876/887 here so you got me beat

I discovered long ago my purpose in life is helping others feel more fortunate than they would have otherwise on that note, you are closer to MI so you still have a chance to make 22 delivery.

Sorry, will not be by convoy to CO.

Rail from MI to CO then trucked to your dealer.

My window sticker and Ordertrack said convoy, but that's wrong.

Rail from MI to CA then truck from Mira Loma, CA to dealer. 15 days total.

Everyone has a window sticker and Ordertrack page that says CONVOY.

Any distance over 300 miles from the factory will get shipped in a auto-railcar.

You can track the railcar once you get the railcar number from your dealer.

I’ve seen people say that but where does that come from? It doesn’t seem like route logistics can be as simple as a saying anything over 300miles no?

The 300 miles is not a hard and fast rule, it's just to say that the cost of a truck vs rail is what will cause Ford to ship one way or another.

Sort of like paying 2 Day Air service for faster delivery vs. free ground shipping.

I’m new here, guys, and real appreciate all of the shared knowledge! How do you find out your blend date and what is that anyway? BTW, I’m 886/887 and being th optimist that I am, I feel like that puts me at the front of the pack.

Any idea if it gets to NJ via rail?

On the window sticker you’ll see a date at the top left of that weird table thing. mine says 120221207 and blend under it.

As far as a understand this is the date that the body meets the frame.

Thanks!

Mine is spraying bed liner? What is the significance of that?

Nerdy details, ... just how many of the weeks overall production will divert to the spray shop queue.

I am one of those people but was not in the loop with the tire thing. What was changed from and to?

I can determine by seeing the original or revised vin number, then interpolate the change using the validator.
