05/16 Build Week

[NewToFord]

damn guys, so sorry for you.

Just popped in to say hang on, I'm sure it's coming. I already did 2500 mi in 4 weeks, already have a windshield chip and bumber nicks, it's not a new truck anymore. But it's very fun to drive,

Driving to a campsite this past weekend(no TT), putting it in sport mode and taking the twisty mountain roads(North GA). My 9year old daughter says: "Turn of the radio dad, I just want to focus on enjoying the feeling!" I was so proud. My wife wasn't onboard.....

I hear Ramp 58 gets you shipped out quicker than 59 though. /s

Probably cause it seems like Ramp 58 is the railroad and then Ramp 59 is truck.

I was just kidding, but mine is going Convoy per my sticker, so not sure that tracks.

Sure just rub it in...I was hoping to have mine for a camping trip this weekend but don't see that happening unless it ships tonight and the dealer gets it tomorrow (Thursday is the end of this round of delivery window).

Convoy can be both, I believe it's how it ends that the consider. Cause for the most part it would go on a truck unless the dealer is next to the rail yard I would think. Cause @kevdog0710 window sticker says Convoy but I know he has a rail car number now from the Current Shipping Delays thread.

Correct. WS and ordertrack.app still show Convoy, it will leave Ramp 58 via Norfolk Southern. Fingers crossed it leaves this week. Each step in this process seems more arduous than the last

Ramp 59 is at Dearborn. Vehi-ship trucks take the trip from ramp 59 to ramp 58 at the rail yard, a mere 3 miles.

Gotcha, I was just going by this thread which says the opposite. Convoy is truck, but Rail is at least part of the way by train.

I bet someone at ford gets his darts out and throws at the word convoy or rail for every order and that's how they pick it haha.

I mean mine could be shipped rail still but to me it would be silly to ship it that way when the dealership is 4 hours from dearborn or 1.5 hours to the closest rail (not sure there is a yard there that would be able to support trucks or not) or 2 hours to Pittsburgh.

My third delivery email shows this week. My dealer told me end of July or beginning of August. I may try ford chat tomorrow.

I think the same dart board and guy for the convoy/rail things pics when they will actually get shipped and delivered.

Convoy just means how it leaves the plant. It’s kinda like a security check I think. Rail trucks cannot exit the main gates on a convoy truck.

i had convoy but loat many days on a railcar in various yards.

Fingers crossed it may actually be starting to move.

That‘s my ETA as well. Here’s to hope.

 

[Brego]

First update I’ve gotten in a long time. Looks like smoke but it’s possible there’s some movement.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Our ETAs have been nearly identical apart from my original ETA of 6/4.

 

[JoshuaL450]

Update of all the people on the excel sheet it looks like only @Wvmtneer , @Bannerman ,Greg, and myself are still waiting shipment for the ones that had awaiting shipment listed. Lost one person since June 30th...not cool.
