Wow mine has a freight number and says pending convoy. That’s news to me as the ford tracker has nada and my last update was chip hold.Hi guys! I've been lurking for quite awhile without an account and have taken a lot of tips from here when figuring out order information. My wife and I ordered a '22 Ford Explorer ST and are looking to also get a Bronco!
I'm a software engineer by trade and build a lot of side-projects in my free-time. I spent the weekend building this:
ordertrack.app
It's a website to track your vehicle order. I hated having to lookup all of the information separately so I ultimately built something that had everything in one place.
Current Features:
- Search history on home page to allow easy refresh of data
- Shipping integration to see shipment details (palsapp took down their order lookup) -- only shows convoy at the moment.
- Sticker lookup
- Vehicle status
I will be adding more features:
- Estimated order-to-ship time based on an average of user orders
- Historical status (when the vehicle was in order submit, in production, shipped etc)
- Module information (I haven't yet looked at Ford's systems to see if an integration is possible yet) or link to modules page
- Link to Ford's tracker (with page already ready to go)
- Canadian user support (potentially)
[EDIT]:
Just an FYI since I haven't added any helpful messages yet:
If the status says: "Vehicle Unknown", then Ford's systems are saying that they order is not yet ready to be tracked or the VIN/Order is invalid
The shipping information will always say 'Unknown' for Rail as I haven't yet integrated with any rail systems. I will be adding details about how you can get information by phone as well as disclaimers about avoiding talking to humans as we don't want to piss people off by our nagging (haha). It sucks being so excited about ordering and having to wait too long!

Thank you man, it worked great for me!Hi guys! I've been lurking for quite awhile without an account and have taken a lot of tips from here when figuring out order information. My wife and I ordered a '22 Ford Explorer ST and are looking to also get a Bronco!

Stone Blue, nice choiceHey it's good to be skeptical/wary of strangers online, but the cloud is just a network of connected computers (your laptop at home is part of the cloud).
In this case, the 'cloud' you are referring to lives in my basement I will not and am not using any data for personal/monetary/political gain as this is just a way for me to keep my skills up while also building out tools I'll be using for real business ideas. It's just for fun and by no means does this tool come with a warranty of any kind. To the best of my ability, I follow best practices for keeping data safe while in my hands. You can take a look at the little privacy link if your interested. Basically I do not store data for more than 1 hour. After which if no interaction occurs between you and my app, your data just goes "poof"!
For some credibility, here is a photo of my order sheet and my staircase server rack
Only allows me to enter the first 4 numbers of my order #
You can private message me your order and vin if you want and I can try and see what’s up with it. I’m still working on all of the different scenarios. I only had my order to build everything off of so I’m sure I’m not handling all the cases properly.Its stuck on a loading screen for me.
If you want to private message me your order and vin I can see what’s up. Have you gotten any emails? Does Ford’s tracker work from the email?Its stuck on a loading screen for me.
No I have everything on my private server. I’ll open source it eventually. All of my automation runs locally to build and deploy the app and I’d rather not expose those tools to the web.Very cool, is the code public anywhere?
Oh yeah! Looks very nice when the dealer had a vehicle on the lot to show my wife and I!Stone Blue, nice choice
The ford tracker works intermittently for me. I have build week of 3/28. This was my image yesterday. Today it can't find it.If you want to private message me your order and vin I can see what’s up. Have you gotten any emails? Does Ford’s tracker work from the email?
