Nice. That’s what I would’ve guessed. I’ve heard woodhouse is your stereotypical sleazy dealership.

woodhouse use to be as good they get and still can be. I think the bigger they got the harder it got to keep the customer first mentality.

Do they always leave by rail or are some 100% truck?

Mine coming to Wisconsin was just by truck.

 

[Blainestang]

Indeed! And that was a 1,200 mile journey from Detroit to the DFW Metroplex. Total time in transit was 9 days.

My truck is estimated to be offloaded from the railcar tomorrow morning so I'm hopeful that I will take delivery next week.

We only have two MY23 deliveries so far but signs do point towards Ford getting their sh*t together in order to get as many CY22 deliveries in as possible. Cheers to the tax credit!

With the speed they're getting from factory to dealer, we're going to get our assembly line photos AFTER getting the truck!

Seems like the photos could be more efficiently distributed! haha

So, who on the forum will be:

1st 2023 Lightning Delivered?

1st Avalanche Lightning Delivered?

1st Azure Gray Lightning Delivered?

(Whoever are the first with those paint colors better post a ton of pics!)

 

[Bigdogaz]

If it is convoy does that mean it goes by truck the whole way or is part by train? Can't believe mine would go all the way to AZ on truck.

Dunno, but I have an Avalanche coming in two weeks.

I have had mine since Thursday and I still haven't got my production line photo from Ford.

Most of the way by train, then convoy from regional rail yard to your dealer

I’m confused. Where did you get this level of detail? I just checked the tracker and mine has been in transit for 9 days and had another 14 to go. It’s a long way to CA so I get the time it will take but would love to be able to check details like you quoted.

Calling UP’s automated trace line and getting details from people about what their dealer told them.

The stoke is real. Confirmed my truck has landed in Ole’ San Antone.

MY2022 Reports (CORRECTED TYPO)

 

[RedLightning86]

@RedLightning86 Your truck landed!

Love that Atlas Blue! I thought about gold lettering for tailgate, as that would be Navy'ish. But the truck is too light for Navy colors, so Flag lettering it will be. Just looked at it on the lot while driving through town. Picking it up tomorrow!

Of note, there are no equipment deletes on it. Got lucky I guess with MY'22.

A little help please. My truck is coming to SF Bay Area, but it does not seem to be in the UP system. The last location as 11/12 was in Riverdale, IL . My rate lock expires on 11/30. Anyway to track this Truck?

Have you reached out to Ford CS? They can tell you which railroad the railcar is currently with.
