Good Morning All,

So this is fantastic news. Next step is bed liner then shipment? Have the Convoy shipments been pretty regular? I would assume I might see my truck first part of October if not the end of September or is that just wishful thinking?

Much Thanks,
Gwood

No guarantees, there is a possible rail strike coming which might affect truck departures from the plant, then when it arrives at the regional rail yard the back-log pending transfers from yard to dealer by convoy drivers could impact delivery as well!

@TaxmanHog don't think I am slated to go on rail. It is just convoy from what I can tell.

Assuming you are referring to the CONVOY on your window sticker, trucks going to Alaska and Hawaii say that.

Anything outside ~300 to ~400 miles from the plant will get on a train first.

Your dealer is 975 miles via route through Chicago to Kansas

@TaxmanHog Thanks for clarifying it is really appreciated.

Was reading on reddit people talking about deleting the tow scale and or smart hitch via the dealer as that can be a holdup. Does that apply at the phase we are at here (with modules built) or can we still be waiting on various chips and parts for config?

(FWIW I note when you are doing a build on ford website now it default check for on board scales and smart hitch removal)

I believe on board scales and smart hitch removal is only a MY23 thing

Yeah, people on F150 Lightning reddit forum were claiming they called dealers to get it removed from build to facilitate builds not waiting on those supposedly more rare chips. This is all reddit talk, I have no real information, but figured you all might know something here.

While looking at info about other Lightnings here in Maryland, I came across @mmcguirk's window sticker with RAIL instead of CONVOY -- the first time I've seen that. I thought all window stickers said CONVOY (obviously, I thought wrong!). I really hope Mike gets his truck soon since it's been built since June!!

Yeah - I have a tear tag!

Congrats, @sotek2345 !
Your post made me go check my modules again (20th time today?)...my modules have populated now! Woohoo!

Now I just need to wait for shipping, and see how much this railroad strike is going to delay things.

This is a new development, some one fixed the sticker generation script for the Lightning!!
