Train Carrying New F-150s Derails!

[spins4]

Well, my Lariat ordered Jan 21 was one of the unfortunate trucks in that heap of scrap metal... I am beyond words. Ugh

So very sorry to hear that. I’m waiting for confirmation that my order suffered the same fate. Did the dealer or someone else from Ford notify you directly?

How were you able to find out? I am sorry for your loss.

Dealer called me to share the bad news...

So after doing a little research, I see that Ralls County (the location of the derailment) is in far eastern MO. PalsApp shows that the final destination of my truck is Birmingham, MO (which is in far western MO near Kansas City). So I’m hoping that means my truck wasn’t on that train. My window sticker says CONVOY so I would imagine that it would be getting on a truck after leaving Birmingham. Does this sound right? Someone please calm me down lol.

My window sticker said Convoy...means ship by truck. Sticker would say Rail if not.

Not necessarily. My sticker says convoy but shipped by rail most of the way. Its only going to be by convoy the last 200 miles or so.

I received confirmation today, my order was also on the train and is a pile of wreckage. Not sure what I’m going to do now...reorder and wait another 6 months?

My truck came up from Ford plant by semi. Happen to know the driver.

Sorry to hear that. You thinking of a reorder or ordering a 2022? Any talk of some kind of compensation from the rail line or Ford?

You’d figure that surely Ford would prioritize y’all’s trucks to get rebuilt at least within the next week or so.

NOPE! mine said convoy and it came out of Dearborn to Jacksonville Fla by rail and then the last 70 miles from Jacksonville to Brunswick Ga by Truck.
