Like the train is chilling there or it's unloaded waiting for a convoy truck from there to you?
Mine is chilling in decatur, IL, about 150ish miles from its unloading destination in MO, for the past 24 hours. Still got a ETA for 7/28 as of this morning. It'll need to get to Wentzville and be unloaded.. and a truck convoy pick it up and move it back 50 miles to the dealer all by Thursday. Possible but hard to believe.

@Labs4Lightning this is the furthest trip by convoy we've seen so far 524 miles (that I'm aware of)!!!!

I think day 7 now of the truck sitting in Oklahoma City. Called for an update today, started off with the usual "I show that the vehicle is in transit", once I asked for additional info I learned that the truck has been unloaded from the railcar and is waiting for convoy.
Fingers crossed this thing can get delivered to my dealer this week.

I think the trigger here is Baltimore’s port. They can do a pickup from the imports if I were to gues.
the dealer also got 2 other ford products on that truck

Sorry for the late update. Had a nerve pinch and the pain makes me not want to type.
Are you listening @Ford Motor Company
first, thanks to all that shared their empathy for the anxiety on the longer than average ship to dealer. @bosox8 @F150ROD @Griddlez @Hamtech @SmoothJ @vbaker4444 @TaxmanHog
(I know I’m lucky to have 22 hours parking lot to dealer is rare when not adjacent to MI)
ford Tracker showed delivered this morning, as well as the tracker (I donated$), my ford.com reservation updated this morning to shipping.
no ford emails since built on 6/27. Will pickup tomorrow.
stopped by dealer this afternoon. Knew I wouldn’t be able to complete pickup today since SOC was 49% at delivery. Noticed rear tire lost 8lbs over last 30 days. They found screw, said replaced tire. Hmmm, hope no plug, since new truck.
locked my rate in before the .75 & 1.00 rate increases. They are trying to push the $800 protection package - no high margin there !
only sat inside for a minute, it seems nice. My biggest takeaway, without driving, is giving up the 6.5’ bed after 17 years of ford trucks with longer beds.
I’m trying to provide as much anecdotal info, that might fill in gaps or doesn’t have ford to track.
I would not have know it shipped except for the fact that I turned on secure alert for door opening.
they just called let me know I can’t pick up in morning because they won’t have replacement tire yet. So hopefully at 5 tomorrow.

Hearing you getting your truck is a great day indeed. I hope they get your tire replaced quickly tomorrow so you can take her home.

Greetings @Labs4Lightning
This is your dealer speaking. Unfortunately, we will not have the replacement tire in stock yet tommorow due to the chip shortage. We estimate another few weeks. Our technicians may add some miles to your vehicle for testing. Your truck will remain in our holding lot, its natural environment.
Sincerely,
Your dealer
