Good grief, can’t fords expecting arrival day just be good enough? Sorry for the rant, I just picture a bunch of rail employees getting harassed by pickup buyers, as if it’s gonna speed up the process. You know it’s on rail to arrive somewhere by an expected date, can’t that just be good enough? The line of business I’m in is Agronomy, and everyone wants it done yesterday. Business is booming and we are working around the clock. We aren’t sitting still. Drives me nuts when people bug us wondering when we will get there. We will get there when we get there. We are working hard on it I promise! My sticker says it’ll be shipped on rail to Minneapolis, Mn. My dealer isn’t far from there. I can care less where that rail car is or what company’s line is hauling it. It’s on its way and nothing I can do will speed it up. I’m not going to harass the rail company or the dealer, or the trucking company in charge for dealer delivery. Or Ford chat for that matter. It’s coming! You sound like you’re 8 years old waiting on Santa Claus, with a computer. Sorry in advance. Rant over.

The rail tracking is all automated for intermodal shippers. No employees involved.

Ordered October 3rd. Got notice in October 6th it would be built week of 11/20. Built November 22. Shipped yesterday. I am amazed they were right on schedule with the strike.

F350 Tremor, 6.7L, Lariat Ultimate.

 

[Dzlbudman]

Just got my Built email. Still can’t believe how fast this is happening. It really does make a difference when the dealer has allocations…. Sorry for all you long time waiting folks. 2 years of waiting for our Bronco was rough.

At 11am today, my truck was driven off the rail car into a parking lot in Petersburg Virginia to wait truck delivery to the dealer 2 hours away.

Dealer says it can take the trucking company United Road up to 18 days to go get it and bring it the 116 miles to the dealer. But sometimes quicker.

Dealer also says United Roads will give the dealer 24-48 hours advance notice prior to delivery to dealership, and when you add 2 days of dealer prep once at the dealer, you pretty much can get 3-4 day advance notice of final delivery to plan travel etc.

Wish Ford would do vehicle deliveries like BMW does where you can travel to the performance center and pick it up. They make a whole fun day out of it.

How did you track it so close?

 

[Jnelli]

ugh my truck still says in production on the site…. They need to fix that POS!

 

[ClaudeSS]

How did you track it so close?

So Norfolk Southern has this simple automated phone number 800-497-2919. Enter 2 for tracking. Then 8 as the alphameric code prompt followed by #. All autorack rail cars out of Kentucky Plant are owned by same company and enter as a single 8. Then enter the rail car number followed by #. Then verify with 1.
The location are announced in rail road jargon and the names are railroad names which aren’t always town names.

Left XXX (state) on flat car, does not mean your truck dragged out of the enclosed auto rail car and strapped on top of a flat bed car in the wind with chains hopefully holding in place lol. Just jargon the rail car left this station.

Intermediate Arrival at XXX (state) means the rail car with your truck has arrived at a station where the locomotive will be changed. Often very close to final destination.

XXX, Scanner (state) means that rail car passed the automated scanner at that location. May be a real town, maybe a rail road jargon waypoint.

The trains go past towns pretty damn fast. So you need to check often. Especially if you don’t recognize the place names. The next one 10-20 minutes down the track may be a more familiar town.

Getting a rail map on a screen is pretty important in making sense of all the locations.

In my case it said Left Crewe Virginia on flat car at 10 am this morning. Crewe is a rail yard 46 miles west of Petersburg. Then it said Intermediate Arrival Crewe VA at 11:58 AM. (Note I wasn’t fanatical enough to check inbetween 10 and 12 where I’m sure it would have said arrived in Petersburg) Then it said Briarly Scanner at 1:20Pm. Briarly is a town west of Crewe. So the rail car was heading back to Kentucky Plant at that point.

So the rail car left Crewe going east towards Petersburg at 10 am, and got back to Crewe (after unloading my truck and others) at 11:58, and continued west. Dealer later confirmed it was unloaded at 11am.

If it wasn’t Thanksgiving weekend I would not have had time to check so often. But when your rail car is heading away back towards Kentucky, you can bet your truck was unloaded first !

Wonder what that hold/upfit is for. Spray in bedliner?

Mine has the spray in bed liner.. in production 11/14, built 11/15, shipped 11/16. No delay at all for me

Kentucky Plant is now scheduling lower priority dealer stock orders.

My dealer has 4 inbound lower priority 2024 stock orders including two Lariat Ultimate with diesel. They have In Production dates of 11/16 to 11/20.

Why this is important to understand. Our Retail orders always have a higher priority (lower number) compared to Dealer Stock orders. Ford will never schedule a dealer Stock order if one of our orders has the parts and an allocation.

What this tells me that many of our trucks which are not getting scheduled don’t have an allocation. This dealer sells tons of SD and plenty of SD allocation's.

One of their Lariats has Sport Appearance, the other Black Appearance. Their HO diesel orders have not been scheduled yet.

These are not customers orders who didn’t want them. They have blue window stickers.

Long McArthur said there were 27,000 unscheduled orders as of last video. There’s no way Ford would just shut down retail orders in November, say good luck next model year, and start stock orders. We’re not even to job 2 yet. Dealers get monthly slice of the their total allocation. Maybe your dealer didn’t get enough retail orders and is filling their allocation with stock orders.

But if you look at the trim percentages in those 27,000 unscheduled orders there’s an extremely high percentage of KR, Plat and Limited.

If you have a Lariat Ultimate with diesel, moon roof and Sport Appearance or Black Appearance (like this dealer) and you didn’t get scheduled, and these dealer stock orders did, then the conclusion would be lack of allocation.

You can search 2024 dealer inventory now and look at window stickers of inbound trucks. If window sticker is blue, it’s a dealer stock order with a priority of 20 or greater.

This helps understand what is being scheduled and built. I don’t think we’ll see any KR, Lim or Plat dealer stock orders until all of ours with allocation are built.

Maybe this isn’t the place for this but does anyone have experience having there new trucks ceramic coated ?

Striking what I originally said. But I do still disagree that a dealer doesn’t get all allocation at once. Dealers still do their round robin of allocation selections by Ford. KY can bang out somewhere around 10k SD’s a month. Well above the order bank accounting for all the specialty trims and options. Seems Ford could easily fill stock orders in there.
