✅ 5/9 Lightning Build Week Group

Interesting. Mine has been showing as at Blue Island Junction, Illinois sinceJune 4th. It's still there, according to Ford's tracker.

Still showing up on Ford's website as being due July 1 through July 7 - but our dealer says June 18. Maybe they know something we don't?

Are you tracking that with your railcar number? I was able to get mine from Ford chat CS reps

Dealer said mine left Blue Island Yard in Illinois two days ago. Hoping for next week but estimate was 6/30.

Just going off what my dealer told me.

Mine has been at the body shop for over two weeks. Here is the latest report.

Dealers always default to "spray liner" when they don't know things..

Spray liners do not cause delays, beyond the 1-2 days it takes to spray. Someone contacted the company that does the sprays, they said they do not hold vehicles and generally them done within a day.

I think roughly half of all builds have spray liners in them. There's no systematic spray liner delays, there are just delays -- which in many cases is just Ford not updating the status.

Well it is not just the dealer saying this. I have spoke to three Ford customer service representatives.

My truck has been at the body shop since 5/16. Getting a spray liner is why it is at the body shop. So it’s logical to say the spray liner is a reason the truck is not completed.

I have never said it was supply issue. I have always said getting a spray liner adds additional time that appears to have no consistency in length of the process.

You can see the screenshot - I guess the bedliner folks just decided to keep dude's truck? Removed mine because I can always get one done locally, wasn't worth the risk given the state of the world at the moment.

Congrats - good news finally. I figure you'll have it by mid next week. Those dates have a lot of play in them.

Just called UP for my rail car# (TTGX159217) and it says schedule to arrive Industry (Which I assume is Mira Loma, CA) 6/10 at 6AM. So hopefully they can get it from Mira Loma to my dealer in South Orange County in a couple of days? Maybe I can get it this weekend!
