Got it. Thanks.

Looks like I will be convoy rather than rail. Hopefully faster delivery to NC.

What's your blend date? I'm in Gastonia so not far at all from ya. From what I've seen on here everyone is listed on convoy but still travel on rail if your outside of Michigan. That being said my blend date is tomorrow I'll let you know if I see any shipment info via rail or truck.

My sticker shows convoy too(blend 12/22). For VT, dealer told me they typically go by rail to Albany, NY and then are trucked up here.

My order is with Tindol Ford in Gastonia I'll definitely be watching for updates and let you know how the transport is being handled. It's been a very long year and half for sure with lots of disappointment because 2022 tax rebates and missing out on my employer incentive of 2k for buying a EV in 2022 which I'll more than likely miss by a couple weeks. I can't complain there are alot of reservation holders that haven't even had the opportunity to order the vehicles they wanted (Pro/XLT) or haven't even got an invite to order at all.

My window sticker shows a blend date of 12/19. I had problems pulling it directly from Ford, however this link worked:

Progress! If I could dance, it'd be happy.

So at this moment in time, all season tires. Did Ford close that shortage gap? Advanced Security Pack removal with $50 credit. Is that PAAK removal we heard about yesterday?

No that is not PAAk removal, it is the interior security and tilt sensor removal. I had to look it up to see exactly what it was, as I showed it also.

I am currently building a new Bojangles in Gastonia on Garrison Blvd, I plan on driving up to visit the job after I get the Lightning (we should be turning it over about then if the weather ever cooperates and dries up), looks like it may show up late Jan. Meet for a beer, maybe?

Haha I still don't understand why they tore down the original Bojangles at that location. That was the first place I ate at after moving from Arizona to North Carolina. We'll see how production and deliveries go and see if that could play out.

Same here. I had to use the ordertrack link to successfully pull it

The report above is from actual window stickers or just examples to demonstrate what we might see?

I tried pulling my window sticker this morning and it said not ready come back.

Convoy as well. Can we still expect 6-8 weeks from blend or have things improved? Currently sitting in a credit union for pre-approval. Unfortunately they only lock rates for 60 days so I might have to defer a bit longer Currently looking at 3.24%
/48mo, best I've been able to find.

So at this moment in time, all season tires. Could that still eyeballing it, it looks like mine.

I was surprised too, I had revised a bunch of 1FT6 vins to 1FTV in anticipation they would get the AT tires, (like yours) and low & behold they came out with AS tires.

Someone must of found a suitable alternative source / brand or a hidden stash in a warehouse!!!!

Most likely Rail first Convoy last few miles

Glad you could at least get the sticker link working.

Ordertrack.APP is not showing accurate information for the production status and actions, this is caused by Ford implementing a random requirement to use a Captcha test when pulling order status from Ford Vehicle Order Tracking-USA & Ford Vehicle Order Tracking-Canada .

You will be best served to use those two links depending on your location, the Canadians must use use the .CA site, while U.S. buyers can use either, the Canadian site shows your ETA when the truck is shipped, though you can see ETA sooner by looking at your private order page on www.ford.com or www.ford.ca when the truck reaches BUILT status on the shop tracker.
