Has anyone heard from people that have theirs already, is the delivery window pretty accurate?

Sometimes before, sometimes in the window, and sometimes after... so not really.

My delivery window has been moved up from 7/14 to 7/20, now 7/10 to 7/16. Blend was 6/15, Built 6/30. Still no "Shipped" email.

Maybe the stress on the rail and/or convoy system has been decreasing? What does your latest VVR say?

Three days ago, per my salesman, it said "awaiting shipment". That was the last time I checked.

I am in the same boat... just waiting on the auto railcar.

For what it's worth, the railyards I'm monitoring in MA just got a relatively big infusion of vehicles yesterday headed to the two dealerships whose inventory I'm tracking. Just for two dealerships, here's what's awaiting the final leg of the journey:

F150 ICE	8
Mustang	3
Maverick	1
Bronco	1
F-350	1
F-450	1
F150 Lightning	1
Edge	1
Explorer	1

All of this to say that it was pretty quiet leading into the holiday weekend. Onesies / twosies getting delivered to the dealerships and maybe 5ish awaing pickup.

It seems like the rail traffic is picking up so perhaps some cause to be optimistic.

Also saw a car carrier on my commute home yesterday with an Atlas Blue Lightning on the top deck!

How does one track rail shipments? #askingforme

Couple guys here hooked me up with this link:
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/united-road-logistics-faq.33829/

That gets you into the car carrier company that handles the vehicles from the terminal railyard to the dealerships. So I can see what's waiting at the rail stations here in my state waiting to go to the dealership of interest.

If you have a cool salesman (I'm 0/2 for useful salespeople on my current reservations), they can look up a rail car ID number, which you can then take over to CSX or the other rail company and track the trains themselves I think. CSX is east of the Mississippi river, there's another company for west. Separate google required to find the tutorial on that. (One main takeaway for that if you do it is to use the automated phone system; don't hassle real people for updates lest they shut down the ability to do it.)

I find it comforting to at least have some tangible visibility on what's arriving to the dealerships, rather than it just be a complete black box.

Hope it helps!

Yes, it will correct in a few days, BTW, were you using the US or Canadian version of the tracker?

I had been getting my truck's status from my account at:
https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId=XXXXXXXX
It still shows my truck as being sent back to "in production."

Both of the tracking sites that you posted show my truck as "awaiting shipment." Let's hope the tracking sites are correct!

ETA?

I keep being surprised of these dates for CA deliveries.

I wonder if it's ford being somewhat confident that that can happen, or if that's just an old algorithm at play not factoring in the shipping slowdowns.

I noticed that too - thought CA would be the longest due to the distance.

Maybe Ford knows something about expediting our trucks from MI to CA ?
Perhaps they use FED-EX cargo ?

Mine is scheduled for 7/22-7/28 delivery which is super quick considering it got built last week.
