Well everyone, I got it and it's home. Still getting used to everything but pretty awesome so far. A ton to learn about. Appreciate the help during this long journey. As far as pricing, my dealer stood by the original pricing and didn't charge for the increase! Happy guy right now.

Fantastic!
Truck is beautiful…

Yes I got the email ! I’m able to track it now. It looks like they will be picking up my truck from Newark nj —-> old bridge NJ (all American ford )
So I have to wait for the rail car to make its way to Newark.

Looks like faps inc might have it now but not sure how to find out

I have no idea what wormhole they used but I just got a call from the dealer that my truck was delivered. So confused but also glad the waiting on Ford is over.

Can anyone track my truck where it is currently. It’s on some rail car. The other tracking info I believe is after it gets picked up from the rail car

You would need to get the railcar number from your dealer. I saw a thread on one of the forums that had the railway companies phone numbers to call their automated system to get updates on the railcar. I figured it wasn’t worth my time to bother my dealer, can’t make it move any faster! lol

So update on the f150 platinum. Picked up Thursday. 150 miles of driving so far. Ride quality is great. Blue cruise is something that will take adjusting to, but I see being very useful on long trips. I have used it only on interstate i85 and it has done well. B&O unleashed is "ok" but cannot compete with after market subs, etc., but does sound very clear and has some power behind it. Active motion seats are awesome, 5.0 V8 still feels great and has the rumble and power I expected, love the all digital gauges, love that cameras stay on at any speed when you press the button, but my favorite feature is the auto bending headlights. I think it is a "wow" feature that just makes the truck feel more luxurious and is super helpful on back roads. Overall with the limited drive time I'm still impressed and think it was worth it. Getting bed cover and linex sprayed next week. Also adding leveling kit to get rid of the rake on the front end. Haven't used the park assist or pro trailer back up thing yet. Probably will not ever use those features anyway. Overall happy with the purchase. Praying all of you start getting your trucks in soon. What a crazy journey it has been!

I would imagine train is much faster than a truck carrier would be

I have the B&O unleashed as well. When you say it’s just “ok” what are you comparing it too a high end sound system with after market subs ?? I haven’t heard it yet and I’m itching to know how it sounds. I’m coming from a ram bighorn with the basic sound system so I’m sure it would be an upgrade from what I got. However my wife has the 21 Durango with the upgraded alpine sound system and that thing bumps. It has a lot of base.

I am saying ok because I did have a high-end speaker setup in my last f150 that included sub, door speakers, etc. so to me it doesn't quite match what after market speakers can do. I will say, they do sound great, clear, have power behind them, and the sub does provide some bass at louder levels. Just not the same as an after market sub. I am happy with it though and will not be adding my sub back and will stick with the original speakers. Overall happy with the sound, but if anyone was thinking they were going to be getting deep bass, then they might need to look at adding a sub. High and mid range sounds are good though.

No such thing as "too much toolbox."
