@meredith_texas did you pick yours up and all is good?

Yes, got back to the dealership around 6:15 PM and made it out by 6:45PM. They had her front & center, all cleaned up. I'm in love, smooth ride, and HOT seat heaters as to compared to my 4Runner. Happy to be a part of the cool-kids club now.
Any word from your dealer? It's gotta be coming soon!

Congrats.

Nothing from the dealer. I sent them an email yesterday but no response as of yet. I did notice this morning that the delivery range went from 1/4 - 1/10 to 1/3 - 1/9. I don't know how Ford calculated that the start range should be two days ago. Unless they are using their delivery roulette wheel.

Hopefully for the next couple of days. A bit frustrating that it takes more than 8 days to move a vehicle 15 miles.

I agree. Who is your dealer?

No new movement on my railcar. CSX says it's still in Gibson, IN.

From what I've found online, "Gibson" is actually in Hammond, IN, and it's part of the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad (IHB). It's used to classify railcars of new autos into blocks for western destinations. I guess that process is why our railcars stay at Gibson for a couple of days.

On the 26th my truck according to vin view was at Michigan AP-4G (4G) East rail Wayne MI.
Now vin view states
Michigan AP 4G (J1) Canton MI

so I wonder why the location city has changed and the code has changed. But still not on a rail car.

Yep, that sounds about right. Mine has been there since the 4th. I hope we see some movement soon. Went ahead and got a deal on a loan yesterday. It's good until February 19, so hopefully my Bronco is in way before that.

I also have noticed that CSX updates their system a few hours later.

Once you get passed Gibson your railcar will fly. I was amazed how fast they actually can move cargo once they get it all properly sorted onto the right line.

Looking forward to seeing that!

Heard anything back from your dealer?

I hope so, I would hate to see you secure alone. I’m holding off on financing until I have a more definitive timeframe my truck could actually get to the dealership.

They just said any day now but no real update. There are a couple of other folks who arrived at Alliance on the same day and already have taken delivery. So a bit frustrating but hopefully just a a couple days a way.

A lot of the time the wait until they at least have a truck load. They won't go up there for just one vehicle unfortunately.

I wonder if one carrier goes to one dealer or if one carrier goes to multiple dealers in the area. If its just one dealer then that would make sense.

Hello all, I was given a rail car number of BNSF303132 by Customer Service via Ford Chat. Can't get a location from CSX automated line, called multiple times "can't locate rail car" with that number. Just checking to see if anyone else here has been given that rail car number? Shipping dates have been bumped according to Ford email updates 2 or 3 times (can't remember exactly).
