✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

Nope, ”Sent offsite at REVC”…its had this status for the last 5 days. The last CS agent I talked to seem to feel that this was an input error as the truck can’t be “offsite” and at the “REVC” at the same time

One thing I noticed about these reports is that you need to think of it as a check-out and check-in process. That being said, the check-in (received), currently at Ramp 59 is where is current is, but it checked out of REVC. So its just sitting in a parking lot... doing something.

As someone said on this forum - whoever wrote these statues must have worked for the Whitehouse - I find that so true since Ford Marketing doesn't even know what it truly means. They asked the higher ups as per the person I talked to, but they also got a vague response.

FWIW, I just test drove my dealer’s mannequin (the exact truck I too ordered) and I was able to look at my VVR. Mine shows it was at Ramp 59 on 6/21, then sent offsite to the Body Company, and now parked offsite @ REVC pending release………. My dealer has no idea what that last status description meansveither. Hopefully, I’ll catch up with the rest of my Build Week tomorrow

Anything under ETA DISPOSITION?

“ETA Pending Final Launch Readiness Sign Off Expected After Spring 2022”…….whatever that means.…maybe final QC checks?

I got a hold of the dealer that is on the same train as me and got the railcar number. Since my Vis report is completely broken it is the only way to track my truck now. Natalie was awesome, she worked with me amazingly when I called with my totally unorthodox call. Anyways, my truck is due into Salem, IL tomorrow to be moved off of Canadian railways to Union Pacific. After that I'll get the date it is supposed to be in Mesquite. From the last mis shipment, that took about 3 days to get to CA34. Hopefully I'm finally picking up my truck next week.

Yea that's awesome. My own dealership refuses to even pull a VVR. I'm glad your trucks on the move, nice detective work.

That's BS that they won't do that for you. That's what they are there for to take care of customers. I wouldn't use that dealer ever again if they acted like that.

It's even posted on their website they don't do it because they don't have time. I guess they got really tired of Bronco order checks. /shrug. Other than that.. they've been ok.

This is a very small tidbit, but I just discovered it. Since all Lightnings were listed as "Convoy" those of us in DFW had CA34 listed as the ramp. Truly since they are all coming by rail - a look at Ford window stickers in the metroplex that correctly list rail as the transport type all have "RA34" as the ramp. I truly figure this is the same location in Mesquite, but if you have any one give you RA34 vs CA34 - I believe that is the designation between Convoy and Rail.

So if there is a use of RA34 or anything else starting with R, they aren't used on the Ford Lightning shipping data. Out of 400 VINs that we are tracking on this forum, none of them start with an R. Everyone is CA34, CH80, and so on.

Correct - but every Lightning window sticker says Convoy, but we know they are going by Rail. If you look at some stock trucks at your dealer and check their window stickers, if they properly show Rail, I believe everyone of them will list the RA34 as the Ramp.

Since you are tracking yours based on another truck (I know it is another Lightning) if it were an ICE it might list RA34. Just another item to search for as you try to locate your truck and location.

That is correct. The truck I'm tracking is a Lightning Lariat ER about 45 minutes from my house. It's going to a Ford dealer in Sulphur Springs. The numbers from the tracker shows that mine shipped on 6/26 and that one shipped on 6/28. Keep in mind that these are the dates we found them on the tracker, not the actual date they shipped. Mine is estimated to be delivered on 7/24 with the other one 7/23. Too close to each other to say they are different trains since they aren't arriving everyday at the railyard from Ford.

I'm in the 5/23 week and received my built date today. I'm not on a rail car yet (that I know of) , destined for CA34 per the sticker, dealer is in McKinney, but they have estimated my delivery date is July 21 to July 27.

That sounds like you could be on the same Train as I am. Your dates lineup with my date and the other dealers truck date. Send me a private message and I'll give you the delivery date to Mesquite sometime tomorrow evening. It's supposed to transfer from the Canadian railroad to Union Pacific tomorrow and then I'll have an actual delivery date.
