If you don't mind sharing, how are you able to tell the arrival date? The dealer order I am waiting on is still in "In production" since 10/02

I'm subscribed to four dealers located in RI, MA, AL & LA on United Road , I receive an instant email alert the moment the truck driver & dealer sign off on the bill of lading when the vehicles are dropped at the dealership.

United Road changed their tracking process preventing retail / individual customers from subscribing to dealer alerts, so you won't be able to replicate what I have access to, also they don't service all dealers, your dealer might have service from another contract hauler.

Thank you! That was my go-to from my Mach-E tracking days, good times.

Ford chat ; not really accurate but It can help ; dealers do have an estimate of delivery too...

The ETA is shown on your personal order tracker when your truck reaches the BUILT status.

Once it goes into SHIPPED status, the ETA is also shown on the public tracker which I can see.

Really glad I found the one I bought vs waiting for the one I ordered. It’s been a great first week with it while the one I ordered has been IP since 10/7. The salesman was really sweet and showed me the basics, but there’s a lot I still don’t know. Wishing for a traditional owner’s manual vs the Dickensian 662-page .pdf or sitting in the truck to read it on the display.
I have my share of aches and pains. After a couple days of driving it around, my front neck muscles started aching. What have I done to myself now? It was from tensing my neck while testing out the truck’s 0-60!

How do you access the personal order tracker? I'm at built but no ETA is provided. I must be using the public tracker

Are you tracking a dealer spec order or did you order the truck yourself via FORD.COM?
Send me your VIN in a DM and I'll look up what the situation is.

If it's a dealer spec build, then you can only track it via the public tracker and see the ETA once it's shipped.

Ready for work. Bed mat, bumper step, rack installed. Tailgate liner ordered with my points. Tools loaded into frunk and back seat. And yes, I built the fence. Let’s go!!!

Just another data point. The truck that I originally ordered has arrived at the dealer:

Mine is stuck in production since 10/7. I’m hanging onto the reservation in case any of my homeys want to buy it.
