Good to know. Hopefully it isn't delayed too long.

Does anyone know of any other tracker sites? I put my VIN in both the Jack Cooper and United Road trackers and both come up as not found. I know I'm obsessing over this too much - I should just sit back and be patient....
It'll come, but I know how the wait just works on a person when you're really excited to get something. Shipping time on these things is all over the place. At least where I live it seems to currently take 4-6 weeks. Of course only a few days of that time the vehicle is actually moving. It seems like a vehicle just sits at different yards and depots for days if not weeks at a time. In the day and age of Amazon Prime it is frustrating. I understand it takes time to ship something like a vehicle, but 4-6 weeks seems like the logistics system is broken.

Mine took the northern route and then all the way to Bosie, ID, then back to Laural, MT and then sat almost a week waiting on the trucking company to get enough vehicles to make a full haul. The dealers are dependent on contract companies that don't work for them, but directly for FORD, GMC, etc...

I’m in the very Western part of SD and our dealer gets their stock through Laurel, MT as well. Mine was built March 2nd, but I’m expecting mid-April before I get it. Last update I received is that it’s in transit, but still sitting at the rail head south of the factory. If it comes sooner it’ll be a nice surprise. My current F150 lease ends Apr. 27th so it should work out pretty good.

can't Ford pinpoint it with the GPS in the sync 3 system? if they can't even find it guess you'll have to have your dealer find you a similar truck.

I would be calling the dealer 2 or 3 times a day for updates, stopping in 3 or 4 times a week to harass them, get info for someone higher up in Ford and call and email them daily. There is no excuse for this and the more you bother them, the more likely they are to do their job.

The GM of the dealership just text me to say there is and issue with steering wheels for some rangers and mustang's he will find out tomorrow if mine is in that issue or what the problem is if that's not it. Wish me luck that they have shipped it and didnt update the tracker?

That's my next step if they cant do anything I got my ranger for 35k flat and that's what I'll pay for whatever is closes to mine if they cant get answers.

I ordered my truck on Jan 24, 2019,
Got my vin a couple days ago 39237, build date is April 1st, and delivery to CA is supposed to take 3 weeks. They said because we ordered through fleet sales, it’s lower priority ‍♂

I guess I should feel lucky. We have the same blend date and I've been in "Awaiting shipment" since the 19th.

Mine updated today from Awaiting Shipment to In Transit.
I'm still stuck in "Awaiting Shipment"..... :(

Meanwhile, my truck is stashed in some far off corner of the plant parking lot awaiting a steering wheel. So sad.

that has to be some sort of excuse. what is so special about your steering wheel that is different from everyone else's truck being built?

I’m thinking of offering to send them an aftermarket wheel to see what the next delay excuse will be. Spray in bed liner, no rail cars, steering wheel and ?.
