Great, same exact combo and trim I have coming eventually. You mind taking a side picture so I can see what the rake looks like? I keep telling myself that the v8 is more raked

Do you have a rail car # that you can track yourself? palsapp shows null for every truck to my dealer, even after they are delivered

I do, but it's through CN Rails and so far I haven't been able to track it. I found a post on here with a phone number I could call, called it once and it seemed like I was going to wait on hold forever so I hung up and resorting to waiting. I'm going to poke my dealer this week and see what the VVR says.

Lmfao at these may builds that are ready getting shipped emails

Well it would make more sense to ship the newest orders first right? Forget those guys who ordered in December with less equipped trucks. They can wait til September

Palsapp hasn't worked for me either. I have a norfolk Souther rail car #, but haven't called or made an account yet.

You don’t need an account for NS to track rail car. Just call the number and it’s automated. Takes 2 minutes

 

[Majorplane]

When I get my rail car #, I can promise you I’ll be checking it at minimum 4 times a day

Was told by a nice lady at Norfolk that they aren't supposed to give that info out. That some newer agents do, but they aren't supposed to unless your name is on the bill. They may be trying to prevent a Fast and the Furious situation.

Norfolk Southern is able to track CN car numbers.

According to this post you don't have to talk to a human. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/3-14-2022-build-week.8136/post-209309

Okay the NS instructions worked for my CN Rails railcar number, but all it said was "The railcar departed MI on April 23rd" and did not give me a current location.

Hey guys the dealer gave me an option to choose this same optioned stx, v8 vs 2.7, but it does not show that the built icon has a check in the circle. I called Ford marketing and they advised that the Eta to dealer is 5/24. What would be the reason for the build icon to not be completed. Is it just a staging for shipping or possible chip hold. The one I order was ordered two weeks after this one and still shows in production and on chip hold til 5/21. Is this one a safer bet to get sooner. Cost is a few hundred more than the 2.7 but thinking the 5.0 may be less problems long term. Seeking you guys thoughts?
