More conflicting info! I confirmed with Ford cs that my ETA shows 12/22-12/28. However they gave me the same rail car number/info and said it was still in Blue Island, IL. I have tracked it many times and it says “arrived” in Bakersfield on the 28th. Hoping that we get our trucks much sooner than the ETA that just populated!

If you were on my train, it arrived at Port Richmond yesterday.

My rail car number is CTTX692673 so I think it is a different one. It just says it arrived in Bakersfield when I track it.

Is that the same BNSF train CSX reports departing Dagget 11/27? CSX tracking still has no update for me.

Well, since I posted in despair a few hours ago ;), my status changed to built with delivery in a couple of weeks!

In the category of "More conflicting info!": Dealer just confirmed 11/22 Blue Island/Blue Cheese status. As if the trucks have just been sitting in IL since 11/18, when they were originally reported as shipped with associated railcar #s. So no help there.

I've moved the conversation to confirming original order pricing + Private Offer since that appears to be Battle Stage 11. . . . All starting to make me wonder why none of my prior 12 cars were Fords . . . .

this is my first ordering experience so this is all new to me. Seems like it could be streamlined though…

My dealer just texted me and said it is due to be delivered to Richmond this week! Hoping to pick it up next week!
Great news!!! And since you recently received the same 12/22-12/28 ETA that other Team Nor Cal members have received, hopefully this means we should all be hearing the same news soon. Fingers crossed.

Great News. It will probably take another few days to week, to get mine from Richmond after you get yours!

Finalized the deal over lunch, now off to the credit union, hoping to pick up the truck tonight!

My dealer was awesome, super straight forward and low pressure. They applied the $6500 for the Private Offer with no issue. I rolled snow tires and a bed liner into the deal.

Only bummer is one of the running boards is all scuffed up. They're going to replace at no charge once the part comes in.

Hope everyone's trucks come in soon.

They are separate entities. Price protection is not the same or equivalent to or in place of the private offer. Hold the line men!
