Excited for you sir, but what do you mean in saying "Ford just pulled my 2020 Ranger order"? If a VIN has not yet been assigned to your order how is it possible for an anticipated delivery date of the first or second week of December?
It is my understanding that Ford assigns a VIN to the order then schedules an estimated build date, in that order. I'd query my dealer or whoever told you of your anticipated delivery date
Planning on querying the dealer, still waiting for the number. As soon as I know it I will post it. Thanks for asking.

All depends on how far away you are from the assembly plant. When MAP was building the Focus, my special order was built on a Tuesday night and was at my dealer Wednesday morning, but it had to travel less than 30 miles on a truck.

Typically, look for it to be at least a week to 10 days. With the model year changeover, if Ford decides to Batch and Hold production, it could take longer the closer your build is to the changeover date.
Lol, I wish the arrival date of my 2020 SuperCab would be just 10 days, I've actually alloted 1-1 1/2 months for it to reach me.
It first takes a train ride from Wayne, MI to some port city in CA (2402 miles) then enjoys a ocean cruise from CA to Honolulu, HI (2467 miles) for a total of almost 5K miles.
All for a ridiculously low price of some $2000, though all of it's travel accommodations will be in steerage, no doubt!
Such is the price for living in Paradise.

If you didn't know, your truck is scheduled to be built November 26th.
Thanks for the info. I wonder how long it will be before it ships to the dealer?

Odd that the vehicle tracking site information is not consistent with the vehicle visibility site.
Perhaps not to get the average Joe's expectations too high?

What information is different? I might be able to clear the differences up.

I stopped by the dealership today and checked on Ranger I ordered a month ago. They checked on it while I was there and said the build date is December 16 and that l should have it before the end of the year. I never thought to ask if they had the Vin number.
