It is a very dark color. I don't know that I ever posted mine, but I will just for comparison. Also AMB. You need good sun to make this color pop, but when it does it is one of the best. I'd say about 70% of the time it might as well be black, because it truly seems it is.

Thank you for the comparison!

Any word on your shipment?
Not yet. CN still says “released by customer May 16th” I think it means the rail car was given back to CN but they haven’t loaded it up yet.

I found that the trackers provide the info from the last time the rail line handled the railcar in question. You may be right…you may want to call the Ford New Vehicle Support Team (800-334-4375) and ask to talk to the Lightning Team.…better than my experience with the Chat agents. They can answer any questions you have and verify your rail car #/shipment status.

Still no truck for me. Second update on delivery says it should be here by Aug 10th. Some how I dont think I'm going to get this truck anytime soon. Very disappointed in Ford since this was a 5/23 blend date and it is taking this lone to get the truck to my dealer.

Hey here's mine, if for nothing else than to prove Ford didn't just send us all pictures of the same truck.

Keep your head up. I was estimated 8/1 - 8/8, got the call 8/4 that it will be ready for pickup 8/5.

Lets see how 8/10 goes....🤞

Just got another email from ford, this time with a new ETA of 8/26-9/1 (instead of 8/7-8/13).
Knew it was coming.

This is completely absurd on Fords part. It is staggering how much money they are costing people with these delays. Over the long run and interest rates going up its thousands of dollars times thousands of people. Ford should be ashamed of the shipping policies. Its a joke in todays day and age. So many people getting the trucks that were built weeks after the 5/23 group.

Hmmm. I've had my truck for a month but never received the end-of-line photo. Still, I suppose having the truck without the photo is better than the other way around.

Agree. - we are still trying to figure out how you got your truck out of Detroit in days and ours sat for weeks !

Just got another email with another delay. Good thing I had a 5/23 blend date. Ford is a joke at this point when it come to delivering. Third delay. For some reason Ford cant deliver a truck to the north east.

I hope you get surprised. I took delivery yesterday and it actually showed up last Friday, but was too busy. I got an email as I was picking it up that my order was delayed again! 🤣
These notices don’t make sense sometimes.
