It all depends upon the shipping method and all are impacted by various things. Rail is under an "emergency board" because the the rail workers have been without a contract for ~2 years. They're under a 60-day "cool down" since 7/31. Some rail operators a deliberately slowing/rationing...
I'm trying to recall what it was for mine...but I think it was 2 weeks (mine shipped by rail). The *long* wait for me was that there was a strike/work stoppage at the "port" where the rail cars were unloaded and the vehicles loaded onto transport trucks to the dealer. My Ranger was marked...
Just got a call from my dealer...my truck had been delivered. They have to do the PDI, so it should be ready by tomorrow or the day after. Now doing my happy dance!!! ;-)
Dealer screwed up my email address when they submitted my order so I've never received any emails. Apparently once the order is submitted, nothing about it can be changed (including things like email address). So even after my dealer found out that they had the wrong email address, they...
My dealer called me a week or so after I ordered my truck to say that they had a Black Tremor and if I wanted it. I turned them down because (a) I've had black vehicles before and they show *every* imperfection (dirt, scratch, ding) like it's a neon sign (b) I really didn't want the Tremor...
I would have done that if they had anything in stock that wasn't in a horrid color. We test drove a Tremor Lariat in Cyber Orange (shudder) which was all they had on the lot.
Just got a call from my dealer. They know where the truck is (~50 miles from the dealer). The hold up was because the truck was shipped (via rail) to one of the local ports and was to be offloaded onto a transport truck to go to the dealer. The problem has been that the workers at the port...
The longest wait for me has been shipping. My Ranger was completed (built) on 6/30. I don't recall when it went into shipping status but it's still there. Each time I talk to the dealer, the response he gets from Ford is "next week". First is was 7/28, then 8/6, then 8/13. Last time I...
Just got off the phone with the dealer. Still no truck (still marked as shipping even though it was supposed to be here last weekend). He's saying the ETA is by tomorrow (which means early next week). Fingers crossed that it doesn't slip again.
I had a similar incident with one of my cars. The body shop did an excellent job (re-applied the clear coat too) and even after 8 years you couldn't tell that side had been re-painted. The key is to have the work done by a really good paint & body shop.
Yes, Ford's order tracking website does that (just sends you back to the same page) with some degree of regularity. Sometimes it doesn't work for days on end.
My blend date was 6/7 and I was able to see my window sticker on 6/1. At the time folks were seeing the window sticker show up about a week before the blend date which lined up with what I saw. Maybe, Ford has tightened the time frame?
I'd check back with your dealer to see what the hold up is. There may be something about your order that is causing the hold up. You may also want to get from them the priority code for your order.
When I ordered mine (should be here next week), I went through with the dealer and the options...
Just got a call from the Ford dealer. They're seeing that my truck should arrive ~8/6. They need a day to do all of the pre-delivery inspections and that takes a day. He's saying the latest it should be available is mid-next week. Given that the dealer is 1+ hours away, I won't be able to go...
It has been waiting in "built" status for 3 weeks...this morning I checked and it's marked "in transit". I'm hoping it goes well since it's being shipped by rail. How was yours shipped?
