January 3rd build week?

Mine is getting close as well. I was 95% sure it had reached the end of its train ride in Shelbyville, KY a few days ago, so I started watching the VIN through https://palsapp.com/ to hopefully get info on the last leg of the journey. The VIN was showing "pending" for a few days but confirmed the pickup was set to Shelbyville. Today it got updated saying "dispatched" and showing the destination as my dealership.

If you are wondering, there is a "hack" to get the VIN search working on https://palsapp.com/ and the info is below...

You need to go to the site, hit F12, then do CTRL-F, then select HTML, type VIN, then delete the hidden="hidden" on the line above the highlighted VIN info.

Funny, I just emailed my sales guy that it was on a truck and he emailed right back saying it was being unloaded that very moment! And he sent a photo...

Happy for you. Sounds like you have a nice dealership, too!

That’s s a great feeling, isn’t it?
Anticipation builds. I got mind on Friday night after dealer sending a picture on Thursday. Storm hit us Saturday AM. Had to clean up debris. Haven’t had much time to put some accessories on it. As soon as I do I plan to post pictures. But this truck so far as exceeded all my expectations. First commuter trip to office: 49 miles, 47.2 MPG. It has been worth the wait. You are going to love it.

Thanks! Hopefully you didn't have any property damage from the storm.

Just half a Elm tree. Fortunately Maverick was not there. Now that would ruin a day!

I picked it up tonight. It is everything I expected and more. The Area 51 color is great in person. The other thing that doesn't land until you spend some time with one is just how "not small" it is. I knew it was 10" longer than my previous 2016 KIA Sorento, but until you stand around it or get it into a garage you have no real scale. I was so preoccupied getting it home before dark and checking it out that I forgot to take some pictures before dusk. I'll get some tomorrow. King's Ford made the buying experience enjoyable. One more thing, the stock stereo is pretty darn good in my humble opinion!

Happy to hear everything went well...hope to join the club sometime this week!

The size is strange, isn't it? When I test drove the one at the dealer it was just such an illusion. It looked small, but also big from certain angles. Got inside it, and it seemed very roomy, even though it's compact and backseats are not overly spacious. It has to be the fact we're so conditioned to trucks being monstrous--that it seems it's small, until you experience it and it is just as big and roomy as a compact to mid-size SUV.

Better late than never! Here it is. Husky mats installed and Gator Tri-Fold Tonneau going on soon. I also have one of those $20 close-out KIA rearview mirrors with HomeLInk and auto-dimming to install.

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 haven’t been able to get a rail car number. Not sure if my salesman knows where to look

It's time to bug them for a screenshot of that VVR!

When I emailed him earlier this week he said he didn’t see a rail car and the ETA status says arriving? Not sure if that’s a thing and it’s already being moved on a truck
