I know after all these months I can hardly expect reliable information, but...
I received my "in production" tracking notice on 4/24/2019.
I later received a "blend date" of 5/01 with delivery date of 5/17.
On 5/02 I received "awaiting shipping" notice and a change of delivery to 5/13!
Things are hap'nin now!!

I later refreshed the screen and the numbers and status changed with each refresh!

I then went to my dealer who stated that my truck was built on 4/24 and was languishing in the factory yard!

I have chosen to believe the tracker's most optimistic and recent information.
Only time will tell whether that faith is substantiated or I am set for yet another disappointment.

WAIT!! is that the phone I hear... Hold on
.................................
Nevermind, it was just another telemarketer

Congrats, you're getting close. I don't mind waiting as long as things are progressing. You had a tough go of that at the start.

My dealer got their first two Rangers in today.
Beautiful hotpepper red XLT and a black Lariat.
Both 4DR 4X4s of course.
They even let me examine the wheels and look inside! ( my consolation prize)
The upholstery is better than I had dreamed and much darker than other ones I have seen.
(MINE HAD BETTER BE THE SAME)

The XLT which I saw today was ordered 6 weeks ago.
(ordered 3 months after my order)
I have never felt so powerless and cheated as I did today.
I just don't know when I should cancel my order and debadge the Fords I now own.

I am truly sorry that I sold my 2001 Ranger.

I will predict that once you do finally get your new Ranger that it will have been worth the wait. This truck has exceeded my expectations in (almost) every way. 3 weeks in and I still look forward to driving it.

Not trying to minimize your "wait" Floyd. But after waiting over 6 months for my truck, 6 weeks doesn't seem all that long to me. Granted I ordered in September and they didn't start making the truck until after Thanksgiving so really it was about a 4 month wait. I hear ya, the wait is tough but I bet what RedlandRanger is true, your gonna think it worth the wait and love the vehicle when you finally get it.

I'm in my fifth MONTH of waiting.
It was the XLT that I saw today which was ordered 6 weeks ago.... 3 months after I ordered mine.
You're right!! 6 weeks is not long to wait, in fact it is NORMAL.

After 14 new Ford vehicles, Ford no longer considers me to be a legitimate customer.
If they don't want to bother building what I want, in a timely manner, then they should just refuse my order.
One thing is FOR SURE! Ford will never again treat me with this level of contempt.

I still hope RedlandRanger is correct and I expect so, but I have several times built cars from the ground up myself...and in less time than Ford has wasted on empty promises and favoritism.

My truck was delivered to the rail yard on Tuesday. The date at the bottom of the window sticker stayed 4/26 (when it left Detroit).

Now after sitting at the railyard for 4 days, today the date on window sticker bottom changed to 5/3.

Does this mean it’s on the truck to the dealer? Delivery date is 5/22.

Curious, why are you importing a US Ranger vs buying one locally?

I am an American stationed in Germany. If I got a European spec I couldn't bring it back without a lot of ass pain. lol It's been rough waiting for it to get here but seeing all the Germans driving theirs around. There isn't a US spec one in my area yet. Mine will be one of the first and I should have it in about 2 weeks as it is already in Bremerhaven.

 

[JokerUSAF]

It's been at the rail yard for over a month. I'd have the dealership contact a zone manager and find out whats going on.

@Pioneer74 Thanks for the look. I know its not in the rail yard as it has arrived to the port in Bremerhaven, Germany. My military auto sales rep says it should be down to me within 2 weeks. I was curious as to what your system would have for status. I guess it does disappear when it hits the military side. I can't see the window sticker for it either on the Ford site. It says the VIN hasn't been released. meh

There are two links on the "tracking your Ranger" page which have never worked for me...
1] "learn about your vehicle" which just goes to "about blank"
2] "owner registration" which also only shows "about blank"

Has anyone successfully accessed either of those links?
What's in there? Are they just blank?

 

[DrRoger]

Not on a train yet. Still in the rail yard.

Pioneer74,
The next time you are checking locations, could you check for me.

If it has not yet moved, do you know if they are holding trains because of the mid-west flooding?
Thanks again for all you do for us.

Wait for it..........

Got a call from my dealer about 30 minutes ago and he informed me my new 2019 Ranger is sitting on their lot. He sent pictures and said it is the sharpest he has seen.

So, I propose a group drink at 7:00 this evening. Pick your favorite beverage and toast the arrival of yet another Ranger.

Too bad I am 100 miles away and won’t be back until Sunday. Will be picking it up on Monday

Special props to Pioneer74. While the wait sucked, knowing what was going on sure made it bearable.

Congrats! You will love it!

It is kind of weird how just knowing where it is makes the waiting easier. Don't know why, but it does.

I went back and tried to get there, but apparently the tracker doesn't work once your truck is delivered.

The whole Ford site is rather wonky if you ask me. Some things work, some things don't. I don't recall if those ever worked for me or not. I know I've had instances where some things worked on one browser and not on another. You might try doing it with a different browser and see if anything comes up.
