ECOBOOST ONLY: Tracking Remaining MY22 Builds

[NoVaJimmy]

After reading all your posts, I had no idea I could get the info from Ford chat. So, I just did Chat and got some information, but not what I wanted to hear. See if you all can make sense of this mess:

11/07/22 - Received my "shipped" email at 4am
11/10/22 - Text my dealer on Nov 10, asking for rail info and they told me it had "arrived at a Pennsylvania Junction yard, however no rail car information."
11/18/22 - via ford chat - "Your vehicle was received in Burnham, IL on 11/18/22."
WTH is it doing in IL? I live in DE. She confirmed my VIN and dealer and she stated that my truck "should not have to go through PA unless it's going to backtrack". But then where does she think Burnham, IL is?? It's further west and North from PA! She did say it was "transported via Norfolk Southern Corp, but no convoy carrier or rail car number was noted."

Why does no one have my rail car info? Ugh, so disappointed to hear this today.
I have not whined about any of this until now - I hit my wall. LOL

I was going to say that's way too short of a timeline for it to be in PA already. It WILL get stuck in the Chicago area anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, that's just the nature of the beast. I think they stockpile transit rail cars until they have enough to make financial sense to send a load out to Delaware. FWIW mine got stuck in Chicago for over a week and then got stuck at the rail head in Delaware for almost a week. Good luck!

Just had the production date of 11/17 post on my tracking!

so on average how long does it take for your truck to go from shipped, to arriving at your dealer?

I'm guessing average is three weeks, give or take. Obviously, if you live in Arizona, it's going to get there a lot faster than if you live in Maine. Plus, it is impossible to predict how long your truck might sit at the final rail depot before being picked up to go the dealer lot.

I've seen folks have their vehicles stuck in those rail depots for weeks. So, again, really hard to say. The "official" Ford delivery estimates give roughly one month for transit. For instance, my truck was shipped out on 11/17 and the delivery estimate is 12/12-12/18. If they beat that, I'll be happy. If they meet it, Ford gets to say they delivered on time.

My rail car left Nogales Az on Monday 11/6 and was in Conway Pa on 11/16… less than 10 days.. so much for your Chicago issues.

Drum-roll please.....

Chat agent says (as of noon Pacific on 11/18/22)..... "I am able to see that your vehicle is In Production and in the Body Shop process. This update was provided on Nov-17-2022. I don't see an ETA for completion yet, but please feel free to check back in with us for a status update".

All the online trackers show NOTHING of the sort. No modules showing, no date under the "In Production" slot of the Ford tracker, etc...

But in theory I was in the Body Shop as of yesterday. I'll take it.

Keep checking the modules first. My modules started showing up this morning and there are now endless rows. My Tracker has not yet updated with an In Production date though.

Body shop is traditionally 2 business days from completion

Just checked in with Ford Chat. My rail car has made it at least as far as the junction point in Arizona. She's in the States!

Okay you got lucky. Most people have had the same issue with Chicago. Am I supposed to be impressed?

I was!

I hope my truck encounters the same smooth sailing. Congratulations Captain! Can't wait to see you standing by your new truck!

 

[TpaTruck]

Are they sending emails out this week for build dates? Haven't heard anything....

We’ll I certainly won’t tell you to be impressed, but I clearly would appreciate any accolades you want to pass my way.. all I really wanted to show is everything is different for everyone. As a matter of fact, my rail car has been sitting in Conway Pennsylvania since 0806 am on the 16th. Conway is my Chicago…

 

[pandamancer]

My truck is now showing built in the tracker and says "Shipped." I'm in Southern California, so maybe my travel time from Hermosillo will be fairly short and the truck won't need to sit too long in a rail yard waiting for a carrier.

Getting pretty excited...

 

[CrescentHammer]

Can somebody give me a hand looking up my rail car location, I got all the info I just can’t figure out what to do from there
