same with mine. blend of 10/26 been on chip hold since. ive come to the conclusion that if I don't Get a 22 delivery im backing out and getting something else. I refuse to pay an extra $15k because ford took to long.
another thing that's frustrating is it had dates for the chip to come (by 11/21) which it has not and now when I contact ford CS it now has a delivery window of 12/13-12/19 but its still on micro chip hold.

Hey Oregonian railcar bros (@timwren, @granfaloon, @pdxmadman),
Our railcar is currently on BNSF tracks, which means that we don't have very good tracking capability. It seems like neither Ford nor our individual dealers will have any information until it's picked up by the "last mile" convoy.
However, I might have some inside information. Take this with a grain of salt, but:
Departed from Minot, MN en route to Portland Terminal Six, OR
Evening of 11-20 - Kremlin, MT
Morning of 11-22 - Hauser Yard, ID
Kremlin, MT to Hauser Yard is roughly the same distance it has left to travel to get to Portland Terminal Six (around 400 miles). So my uneducated guess is another 24-36 hours before it arrives at the terminal.
In theory, we could have convoy information as soon as tomorrow. Or, maybe not until next week. Or maybe never! Who knows!

My point was that the truck was built on 11/7, and Ford couldn't give me any ETA until it got to the outskirts of town. FWIW, I don't expect it to be at the dealer ready to pick up for another week.Shorter than December 29th

It’s finally real. Picked it up this afternoon. No problem with the dealership but they did have to figure out how to handle the reservation and deposit. Initially it didn’t show up on the contract but they found it online and applied it. Love it so far but I’m going to need to do a lot more studying to figure everything out.

so by the looks of this my truck is ready to be picked up by a convoy to be dropped at the dealer
This list tells you the process and what happens
Sent Plant - The VIN has been sent to the plant for Production
Body Shop - Everything from the assembly of the body to paint. When it comes out of the Body Shop it is a painted body with doors, hood and trunk lid.
Trim Line - This should be called final assembly, this is where the car goes from fully painted car body to a Produced car. This normally takes 1- 5 days depending on when the car goes into Trim. If it goes into Trim late Friday it should roll off the line Produced on Monday or Tuesday.
Produced - The car is now built. If it is a base car it will go directly to Released Awaiting Shipment, if it is getting vinyl stripes or a CFTP car it will go to the Mod Center.
Mod Center = All cars with vinyl stripes and all CFTP cars (wheels and rear wing) go to the Mod Center, this could take 1-2 weeks.
Released to Body Company (Penske) - Painted Stripes, could take 2 or more weeks.
Returned from Body Company (Penske) - Car is returned to plant for Release for shipping.
Released - Awaiting Shipment - The vehicle has been released from the plant to a carrier and is awaiting shipment. Car is released from the plant for shipment.
Received - Awaiting Shipment - The vehicle has been received by a carrier at a ramp location. The yard location may display. The carrier name displays in parenthesis.
Shipped Rail - The vehicle has been shipped from the plant via rail. The railcar number displays. The carrier name displays in parenthesis.
Shipped Convoy - The vehicle has been shipped from the plant via convoy. The convoy number may or may not display. The carrier name displays in parenthesis.
Shipped from Plant - Car was loaded onto a trailer and trucked to another railyard for shipment by rail.
Arrived Rail - The railcar/vehicle has arrived at a mixing center or ramp and is available for unloading. The railcar number displays. The carrier name displays in parenthesis.
Received - In Transit - Car has been received by a carrier for final delivery to your dealer.
Delivered - What can I say, this is the word everybody waits to see. This is the end of the trail for a lot of people that have waited a very long time.
