No shit, I just ordered a tonneau to coordinate delivery and I'm going to cancel it an move on.
Strange since yours is on a rail car already? Wonder if it could be an error. Fords IT department hasn’t been great throughout this

No way man! If this is true I’m pissed for you (and scared for all of us). Really hope it’s just some glitch.

Just did UP trace and said loaded for departure March 1st 10:29pm interchange ETA still March 6 Illinois around 2pm

Edit: Called again 3/2 @7am…departed 3am this morning. Illinois ETA now 3/7.

I appreciate the encouragement from both of you regarding it being a glitch.

The fact that I got a directed email and no reports of others leads me to consider other scenarios, with transit damage being one. I am still going to try to cancel the order from Ford accessories as I don't want to sit on another item for months, especially with my recent history trying to buy a Ford.

I'll follow-up once the smoke clears.

Totally bizarre. I would reach out to your dealer and call the Ford customer service number.

Similar situation(I assume this is not you due to the different dates)...

Got a call from Granger about an hour ago - Woot! My truck has arrived. Finance manager said they got a lot of trucks/vehicles in and he has a lot of calls to make.

Yeah, not me on that one. But unfortunate nevertheless.

I did contact the dealer and requested an explanation.

They informed me that my truck arrived last night and should be ready tomorrow or Friday.
They were surprised by the Ford email too, but they did say the shipment (didn't specify truck or train) had other vehicles on it that got damaged and Ford may have sent the message out en masse for all VINs on the shipment.

Sorry for my strong reaction earlier, but truthfully, this was the proverbial last straw.
My dealership has been great, the interaction with Ford not so much (erroneous emails/tracker/poor communication). I've been buying vehicles since the early '80's and traditionally not a fan of the experience. That said, the last four or five purchases have been great. No pressure or shenanigans. If Ford wants to sell directly, they need to get their crap together.

Hopefully, this will proceed and conclude with no additional drama. :whistle:
Thanks everyone.

Good Lord. What a ride this has been for all of us. It's sad to say we would have been better off being COMPLETELY in the dark, rather than trying to follow along with these crazy trackers, emails, etc. Man, I am SO stoked for you to finally take delivery! Let's hope we can all take delivery with less drama.

Yeah, and thanks! Hopefully, the dealership experience will go alright.
I wonder if the guy/gal on Reddit (Lightning_Strike_7) you linked to had their Maverick on the same truck or train. Weird coincidence.

Here's to our Ohio friends getting theirs soon!

I linked your post over on Reddit, so they would know your outcome. Hopefully they are good as well!

Norfolk Southern says my railcar is in Lake City, MO, just east of Kansas City. Moving right along so far and looks to be able to make it's newest ETA for the CSX hand-off in East St. Louis tomorrow.

This is me and I have yet to get a straight answer from Ford. I called the hotline and they had no info at all. I'm not really sure what the point of the hotline is if they can't look anything up.

I'll call the dealership tomorrow with what people suggested on reddit. So far me and the OP of this thread are the only reported people to get such an email. At least that I've seen.
