Seems like an unconventional route given everyone I've spoken to or chatted with has indicated all Maryland deliveries are by convoy. But who knows 🤷‍♂️

At least you're on the move!
It does not fill me with confidence. The information on what's going on with it could just be plain wrong as well... It's probably going to the wrong dealership and will be some sort of nightmare for me. :rolleyes:

Maybe ask a different customer support agent? Perhaps they typed your VIN wrong on their end?

Not to be that person, but are you sure that's the case ? If people go by just the window sticker I think pretty much all of them said "Convoy" regardless if they're going on a train or not, only as of late have there been some examples where it actually said Rail.

I'll wait a few days but he did have my build and production dates right so if there is an error, I'm more likely thinking its in the system...

I guess I can't say that definitively for everyone in Maryland. Nonetheless, Maryland via New Hampshire seems like odd routing. But you're right, pretty much all window stickers say convoy.

Called


Called Ford Marketing, they sent me to a different number of 800-392-3673 (Ford Customer Relationship Center) They confirmed my vehicle went to shipped on 19th of Sep by Rail. It's last location was New Boston, NH on 22nd of September, no updates since then.

I did get the your vehicle just came off assembly line email like others today so that's amusing...
I tried calling the number you shared. The guy I spoke with acknowledged that my truck is built and awaiting shipment with that 3 week slip in ETA. He blamed the hurricane, saying it was delayed for the safety of the convoy drivers. I agree delaying for safety is important, but a three week delay seems a bit extreme. I’m not going to argue for anyone to put themselves in danger, so I’ll just hope ETA comes back to a sooner time or it arrives earlier than the current ETA.

He said ETA updates are most likely to occur on Wednesday or Thursday, while the lady I spoke with this morning said the same about Thursday or Friday.

There is also a New Boston Michigan and that is one of their rail yards. Mine went to shipped at a similar time. Can you get a rail car number from your dealer or Ford chat?

Damn that would make a lot more sense if it was just sitting there like that, good info. (Sad times but good sense) I'm going to let it go to the Thu/Fri for hopeful update before calling again, I'm sure we will all be here chatting on it!

When checking your car it says location New Boston since 9/27. 877-744-7279 option 2,1,3 say "location" speak rail car letters,speak railcar number, say "done" or go onto another car. Listen to status.

Thanks! I was going to give it a few days to check. I have a road trip for work coming up on Oct. 25 so I am good as long as I get it before done. It being on a rail car gives me confidence!

It is easy to check once you have the railcar number. The more places the instructions are on here, the easier for everyone. I will add that CSX is super easy to track

@Ian Here's how to get your current delivery ETA:
On a computer (not phone or tablet) sign in to your Ford.com account, go to My Account >> Reservations & Orders, and then click View
It worked! I was using phone every time. The computer offered more info. Estimated Delivery 9/30/2022 - 10/6/2022

Not to rub salt in, but I got my assembly picture today...
Tinting / putting film on that front LED-bar will be one of my first (of very few) mods
How do you request or access an assembly photo?

Just have to wait and hope you get one. Seems like they sometimes arrive a few weeks after you already have the truck 🤣
