Train ride to SoCal

[Brandonhatch]

No but I was literally just searching the forum to see if there is a way to determine whether the rail car has been unloaded.

Yes. This is how you do it.
Union Pacific
1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123 1 800 877-5123
2. Follow phone prompts for Trace
3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example CN123456 all together
4. Listen for your update

The wheel swap looks good. I miss my Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT tires...

Congrats!

When did you know your Lightning arrived ?

Which OC dealer ?

Any issues with F&I pricing or financing ?

How did you get the tires & wheels upgraded so quickly ?

Thanks! So glad it’s finally here.
Arrived in Mira loma Monday. Got an email at 3am on Thursday morning.
I got it through Robins Ford. They were insanely cool. Earned my business in the future for sure. The GM was next level! Won’t be buying a Ford anywhere else. They did the PDI early morning and were ready for my by lunch.
I brought credit union financing and they got close to matching it, so I went with Ford. Price was set. I did all the application online, so my time at the dealer was like 30 minutes no upsell BS etc. Got it at MSRP.
I worked with Tucker Tire in Laguna Niguel. Ordered the wheels and tires a couple weeks ago. These wheels and tires are actually lighter than the stock setup. They are rotary forged wheels and the tires are the same wheels Ford puts stock on the Tremor. They are a lightweight but beefier tire. They are pretty quiet too. Go to then if you want deals. My buddy owns the place.

Congrats!!!!

Couple of things I recommend:

- Give them time for full prep, which looks like it should be done perfect since you are waiting until Monday

- Inspect the truck while they are making you wait for finance

- Don’t forget about your $500 deposit

- $750 Fuel Rewards

- Enjoy the ride home

Has anyone in SoCal seen a Lightning while driving theirs? I have almost 2k miles in less than a month all over SanDiego/LA/OC/Riverside kind of thought I’d see one of my fellow new owners.
