My original early reservation is due next weekish at Granger. I had originally planned on driving that one for a bit then getting the Heritage edition once that was dangled. Still trying to decide if I convert on my 2nd reservation, but leaning towards no as it doesn't quite hit the nose...
What I have learned is the rail system is really funky and it's a two states forward / one state back kind of situation. I'm thinking those who don't watch any of the build and ship tracking and just wait for the dealer call have the right idea! Jelly of the near-ish convoy peeps, but then again...
I also have stuck around this group, (and I am also a great dane mom, LOL) though I am now in the 10/31 group (and awaiting delivery any day now!) Love seeing the updates here, especially ones like @HeyDobby's
Yes, moving:
Left Williamsfield, Illinois at 9 am
(Last night was in Gibson, Indiana)
back to going the right direction — and I think your theory is right.
Yes, will do. @crookedtail looks like ours are on the same rail car. Hoping we beat the 11/22-28 window, BUT if I have to pick it up on a milestone birthday, I wouldn't be mad. Though Iowa wasn't on the birthday destination short list LOL
Nov 3 7 pm update: Rail car is in Walbridge Ohio...
For both
seems right. For my Monday blend date I could see build modules noonish monday; then Tuesday noonish the status tracker flipped to “built.” Mid-day Weds the trackers showed “shipped”. Both the built and Shipped emails came 12+ hours later respectively; both around 3 am the following...
I just got "In transit" on the 2 trackers, though on ford.com it isn't updated yet. No rail info as of now. This just changed a few minutes ago. (10/31 blend/build). Adding these updates so others in this group have an idea of what may happen when.
Wow! That is crazy fast for anyone outside of Michigan — that would be awesome!
Are you convoy or rail? I finally got my build email at 2:30 am wednesday for my Monday build (with roof rack, that seems to add a day), delivery still at Nov-22-28 to Iowa.
i should've updated the image, but all the BCM alphanumerics were there when I posted. But anyway, she was scheduled for blend, modules on, and "built" yesterday. Still hoping to hear she's on a train soon. Official schedule says to dealer (Granger, Iowa) Nov. 22-27th
My green halloween monster is about to come alive! ALIVE!
I don't have the tear tag yet, but the modules have popped up:
(to check yours on blend day, goto this tracker (add your VIN) then the "view modules" tab https://ordertrack.app/order/?order_number=8782&vin=

So in bronco horse terms, don't put 'em away wet.
