Ford really needs better communication, for what it's worth. I got my truck last Tuesday and the site still says my truck is being shipped:

well I failed at stealing @CoyoteJim truck. Dealer said he is picking it up Tomorrow, but he said he'd be gone til Wednesday here. Foiled my plans.

Dealer did say "The first truck off the railcar is the last to leave the yard."

Which is clearly not the case considering that the 2 full trains that arrived before me had a handful of deliveries already.

I just got the call!! Just when I was giving up hope. I am told that it is a couple hours out from being delivered.

I am hopeful that there are other Lightning's on the transporter so all of us who are waiting for trucks at Ron Dupratt in Dixon can breath a sigh of relief.

I am very anxious to take a look today. Once it completes PDI and is all cleaned up, I plan on looking it over very, very carefully before signing the sales documents.

That's awesome, as I was reading this... MY DEALER CALLED... He told me they have 4 lightnings from LV in transit, mine being 1 of them... 4 lightnings just showed up... BUT 1 was going North & mine wasn't on the truck....

He asked the driver what was going on & the driver said they have a TON of lightnings in LV & haulers are in & out all day....

SO...AS LONG AS @gorwell IS waiting with me, I'm OK 😆

Also get this, A Lightning that showed up today to my Dealer... was on MY SAME rail! So we were unloaded together... but mine is stuck behind Gorwell I'm pretty sure

Sounds like there is a lot of action today. Here's hoping that we are all driving one very soon.

Still waiting on a call/update. Fingers crossed i'm on the transporter with you but am surprised I haven't gotten a call yet.

Based on the intel from @Sea Ranch I called the dealer. Sounds like my salesman was out on vacation which is why I didn't hear right away, but the transporter has arrived and my truck is now with the dealership! Sounds like 1-2 days for PDI, ready to pick up on Thursday!

Welp @gorwell ... Just checked the tracker and it NOW shows 8/9 - 8/15. Which means it didn't arrive today but maybe tomorrow or any day in the future... damn man
