2022 Built Maverick on train in Arizona

[FischAutoTechGarten]

I'm not sure where the Train switching occurs. The railroad tracks cross the border right in downtown Nogales AZ / Nogales SON as a single set, right next to the pedestrian and car crossings.

Just a few blocks north of the border there is a 2nd set of tracks for about 1 mile. Not really enough to do much switching... However, there is a giant rail yard just a few miles south of the border.

I'm guessing there must be some sort of US/MEX cooperation occuring south of the border.. Would make sense given the extent of NAFTA (or whatever it's called now). I've watched the train pass thorugh the border, and there are no comprehensive inspections... just a brief wait and then it continues on... So the greater inspections/handoffs are performed before or after (probably before... as there is no opportunity for anyone to monkey with the train after that southern train yard to the border.. I know, I drive along that section of road, parallel to the train, allot.... The Sentry Lane for quick border crossings is right next to the tracks).

I do know that NO Fords come off of that truck between the border and Phoenix.. So there is a big receiving center in Phoenix. So trucks sold at Ford dealerships in Tucson AZ or Nogales AZ end up doubling back from Phoenix on a truck...

Google earth really shows just how much larger Nogales Sonora is compared to Nogales Arizona.
One think you appreciate is there is barely a flat piece of land on either side of the border in either city. This must have been just beautiful land 200 years ago before industrialization, with lots of grass covered hills, small mesquite forests, a few ponds, lots of water in the Santa Cruz River (Which crosses the border twice). It's high elevation (> 4k ft) gives it a nice cooler climate with ample rainfall.

Anyway, just thought you all might find it interesting.

Mine is stuck in Nogales also. Built 10/6 Shipped 7th. Because the dealer refuses to call me or email back with rail info I called customer service today. The guy said is was sitting in the rail yard not on a car yet. No car number or info on when it will be loaded for shipping. Never thought to ask if it was in Nogales, US or Mexico.

Mine is in Nogales too. I am in Arizona though, so maybe mine is coming via truck. It has a projected arrival of 10/16 according to Ford customer service. They didn't have rail car info though as of yesterday

Maverick XLT AWD finally delivered to dealership Saturday morning 10-29-22. Received a text while working Saturday morning from salesman that my Maverick was there. "Just showed up" he texted. Fortunately there was a tech there that was able to process it thru the shop. Went home after work and went and picked it up with my wife and daughters. 2 pics are from work parked next to my buddy's Maverick who got his 1st week of May. We both ordered on the same day together with the same salesman, 1-17-22. My buddy had a build date the week we ordered them, his was built in March, mine was built 10-3-22.

Mine was built October 8 and received at Phoenix rail yard October 12. Yesterday morning got a text from salesman saying it was picked Sunday night and on transporter truck in transit (400 miles trip) and mine was the only 1 coming to the dealership. This morning I got a text it arrived sometime after closing last night. I went over this morning and checked it over looking for transit damage before they take it around back for PDI. All looked good and only has 5 miles on it Going back to complete purchase and pay them tomorrow morning

Was the automated rail service tracker. All it said it was in Arizona. Said nothing about bad order. Was a bit surprised it got to AZ in 2 days. Also drive a F 150 thing is huge! Nice driving but parking it and manurerability is a headache.
Update: you got me curious after I told myself to just let it ride and be patient. It left Tuscon today at 6:30 am. Who knows where the next stop will be.

How were you tracking your vehicle till it got delivered to the Dealership. I have one that is supposed to get delivered at the end of the month, but am having to resort to Ford CS to see where it was at. Last update was on November 27th was in Nogales, Arizona, and they are saying that the delivery date is between December 20 - 26

See the sticky here for tracking resources. I was able to follow the railcar. But lost visibility once it got to where it goes on a car carrier. 2 weeks to get to NJ by rail another 2 weeks to get to the dealer. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/🧭-ford-maverick-build-tracking-links/
