January 3rd build week?

[jwiedle24]

Looks nice! I’m hoping mine randomly shows up in the next week or so, but everything seems to take twice as long for my truck

I feel you on the twice as long. My train has just been sitting at CSX Walbridge in Ohio for 4 days now according to tracking. Just says “weigh build data” received.

Hard sitting here the whole 9 months and just seeing people that ordered 5 months later than you get theirs, or people that get “built” and it ships the very next day and they get it within 3 weeks etc. I’m not getting my $1,495 worth in delivery charges lol

Both yours and @bentley72 's Mavs have to be only days out. I'd wager you will both get them before week's end.

I hope so too. I am envious of your Hybrid. I missed the hybrid cutoff to order. I dragged my feet until early Jan. and when heard rumors of a total order cutoff I ordered the XL EB. I ordered it with no options hoping to speed up delivery and knowing I will eventually be ordering a XLT hybrid for next model year.

I think you will get that XL Ecoboost fairly quickly. I bet the max turn around on that would be 5 months. You could be taking delivery in May. Just a guess!

Should be much sooner, it is on a train in Kansas now.

Wow. That's crazy how fast they produced that! Congrats, that's way better than 8 months for me.

Well this is a new one...I've seen the people that got a 'delivery delayed until May' email when the truck was actually just about at the dealership. But I have not seen these messages on here yet lol.

(UPDATE: I hadn’t been on the main page tonight and did see there were threads about this email a couple hours ago)

It finally arrived at Wayne, MI via CSX late last night and I get an email tonight that it's not in production yet! Ford really needs to fix their systems!

Good grief! I was checking earlier today to see if you had posted any update, thinking surely by now!

Might be worth a call to Ford Customer Service. I go back to what I've said many times, I really like the product, but if this what Ford's "build to order" future looks like, I hope there's good alternatives.
There may be manufacturing and logistics issues, but in this communication/tech era, getting accurate status info to the customer should be a no-brainer.

Feel for ya, that's very unfortunate.

I’m not reading into too much, going to hope for smooth sailing from here

But I also wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to choose my truck to do crash test ratings with at this point.

Did you happen to try the palsapp hack? My guess is it would show as pending or en route by now.

Ya I did the hack and have been checking on it a few times throughout the day. Was still just pending when I checked a couple of hours ago. Will check again tomorrow and hope to see it en route to destination.

CSX tracker said the railcar was empty at 10pm tonight (3/18) so hoping it’s got a truck ready to take it this weekend for delivery.

I’m going out on a limb that my truck will be delivered this week. Made arrangements with carvana to buy my Kia Soul for 600 bucks less than I paid for it 5 years ago. Dealer says it will be here between the 19th and 25th. I only have a spare car to drive this week so if it doesn’t come I’m going to have to break out the bicycle!

@casanewt or @jwiedle24, I finally got palsapp to work and it’s showing Wayne, MI status pending. Does that mean it’s in Michigan waiting for a truck?

That is my assumption. Mine has been at the Wayne, MI plant for a few days now. Killing me that they don't have it on a truck yet. Mine still shows as destination name - null, and status pending. Now just really hoping it will be ready for pickup early this week.

Yep, when it's in pending, it shows the pick up location. Once it is moving, it shows the destination. Mine sat for several days and then once it got on a truck, it made it to the dealer the same day. YMMV.
