assuming it will sit in Illinois for a while. I'm just glad it made it out of Michigan. Baby steps.

The good news is it's built and on the road so the build bumps are a thing of the past for you.

That would make sense. Under promise and over deliver on dates would be smart because they can't control the delivery logistics except contractually. It makes things frustrating for us but at least they (Ford) would not miss the promised date and likely get it to us earlier than expected.?

The delivery times compared to built dates make absolutely no sense. I’ve given up on even trying to guesstimate. 5 folks could have same blend/build dates and one will get his in a week, while the other 4 sit on the lot for weeks/months. I’m beginning to think that Ford is run by former government workers.
