Delivery from Dearborn to Granger

[HDT05]

Granger has a great crew as has been reported by those before us. I just made the journey back home with my new F150. One thing you might want to consider are temporary tags from your state before you show up for delivery. Granger provides an "in transit" tag. It consisted of one letter and a number. The state was so small it was not readable from another vehicle. It was written with a 30-day expiration, but the tag said it was only good for 15 days. I chose not to use any toll roads on my trip back to North TX because I didn't see how this tag could be used to identify my vehicle. I immediately applied for a 30-day TX tag when I completed my "transit". It will take 10 to 14 days before my title from Iowa arrives at my door. Then I can apply to get license plates. Maybe your state will issue a recognized temporary tag/plate based on your VIN before you show up at Granger so you can use toll roads without concern on your travels back home and even get a toll tag that will keep your toll costs low.

I just enrolled the 'Granger' plate on the NTTA toll tags...

Also I'm sure you probably already know but even though it's new it still needs to be inspected as it was bought out of state....

Cheers

Now that the thread's 5 pages in, can I get an update from anyone on the time between when your trucks were "shipped" and when they were "delivered". I think I've seen a few in the 12-15 day range. Anybody looking shorter than that?

Mine was 'shipped' from Dearborn according to an email I received on the 28th March and then I got the confirmation from Granger on the 8th April that it had arrived so I guess around 11 days....

I'm on day 16 - Chip confirmed yesterday that it is in Kansas City awaiting truck transport.
I'm hoping in the next day or two, it'll make the 3 hour trip up I-35 to Granger.

Good luck to you! Appreciate the responses, sets the expectation on a more reasonable delivery time frame for me.

Mine never showed "shipped". It was built on 8-12 and marked delivered on 8-15. It didn't show shipped until it was sitting on the lot.

According to the tracker, it's been delivered to Granger!. So, in my case, about 16 days from shipped to delivered. Compared to others who have been waiting for 6+ months, I'm super happy; less than 3 months from order to delivered. Of course, I've been waiting since MY22 but couldn't accept the numerous deletes.

That’s about right two weeks. Mine was built on the 12th and I’m actually picking up today. The entire route from Dearborn to Granger Ford was actually about 10 days. I’m flying in from out of state thus the delay.

Here's mine. It only took 3 days to go form Dearborn to Kansas City by rail, but then sat in KC for 2 weeks.

Massachusetts residents can legally move your plate from an old vehicle to a new one for 7 days, as long as you carry the invoice for the new one and something saying you sold/traded the old one.

I think the registry does advise carrying a copy of that law if traveling through other states because most (all?) other states do not have such a grace period.

I was about ~20 days:

Targeting a 10/24 pick-up from Granger and what's hopefully a very uneventful road trip back to Connecticut.

I just used the chat and they said it is awaiting shipment. Estimated arrival to Granger is 10/10. I placed order 1/1/23.

Really no excuse for these types of delays at this point. Good thing they have some differentiating features.

Close to what I experienced when I placed my order Jan 2022 and recievef my truck Nov 2022.

Mine has been sitting in KS for almost 6 weeks. I’m really close to letting them keep my $1,000 deposit and just buying locally, as there is a truck exactly the same as the one I ordered that is almost exactly the same price as Granger’s, that is 15 minutes from my house. It’s getting to where it’s almost the principal of the matter. I will end up paying $1000 more because I lose my deposit but it’s almost worth it at this point

Two Thursdays ago, I signed up for their ceramic paint protection, seat treatment, and windshield protection when I picked up my truck at Granger. The protection was about $1500 dollars. I thought it was a bit more than I wanted to spend but I have no time to do any work myself on the truck in the next two months and will be traveling back and forth to WY from TX with off-road excursions, so I wanted the protection applied while the truck was as clean as it will ever be again. I was impressed with the slickness of the ceramic coating plus the window protection covers up to 3 windshield replacements for 5 years. I checked and a new windshield is $1100.

I returned yesterday with 3,300 miles on the truck. It was covered in dirt from off-road and freshly oiled dirt from the unpaved roads traveled to get there. With the ceramic coating, all the dirt washed away with my modest power washer and I wiped it dry. The bad news (or good depending on how you look at it) is the windshield took a rock headed for my face and now will have to be replaced. So, the ceramic coating and windshield protection was well worth it.

I post this for your consideration.
