Getting Close Now!

Here is the latest update: The delivery estimate has changed from 9/2 to 9/12. You will note the image of the Ranger has now been replaced by the Ford Blue Oval. And my link to view the window sticker is no longer active.

The dealership is looking into the current status with their rep at Ford.

this is good. My tracking showed a delivery date starting 8/18, I seem to remember window sticker failed to come up for a couple hours, (and today (Tuesday) is the day every window sticker gets republished).
next day the tracking showed showed it was built! than in about 2 days it showed shipped.
If and when you call your dealer, start asking for a train call number. it will be something like
TTGX 691091

I feel like the paperboy in the 80's movie "Better Off Dead" except I want my Ranger!

Congratulations, OP. Your Ranger looks great. I really like the color in person. You don't see too many in the wild.

the hell with this ford tracking site. Mine shows its still in shipping.
today we went to the dealer to pickup a parts order and it was like "Look at that truck, that sure looks like the one I ordered" I checked the VIN and IT IS!

not sure how long its been there, but CSX only unloaded it Saturday so not that long. It has a dealer sticker on the tailgate and tag bracket on the back. I think its been washed. It has around 12 miles on it so not sure if its been on a test ride (first I posted 70, but that was miles to empty )
2 salesman came out to help me and both said "they told me its for sale" (even though the sticker shows custom order). I have $18K down on this truck, sure as hell better not sell it on me. my sales guy has Monday/Tuesday off. So we took it for a test drive, than the sales guy who brought the keys out put a sold sign on it and we locked it up.
Hope to get it Saturday, this gives them time to install the Alarm package I ordered off Ford Accessories store including labor plus linex spray on bed liner and tint 2 front windows. (I hope)

Just heard from my dealer, it is a chip shortage. He said the Lariats require more chips for different things so that’s why the hold takes longer for them.
He said right now my truck is sitting in Michigan, just waiting on those dang chips!
he did say custom orders get prioritized over retail though so that’s good

Good man, snapping a pic while you were there.

Remember kids,

I also connected the fordpass app on my phone to the truck when I took it for a test ride ?

I am going to assume that is the hold-up on my Lariat 4X4. Still no movement as of a little bit ago.

Ford just confirmed the same for me. Mine has been sitting at MAP since 8/24. Their computer shows an estimated date that chip was going to arrive as 8/29, but obviously that didn't happen. She told me that at this point there is no ETA for when the chips will be in and trucks released for transit to dealers.
