California Deliveries

I got the rail car number from the Ford online chat. They can give you a status update from your VIN.

I just chatted with Ford and didn't get much info. Here is what they said: "At this time, it's showing it was shipped from the assembly plant to the Dearborn Truck location in Michigan. No railcar number showing yet. That is all the information that is showing in our tracking system for your order currently. Please feel free to check back with us as often as you'd like for updates since they change frequently."

Bummer. I waited 4 days after getting my shipped email in hopes that it would give time for it to be loaded on a railcar. Guess I'll try them again next week.

Don’t worry, mine hasn’t been updated since May 30th and it’s still on Ramp59 either in the parking lot or in a RailCar that hasn’t moved.

According to my window sticker (refreshed today), I'm at "CA5A"? FordPass is still activated and it's not moved for a month.

I told my truck to wait for your truck Rod, so they wouldn't get lonely or separation anxiety. Their end destination is the same, so why not go together!

Candidly, I also take small solace in the fact that I know SOMEONE out there is going through the exact same frustration I am.

As a fellow CA5A resident I’m glad to be paving the train route for you . Maybe it will be quicker for you.

Perhaps not enough CA deliveries to make on the rail trip - maybe my Lightning is being made to accompany you two ?

I’m also CA5A …. Ramp 59 crew in effect

Just checked, mine is ramp CH27
Sorry guys...

Any significance with the ramp other then being a particular location?

I looked around the Internet and found this list of Ford Ramp numbers, although it appears it is not complete….maybe a new thread????

So his build date was 20 days before mine. ;-)

As I said mine arrived in Valencia yesterday. The truck is unreal-acceleration is mind blowing and eye blurring!
Since I have a 50 amp RV plug, I was able to get back to 90% in about 6 hours overnight. Not bad while waiting for the pro charger.

Don't forget when doing your contract with the dealer to tell them about the www.cleanfuelreward.com $750 rebate because it needs to be done at contract as a rebate. Mine didn't know about it and I had to go back and re write the contract today.

I'll post a thoughts, concerns, and questions post in the general forum shortly.


For those who are still waiting, keep in touch w/ Ford chat because they seem to know fairly accurately where the truck is each day.

Looks like Robins Ford in Costa Mesa delivered one today too.

Nice to see the CA vehicles arriving! And yes clean fuel reward comes right off price of vehicle. Tesla has this down, Ford probably needs coaching.

Question regarding the order tracker. @TaxmanHog pointed out that if you use the Canadian tracking site (https://shop.ford.ca/vehicleordertracking), it shows your delivery date as well (this works, see my screenshot below). My question is: is it normal for the "Shipped" date to be blank, even after having received the email saying that the vehicle has shipped? I assume this is normal but just wonder what others are seeing. (This isn't specific to the Canadian site, it does it for both.)
