Hello everyone! Just looking for people's experience with shipping times from Dearborn to California. I want to plan ahead to pick up my truck but my dealer is completely useless with updates, ETA's, etc. My truck shipped almost 2 weeks ago from Dearborn. For those of you who have had a truck shipped from there to California, roughly how long did it take to arrive?? Really hoping for some insights so I can plan ahead.

call your salesman and ask for a Vehicle activity report. post the Railcar# from the report. if it shipped 2 weeks ago it should be at or near the closest unloading ramp. Then you start the truck shipping waiting game.

My dealer told me august 1st my truck was in Oregon. It is still not at the dealers. The dealer said they have no way of tracking when it will be shipped from Oregon to California but it is a days drive away. I don’t know how long it takes to find a truck that will meet all of Californias strict emissions. There are thousands of trucks on the roads in California right now but it seems the only thing they are hauling is shipping containers, or Amazon. I certainly would not want one of those drivers attempting to load my truck on a car hauler. I want it in one peace.

My original estimated delivery date was 7/4-7/10 and I'm still waiting. Last real information I was able to get from a railroad employee was that it was unloaded in Portland on 8/12. Order tracker still says it should be delivered by 8/25 but I don't believe it. Seems to be lost in all systems and no one at the dealer or Ford can tell where it is.

My dealer told me mine was in Oregon also. That was 3 weeks ago. Hopefully if enough of them show up they can fill up a truck and get them on the way. So far 3 of us has one in Oregon. They were probably on the same train.

The Canadian order tracker just showed up as pushing my delivery date out to 8/26-9/1. Dealer called yesterday to confirm it was still in Portland and no ETA on it leaving.

The United Road Trucking tracking has a bunch of loads going from Portland to Richmond leaving today and arriving Wednesday. It appears to be at least 10 different loads so far of 5 vehicles each. Fingers crossed its getting closer.

Picked mine up last week. I only had to wait 6 and a half months total from my order date. It sat in Oregon for 3 weeks.
