if its confirmed to have shipped and is on a railcar then you'll need to get the rail car number from your dealer
confirmed with fleet manager today that the truck has not shown up at their lot yet, and he still shows it being in Chicago. When I told him it was last updated to be at the Richmond,CA railyard that was news they did not know.
edit: aaaaaaaaand now the Ford tracker says an October 1st...
the CSX robot voice told me it was "released to the customer" on Monday. But the Ford tracker updated today and now says estimated delivery of the 24th. 3 days later than what their original estimate was. This whole experience of custom ordering a truck has sucked so far.
I got my railcar number today from the dealer, as of a week ago it was rolling through Chicago. I don't have any more updates....a while back someone had posted very specific instructions on how to get ahold of CSX to get further updates. Does anyone recall those instructions I cant find them
I wonder if this means it lost its "place" in line when it was sent out for the bedliner etc. Now that its back from all that maybe they put other trucks that were ready to go as priority to ship out...and one of those trucks got a microchip that should have gone to you....
Exactly this. I would throw an extra 10 days on to their "estimate". I'm pessimistic especially since I've seen others here order well after me and receive their tremors before my truck was even built.
My FX4 was "Built" yesterday September 1st. It went "In Production" on 8/23. So it took the Ford order tracker exactly 10 days to change from In production to built.
I am approaching 20 weeks from my order date (first week of April).
The fleet manager that I am working with had an initial estimate of 20 weeks.
So I am expecting 24-26 weeks with an October delivery date (my pessimistic estimate)
