Help interpreting railcar info

[Brian_J]

So, like everyone here with a Maverick that is in transit, I’m obsessively tracking it. Now that I am within my delivery window of 11/11-11/17, I have noticed my delivery date has changed on the ford tracker to simply “estimated delivery 11/21”, and all mentions of the original window is gone. Since I am flying in and driving the truck home, I reached out to the dealer and asked for an update and the railcar info and received the attached pic. If I understand it correctly, the railcar is in Port Wilmington, De. Correct? How does the hive mind interpret this image?

You are right. I tracked mine to Cayce, SC, which is 100 miles from my dealer. My Maverick has been there for 8 days now. My original delivery date was 11/15-11/17. Tracker now says estimated date is 11/29.

Yes, your Maverick is at the Norfolk Southern car port at Port Wilmington DE to be unloaded. From there it will be trucked to your dealership will they will then prep it for delivery. However, if you look closely at the Status History it states that it is "On Stopship". There seems to be a recent issue with the Maverick that Ford has issued a stop shipping on them. However for my vehicle, It took 3 days from the time my vehicle was unloaded off the train, to be trucked the last 36 miles to the dealership.

Did you have the stop ship issue too?

Did you have the stop shop issue too?

No, mine was a Bronco Sport that had a missing chip and Fuel Distribution Module Recall. My build date for my Maverick is 11/29 pushed back from it's original 11/22 date.

So it sounds like it’s still possible I can take delivery on Saturday. Depending on this stop ship issue of course.
This is gonna drive me to drink!
