✅ 5/23 Lightning Build Week Group

Ramp 59 is where it sits until going on a railcar, i’m pretty sure. it’s my understanding that It can be there for a while depending on railcar schedule.

Mine says ramp 59 and is still being built, just another data point…

Ramp 59 is vehicle purgatory...mine has been on Ramp 59 for well over a month.

I would have said the exact same thing 20 mins ago, the only update my vehicle had was that it was at Ramp 59 on May 29. However I called Ford chat (800-334-4375) just now and he says it's now showing at Port Richmond, CA (end of the rail line) as of June 22! So I bet yours was shipped already as well, but they didn't scan it or something.

I just reached out to my dealer and he said “I can no longer see it because it has shipped. I will ask the mgr.”
🫠

Order status site (both us and ca) still says “in production” though.

Nice, congrats!

I'm only 4 hours away from Michigan, so I would assume the day it's loaded, it should be delivered same day.

I called Ford last week, and this week is the current delivery window. My guess is all the May builds are blocking my April build lol

These are some very good updates. I'm going to wait one more day and I'll ping my dealer to see if I got a rail car or not.

I don’t believe the ramp 59 is specific to rail car. I’ve got that same code on my sticker and was told that status by my Dearborn contact a few weeks ago. For my shipment, I’m convoy and less than two hours away, thus no rail car. Would like to know more, but hopefully soon we will have some trucks

Ugh; I had a gut feeling my dealer didn’t know what they’re talking about so I called Ford and they said it’s still listed as “in production, pending final approval”. Just gotta keep checking email for the week!

I was told the same thing by my dealer on Saturday.

For you, you may truly get truck/convoy. So far every Lightning sticker has said Convoy although the vast majority have gone by rail. It seems Ramp 59 may be the loading area for rail. Mine was just moved there last night from the previous chip hold and waiting final release.

So I do think they stack up here waiting full rail car shipments to your dock/area of the country.

According to other Ford forums... Ramp 59 is vehicle purgatory...

This number got me connected with Lincoln but may have just been my fail navigating the IVR. That said these guys are way more fun to talk to than Ford chat, had a 20 minute conversation with the guy. Didn’t change the result “plant hold, last update June 12th”

got this from the 5/16 group, tried it and it shows a load number and a dealer for me

all it needs is your vin number... hopefully its true...

 

[jmrdmd]

I just tried it. I have a load number and my dealership listed.
Thanks for the information!!

 

[LightningShow]

Ok, but what does the “load number” tell you?

 

[MickeyAO]

No joy when I input my VIN...doesn't look like the search button changes color to allow a search. But then again, I'm expecting rail to San Antonio before a convoy to my dealership.
