Anyone else in this week waiting on a Raptor or on convoy and ramp CR4G that has seen any movement? Seems like this feed is super quiet but the weeks after us are getting their vehicles.

Also, when people have gotten updates on their tracker, do they come mid day or do they only update once in the morning? I see the date on the bottom of my window sticker is updated daily so I just assume someone is scanning it to show it’s going to be stuck on the lot yet another day.

My updates have always come in the morning. Not sure if that is always the case or not.

While not ford, I do have a good friend in management at the BMW plant here. They have an approach of leaving vehicles “in production” as long as possible so that if something happens or is found, it’s easier to get modifications/repairs done since it’s still in the system and not released To shipping. Maybe ford does the same and releases to shipping only once they have a firm date/truck/rail car? Pure speculation though

Your speculation is right on target. Talked to Ford since mine was in Production since 7/19. They said they stay in production until released to a carrier.

Spoke to Ford chat today and I’m currently on a rail car somewhere in Ohio right now. They claim to not have access to the rail car #. ETA is this Saturday but range is today through 8/29.
