Yeah, mine did some crazy stuff, ended up going straight west across Illinois before coming down through Iowa. Arrived in KC last night - not I've just gotta hope a truck picks it up quickly to get it the last 120 miles! Don't get too worked up about the route it takes - trains travel a whole...

Wear and tear is an old, outdated argument against AS/S. The acceleration things used to be much more true than it is in new cars now. It's only an issue if you want it to be an issue. All that said, I know people don't like it, and I certainly don't care if someone does or doesn't. I just...

Mine was at Blue Island for a couple of days. Transferred to Norfolk Southern there. Then went back to Indiana, transferred to a different train, then back to a different railyard IN CHICAGO! Fortunately I'm now on the move and have made it across Illinois into Iowa. Hoping it's moving south...

Trains are painfully slow at times. Logistics with thousands of vehicles is hard. While we've all been waiting a long time, the reality is 3 weeks would be quite average for delivery times in normal years, let alone when our transportation infrastructure is stressed like it is now. Sucks, but...

I'm always skeptical of significantly increased mileage using premium fuel - I've just never seen a big difference - but if these engines truly see a couple MPG increase, I'll do it. The increase in fuel range from even a 2 mpg bump would absolutely make it worth it, particularly on long road...

PHEV is absolutely the solution for a vehicle like the Bronco imo. A full electric option will likely come too - but I'd want to see improved range up above 400 miles before committing. Rivian gives me hope technology will eventually get there. But I'll absolutely trade for the PHEV when it...

Yeah, we agree. That will definitely happen. In the former case, I get it - it's essentially saying that the upgrade to Squatch isn't worth the price (which I would mostly agree with). In the latter, it will be people for whom the manny isn't important, it was just a consideration to save a few...

The mansquatch essentially requires paying for the auto transmission - it isn't more than the auto, though. If someone wants a manual and isn't choosing that just to save money but actually prefers it, they should still get the manual. Switching to auto won't save them any money. That said, I...

Fascinating. Thanks for the info. Train car is NKCR009387.

I'm wondering if my train car info is accurate. It went to Chicago, but today went back to Indiana rather than west on the UP. Is that a thing? Thanks for all the info you've provided. 1FMEE5DP7MLA77234

Giving it a go since my dealer responds to nothing... 1FMEE5DP7MLA77234 7422 11/5 ship date

Shipped email showed up this morning. Getting closer... I think!

Built email arrived overnight. ETA updated to 11/22-28. Looks like a group of them got built status overnight.

The last day they can build a MY21 by law is 12/31/21.

MICs and two-doors are still (and will be until all orders are built) constraints, so that's likely to hold you back for a while. Your order at your dealer amongst its orders will be pretty important given that. Your base with few options helps a lot, but the MIC and 2-door build both show up on...

It can definitely take longer than that - 2.5 weeks would be fairly quick, imo. All depends on how it's coming, how far from the plant you are, etc. Some are delivering in days when they're near Michigan. Some are seeing 6+ weeks after production. I'd say within a month is fairly common, but...

This guy is. I'm not getting too fired up - Ford's tracker/IT sytem/web stuff in general just isn't great. I know it was built. It's likely not been shipped yet, for any of a number of reasons. Built notification doesn't seem to show up until about the time of shipping, so I'm guessing it just...

That's what mine still shows on the Ford tracker site. It will be that way until it is fully released to shipping - built and shipped emails/updates to tracker seem to come very close to each other. If you have an 11/1 blend date, your truck is likely headed down the line at some point today...

Most builds finish the day after the blend date - it takes about 24 hours for a truck to go down the line, so if your chassis and body come together today, they'll likely roll off the line tomorrow. Won't know if it's ready for shipping at that point, though, as it goes to QC after coming off...

No email, but modules populated and eta now 11/22. It's a great day!
