✅ 8/1 Lightning Build Week Group

[ExCivilian]

ExCivilian, looks like you are also in Southern California.

I think I am in a similar situation to you. Feels like my truck is stuck at IHB, or maybe that is just the latest information I can get. How did you find out it is being transferred to BNSF? Do you know how to trace it on BNSF?

Thanks

I called IHB and they were the ones who told me it was transferring to BNSF last night. A member has posted on the boards that he can track BNSF cars (only available to employees or "customers" ie Ford) because he works that rail but he's an employee doing it in his spare time so I haven't bothered him about it yet. I was thinking of reaching out to him in a couple days when it's closer to San Diego. Do you have your rail car number?

Thanks for the info. My rail car is TTGX702283. If you do reach out to the "BNSF" member, feel free to send them my rail car as well! If not, no problem.

My truck is headed to Kearny Mesa Ford. I asked them for an update last night, but I haven't heard back and not sure what info they have.

Thanks again

Anyone here have their truck stuck in Mira Loma awaiting delivery? Just curious because I have a 5/2 build week truck that has been stuck there for 6 weeks awaiting delivery to my dealer 1 hour away. Apparently a dispute with the carrier is effecting all So Cal dealers.

Are you losing your mind like I am? The knowledge that it sits so close yet so far and nobody is taking it for the final trip to the dealer is wrecking my OCD.

Almost lost my patience.

Hi from team 7/25....you, me, and @gapsd are all on that same railcar. My truck is also headed to KM Ford. I don't have any new info--I think our railcar was in Illinios as early as 9/9 but the info from Ford or the phone tracers now seems inconsistent. I'm guessing it's with BNSF but who knows .

I also emailed KM Ford yesterday, no response yet--but as you mentioned, I don't know if they know anything we don't already know at this point.

Both my truck and Whammy Bar's truck arrived in Mira Loma on 8/29. Both trucks arrived at our OC dealers on 8/30 (Mine dealer is Fullerton Ford OC). I don't know how I got so lucky, but your dealer should be all over this.

I'm surprised at how many S.D. people are getting lightnings.

I think we may be the highest concentration.

EDIT: I contacted someone to trace both of our cars

As of this morning last update is still the same 9/12 date for Blue Island, IL arrival.
And no word from KM Ford either.

TTGX853679- it’s not on BNSF rail. (and now IHR is saying they aren't allowed to provide trace updates to retail consumers...).

TTGX702283- Barstow, CA

 

[Sandag]

I called Mossy on my order in San Diego and they are expecting by end of month. That was all they had to update.

Thank you.

FYI @gapsd and @Bomar , the optimist in me hopes the car is outbound after the drop.

Salesman called me and told me the Lightning is on deliver truck and should be here late r today. They will prepare for delivery tomorrow. I can pick up Friday or Saturday.

Update 9/22: Ford.com shows shipped today. Also received email from ford.
