✅ 1/2/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Fuzzbutt]

Just pinged ford customer service and they said I'm on a module hold and that it's target date is 1/31. Guess a little more waiting won't kill me.

The dealership I ordered from kept tacking on fees. Almost 2,000 dealership charge, a vehicle conditioning (seats-tires-carpet) of almost 2,000. Which I couldn’t refuse. No trade in or financing fee of 1,500. Told me the factory spray in and tonneau cover wasn’t available that they would do it on site. Disappointed big time in Jarrett Gordon Davenport. Bought a new 2022 yesterday from Jarrett Scott in Plant City yesterday. Saved almost 10,000. It also has the heated steering wheel and bed scale.

Good call on the '22. I'm on the fence regarding actually taking delivery of this '23. I don't think it makes financial sense anymore with our nearly identical '22 not being worth nearly as much as it was when we placed the order for this one.

Just got my “built” email! Delivery estimate 2/8-2/14!

 

[Fuzzbutt]

Mine's showing as built in the tracker, but no email. Is there anywhere else to see the delivery estimate?

 

[jybell]

Assuming you're using the .ca ford tracker? It is far better, but it doesn't show delivery estimates for US vehicles. Instead, log on to the .com USA website and use your tracker there. Mine looks like this showing "built" and the 2/8-2/14 delivery estimate.

Log onto your personal order/reservation page the ETA for delivery will show further down on the screen once you reach built status.

While the Canadian site will only show your ETA to the public view after your truck has "Shipped"

 

[Fuzzbutt]

Ah thanks. I'm also showing a 2/8-2/14 delivery. My dealer said they don't have any tracking information though. It could just be out of not wanting to look it all up

YESSSSS COME TO ME!!!! Delivery range updated to -3days and +4days, now 2/5-2/18

@TaxmanHog - remind me; I get UP railcar info from my dealer? Then I can use the 1-800 automated system to track further?

Yes, or use the live chat via your personal order page, customer service can give you the rail codes.

@TaxmanHog so Ford chat gave me the following info "Shipped from Ramp 51 in Flatrock, MI on 1/25/23 via Railcar # TTGX158388 (Canadian National Railways)"

Which 1-800 number do I use for CNR? I didn't see it as one of the rail companies on the tracking thread sticky.

I'm not certain, but the letters for your rail car sound like it will transfer to Norfolk Southern, even if it will land west of the Mississippi in Texas, try them to see what you get.

When call NS, the tracking comes back with Indiana with November dates… sucks I can’t find a way to track railcar #TTGX158388 (Canadian National Railways)

Mine got to the dealer today. Heading to pick it up this weekend.

How can you wait all week?! My first Lightning didn't even stay at the dealer 24 hours before I got it
