I feel your pain, I’ve been waiting 5 months this week. Please post pics when you get it.
It does not appear it will be today. Even though the UR tracker shows it being picked up at 6:02am, it still shows as "InRoute" - I have no idea how traveling 34 miles could take all day long. Prior deliveries were done in a couple hours. So, I will have to wait until Sunday it appears - assuming it finally does make it to the dealer between now and Sunday. that will put me at 16 weeks and one day of waiting.

The customer tracker gives the far date of the window given in the system I can use. The official ETA window is April 29th to May 5th.
A couple of checks ago it showed my truck as being shipped with a railcar number and a transportation Company. The tracker had an end date of 4/12 then it jumped to an end date of 5/5. Could you please check to see if my truck is on a railcar heading somewhere. Also; My Dealer gave me an update regarding the big jump in my delivery date from 4/12 to 5/5. He said his system showed a" MANUAL ADJUSTED" Does anyone know what that means or stands for? Thanks Pat 1FTER4FH3KLA29090

I was told that train unloads in Albuquerque and is trucked to Tucson. Got to quit watching, it will make you crazy. Dont ever special order. The dealers must repaint after all of that sitting around and loading and unloading. Mean while the truck is depreciating. Never buy new. The new first owner always takes a big hit in more ways than one.
This is my 3rd special ordered vehicle from Ford and I have been happy with each one. This one especially. With the exception of those whose trucks were stalled in production, most trucks are being delivered in about 3 1/2 to 4 months. Not great but also not terrible especially for a new vehicle line. Finally I have had several used vehicles and you never get the use use out of them that you do a new vehicle. I prefer to go new as they last longer and are usually more reliable. I plan to have this truck a long time but would not hesitate to special order another new Ranger in the future.

UR tracker showed my truck in route this morning at 9am. It was delivered to the dealer by 10am. It's now sitting in my garage. Three days after Ford tracker's estimated delivery date. It sat at the rail yard for 8 days before United Road picked it up.

There is still a Ranger that's been sitting at the rail yard since 3/28 but it wasn't put on the transport this morning. I'm not sure how they determine which vehicles get transported first. In accounting terms that's called last in, first out, instead of first in, first out.

Go figure - all the other vehicles that have been delivered to my dealer all arrived in a couple of hours - I have no idea why these are "stuck". I'm just bummed I didn't get my Ranger today..... Gotta wait until Sunday - hopefully it shows up at the dealer between now and then.

Ordered mine 12/1 and looking Mid-May. It's on the way. I had a change in thinking a few years back and that was "Set your expectations low and you won't be disappointed" Generally, I am rarely disappointed. In this case, April was my hope but May was my expectation. See how it plays out.

I'd special order again...only way I can get what I want. Good news is I will have a Ranger to enjoy while I wait if I special order another Ranger in the future.

Update on mine - I got notification this morning that it was delivered. But it took almost 24 hours to deliver it. It says it was delivered at 2:43am this morning, and the tracker updated to showing delivered as well. I'm going to schedule picking it up on Sunday I hope.

Part of me wishes I hadn't known about the trackers.....

Any updates for my ride? Last check, it was stranded in Salem, Illinois and it was unclear whether it was on a train or what the story was. Hoping that someone can furnish an expected delivery window and any details on where she is....

Generally speaking the "days to delivery" will only update once per day at about 8pm Eastern time. The only exception to that I've seen is when a "status change" occurs (in process to production to shipping, etc). Those seem to occur at the point in time when the status changes.

So if you check it today after 8pm ET, it will be interesting to see what it says. Maybe it will go negative like some others have seen?

Yesterday was 1, today should have been 0. I only check for something to do. The only thing that matters is a call from my son. My steps are not in either, hurry up and wait. :LOL:

After 8 weeks at the plant, my truck made it on a train on 4/4. After a stop at a Toyota plant, it has reached the GM plant near St Louis. Only a 100 mile truck ride to the dealer left. Next week!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know how often Vehicle Tracking gets updated? If it's only once a day, I don't want to constantly check it if it's not changed from when I checked it earlier in the day. And a side question, how long does it stay 'in production'. Mine first showed to be in production on 03/04, but it's still there today.
It updates 8:00 pm ET. but I have experienced changes to my dates during the day.
