Interesting Question: If your truck appears on your dealer's website as "New Inventory", does that mean you're getting close to it being delivered?
no, IME if it shows stock photos. Some "in-transit" show photos taken near the rail carriers.

Got the Built status as well this morning! Maybe they had all the ones with a spray liner in a separate row?

Congratulations! What date did your truck go into production and what trim did you go with?

My lariat w/ spray in bed liner is still in production (8/30), so I'm trying to get an idea of when my status could change

Glimmers of hope! That delivery date is certainly wrong (Spokane, WA) but glad to see the “Built” status.

Check your ETA Tuesday/Wednesday, if not sooner I think it's going to stretch out a bit longer,
historically loads to SC ran 17 to 35 days MY22 early MY23

My last contact from Ford was that email we all got back in August 31 saying they will reach out atleast once in the next 45 days. I don't have any update on my trucks status since then. Other than its still in production and mine didn't have the spray bed liner.

Are you train spotting by rail car number or using the trucks GPS location report?

Truck GPS. I'm lucky they didn't reset it before dropping it on the railcar it seems

Edit: it also seems to be a delayed update unless it teleported from Battle Creek to Chicago in the past hour

Cool, don't panic if you see it linger in Northern Illinois, the Blue Island rail interchange is huge and often slows the string before it resumes heading west & South and Southwest.
