12/19 build week, 12/20 blend, 12/21 'In Production' update, shipped 1/2. Dropped off train 1/12. Took a week to get on a United Road truck for a 1/20 pickup. So 30 days blend to driving her home. Dealership was in Mobile, Alabama.

Interesting note, truck appears to have shipped or was updated prior to delivery. It has the most recent update with the multi control knob.

First impressions, I see why the F-150 is popular. It has significantly better visibility compared to my Ranger. Drives well, blue cruise is awesome, the auto speed sign reading was awesome. Driving to the dealership took work in my Ranger XL, driving back in the Lariat ER was a massive...

At the dealership, they're washing the truck and doing the paperwork. 12/21 in production to a 1/20 delivery. Not bad. For anyone's curiosity, my estimated arrival was 1/2, 1/3-1/9, 1/6-1/12, 1/27-2/2, and it made it here in between. Not bad. Big truck, lots of room, we'll see how it drives on...

Got the email within 2 hours of United Road sending me an email that the truck had been delivered to the dealership.

Looking at it, it is a purchase agreement, but there's plenty of language that allows me to cancel such as low appraisal on a trade in, or any damage/defects from the manufacturer.

It's been weird, they merged very recently. Like past two weeks, the initial loan officer I had left. They seem a bit overwhelmed, I had to call a few different folks and basically beg to get someone to talk to but eventually I did and then it was a painless process. Once they had my buy order...

I live over two hours away, but all Parsons wanted was a buy order with their address listed. I asked for 65000 since I'm trading in my Ranger and then paying the rest as a down payment. Parsons just wanted the "finance amount" to match the requested amount. It wasn't a purchase agreement as a...

My incessant impatience has finally been satisfied. Truck is on the convoy and should have arrived today. Check from Parsons was going to arrive Monday (much to my disappointment, having asked for overnight) but through a stroke of luck its getting there Friday. All said and done, hopefully...

I don't understand convoy scheduling. My dealership is getting near daily shipments from the CSX ramp, but the Norfolk Southern drop off point hasn't had a pickup in 5 days. It's kind of frustrating watching tons of trucks get picked up down the road to come to the dealership but mine has been...

I sent Parsons the buy order. I was under the impression from previous emails I was already approved for a loan, but the person working with me said it has to go to the loan officers and couldn't give me any sort of confidence it would arrive by this upcoming weekend. I guess it's good my truck...

It took roughly a day. Granted it took a day to go from waiting to move into the Ramp (It held for a day in Birmingham, outside the Ramp). It's been waiting for pickup for 5 days due the volume of vehicles also waiting.

My truck is still in Birmingham. Should be on the next truck to Mobile. I've accepted I'll need to wait til this upcoming weekend as I'm pretty busy through the week. They did give me a super generous estimate for my trade in, which surprised me and was really cool. Shot the buy order to...

I wouldn't mind if a hypothetical Ranger EV had less range. I never tow, only carry stuff in the bed. It is tight in the interior for sure, especially over 6' tall. But a mid sized truck with decent ish range (maybe around SR) better fast charging at the 50k mark I think could work. If they're...

I'd love a good mid sized EV truck. Plus I happen to like how the current Rangers look.

I'm jealous! My truck is still awaiting pickup. I looked at past deliveries and it seems like they do convoys once or twice a week, hopefully mine gets to the dealership on the next trip Tuesday. I have been getting a little frustrated with my dealership, they don't seem to want to send me a...

Truck is waiting for final convoy now, I used my account for United Road to check on it and it shows as pending pickup. Trouble is, my dealer has 20 or so also pending pickup and only 4 or so at a time in transit. I think I know where a few more days delay may occur. Hopefully it ends up on a...

In an amusing twist, Ford is now predicting a 1/27 - 2/2 delivery window for me, as my truck sits a few hours from the dealership having been offloaded from the train. I feel confident I'll be able to pick it up by the holiday on Monday, but we shall see.

Truck's train car is at the auto ramp. There's a number of vehicles pending pickup to head to the dealership. Maybe I'll get lucky and my truck will get in on one of those convoys. My dealer hasn't been super eager to sign a purchase agreement that I need for Parsons, I'm going to try and lean...

My truck made it to Birmingham late last night. Seems like it may take a day or two to get offloaded at the ramp. Good news is it seems my dealership receives near daily truck shipments so once it's off it should be at the Dealership the next day. I'm hoping that happens this weekend. I'll post...
