This morning the CA order tracker was showing as in shipment, and just now it's showing as delivered on my Ford account.

I haven't gotten ahold of the dealer yet, but it seems like it was delivered.

Woot! You give me hope. I have a 9/5 build week buy have been following this thread to see what the cycle times are looking like. 5 weeks looks like the inside number. Not bad! Would love to get mine in October.

Well my truck has made it to Cincinnati. I also bribed a local hotshot driver in the area to be "on call" for when it hits the yard. My truck is not sitting on the rail yard for 3 weeks. I showed him the birth picture and offered for him to be the trucks' "Godfather"

Hey @Yellow Buddy ,we might both have our trucks by the first of the week. Woohoo!!

It's called Optimism @bobrosco !!! Get you some my friend. (I'll probably return to my negativity after it sits in Kentucky for a week or so. You won't want to be my friend then.)

Calling, texting, refreshing websites!?! At the end of the day Ford will build, ship, and deliver your truck when it’s good and ready. I think no matter how much cajoling and pleading I do, it’ll show up at my dealer when it shows up.

On a more serious note, I’ve spent the last month or two wringing my hands and starting to second guess my decision to buy this thing and wondering if I want to drop $80K on a truck. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in a position in my life where I can afford it, but just the thought of dropping that kind of cash (my current 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 cost me $38,000), I was seriously thinking about getting out and letting the dealership and a lucky soul have it. Then MY23 pricing came out and slapped me upside the head and said, ”Hey dummy, you want this truck and they aren’t going to get any cheaper in the coming years so you better do it and do it now!”
I’m back baby!! Where’s my truck!!!!!

My optimism went out the window when I missed the 4 day delivery @TaxmanHog promised me. That seems like ages ago.

If it comes early next week, I’ll hit Stage 3: Bargaining. “Boss pls. Can I take the day off to take delivery? I’ll work extra hours tomorrow!”

I think I’ve got the timing down. The first leg of my trip the train averaged 22mph. I calculated the distance to the next hub (Demler, PA) and estimated an arrival time of 8:30pm. The train arrived at8:19pm.

Currently I’m anticipating it leaving Demler around 10:30pm. From there…I’m not sure if it’ll go to Baltimore or Washington DC. But if it maintains this speed, it could arrive at Twin Oaks by Friday.

Dealer still hasn't confirmed if they got it -- I think they do, it's showing as delivered on all of the tracking sites now. Hopefully delivery by Friday.

I just moved to in-transit this evening, maybe Ford chat was right with their Friday ETA!

Does the dealer take delivery on site or off site? My dealer for example gets their cars delivered about 1/2 mile away from the sales/showroom. They have their prep and detailing center over there as well. My sales guy wouldn’t have a clue until the truck was brought to the showroom lot.

I think it was probably delivered in the back late in the day and he just didn't know it was there.
