Gah! It’s hard to see others with similar ship eta’s that have ship notifications already. Makes me feel like my ETA is going to be later.
It is funny the fits and starts of the group process to get delivered. Like a horse race of turtles. You think your horse is winning then I takes a nap to be passed by every one. Then it wakes up and sprints. Oh wait, then another nap. I’m in the same boat. Been waiting on train for 14 days now.

Dang glad I got a sprinter 🏇 Truly, very grateful to have received it. I think most of you have to be lined up in the next 5 to 10 days.

As you note, this is all just luck of the draw. I can't imagine how they truly "don't" seem to manage from our view from the outside, but hope there is some method to their madness.

Just checked today.. still no update since the 12th, so we'll be 1 week in from when it arrived in Blue Island and transferred to another railway. I'd like to hope by this weekend, but again.. Ford ETA'd beginning of August... seems weird it takes over a month to move from MI to NE...

Then again considering the state of things, I shouldn't be surprised I imagine.

It is reassuring to see the weeks before ours mostly have a date in the 'Delivered' column, and virtually all of those delivery days have been on, or before, their delivery estimate windows. Thanks to @TaxmanHog for sorting all the tracking info.

Last week's delivery window ran out yesterday, now have a new one for this week that isn't worth any more than last week's. Figured I'd take a short drive yesterday to my (closed) dealer to see if they might have snuck it in on me.

Didn't find my truck, but did find the dealer mannequin hidden behind their nearby Lincoln dealership, not feeling the Lightning love from this dealer.

Since our stragglers may or may not be home... where they should be NOW...even though they will be marked 2022's...are they not closer to the 23's and be considered as such ???

PS: for resale & trade in purposes !!!

No. The VIN dictates the model year. But, it is important to remember that mileage impacts value. This, a late delivery for an MY22 can have more value as a low mileage vehicle for its model year than an early MY23 that has high mileage. This is because vehicle condition and mileage play a big role in determining a vehicle’s value - all other things being equal.

Anyone know how to track this. Ford chat gave this this information but I dont know what to do with it. Your order currently shows In Transit-Shipped Convoy - Convoy # 2374874 (Vehi-ship Llc )

The spreadsheet doesn't have your complete VIN, so go try this site and see if it will give you info. https://www.unitedroad.com/delivery-receipt

My truck is also coming via convoy truck according to the Ford Chat. The Convoy No. is 2394457. I went to the United Road website and nothing came back for my VIN. In this regard, I think that Vehi-ship LLC is a different company from United Road. I wonder if Ford is engaging other companies in order to get the trucks out faster? The reason is that I received two updates from Ford (first telling me that the truck was "built") and the second telling me that it was "in transit/shipped").

According to its website, I just figured out that Vehi-ship is a drive away company that moves vehicles between two points that generally do not exceed 25 miles. Thus, it would appear that Ford Chat was wrong - unless there is another aspect to this company that is not advertised on its website.
