Thanks! I thought I saw this somewhere, must have glossed over when I checked earlier.

Something new to obsess over for the next 3ish weeks!

You guys are causing depression to kick in here. Still no joy for me. Congrats to those who have moved to the next steps!

No joy as in not built yet or?

As in I don't know. Changed to In Production during the week of 4/24 as expected. Blend date was 4/30.
As near as I can tell, I was built and then shuttled somewhere for holding. Not sure if it's just shipping, parts, or both. I've been unable to get any further clarification than it's in production from Ambassador. Hoping I'll see a status change like others some time this week.

Still no shipping update. Dealer says showing at Ramp...20 days now waiting for shipping, but he says FreightVerify shows as "released" so there shouldnt be any kind of hold going on...Weird.

received the same response from my dealer today. No changes to online status.

I would think that all dealers have access to track their orders. They sent a screen shot:

Checking the rail tracker religiously, the truck's gone from New Boston MI to Buffalo NY so far since the 24th. They say the truck will arrive at their site in MA tomorrow, however Ford's online delivery estimate is 6/11-6/24. That seems like a generous time frame if it arrives at the rail yard tomorrow, so I'm carefully optimistic I'll have it before the back end of that estimate.

Truck was delivered at the transportation company destination early this morning. Not sure how long it will take to get to the dealer but it's looking like the home stretch. Fingers crossed!

I am sure they do, but convincing them to give you any information is the battle.

So Ford Chat told me something new this morning. The rep said that my order status was showing "Received" rather than the previous "In production". The rep said that "Received" meant received by a carrier. They couldn't tell me what carrier though. Still no ETA and Ford's tracking site still shows "In production" since 2 May, the other shows "In Production" since 24 April (Blend was 30 April). Will ask my dealer if they can see a carrier.

Edit: False alarm, still in limbo. Though I keep being told that there are no holds on the truck. It is just waiting to be accepted for shipment, which is when the status will change

I talked to my dealer rep last Friday. They were able to determine that the system showed a "Compound Exit" from the plant on 5/5. They opened a ticket with Ford Regional and got a response today that they see no reported issues and arrival to dealer estimated for 6/8. Still seems strange that the systems we see still show "In Production".

Fingers crossed. JustADude, perhaps they're coming on the same truck.
