For those wondering on financing - CAFCU Credit Union - signed up by donating $5 to a charity they work with. 0 down, financed ~$79k @2.24%. had to pay ~$9k out of pocket for tax title etc for the privileges of living in CA. Loan was funded 2 days with a check in the mail after sending over the purchase order from the dealer when I took delivery. Pretty smooth, mostly done via email and DocuSign with a few verification calls.

They update their rate monthly from what I understand. I started my process with them 2 months?? (July ish) prior to delivery. They locked the rate and just checked in every couple weeks.

Im going with them as well. Have had my rate locked since July.. my truck has been sitting in a rail yard in Newark awaiting train sport to dealer for 7 days now

I’m locked with ParsonsFCU at 2.29 but I think the lowest now is 2.49. USECU in San Diego is still 2.44.

I’m not sure if this is even possible, but Union Pacific trace line reports that the train was emptied in Milpitas, California yesterday. I say I’m not sure that it’s possible because Ford Chat said it was in Eola, Illinois on Friday. Fingers crossed that it’s true and we’ll be bringing home our new baby sometime later this week!

Could not wait any longer.

I can see @mwkincaid1 is in Elk Grove, I am in Folsom, both are in Sacramento metro area. So our trucks should be on the same train and convoy truck.

Thank you @TaxmanHog !

I wonder if we were all on the same train? Have you tried tracking your train car?

Not yet, your truck was shipped one day earlier so I don’t think they are on the same train.

shipping status dates, does not imply rail string departure day, they might spend 2-3 days building a transcontinental run.

It shows a built date of 08/18/22 and shows shipped. Email shows a deliverly date of 09/07 to 09/13/22. But with the dealer I chose, who knows when it will show up.
