Yes sir, they are shipped here separately from the vehicle. My hitch is not here yet.
What's the workflow for Ford sending the DIO parts? Do they wait until the dealership receives the truck? My dealership is 2.5 hours away but I am almost certain I'll be the first '24, I have the hitch as well. Really hoping mine doesn't sit because they're waiting on the hitch.

To be honest it’s really hot or miss on when they arrive mine and another 24 that was delivered is still waiting on the hitch

Railcar between Buffalo and Albany...waving to the #billsmafia
Mine has been in Chattanooga for a few days now. That must be a transit spot where the cars get moved to other trains heading south.

I could make some bad dad joke about the Chattanooga choo choo, but that would just make the waiting worse...

I like the raw look of the winch exposed. I bought a Warn winch cover, I'll have to see if it looks decent on. I bought some tow hooks too.

I have the Warn/Ford Performance winch cover I will use it for the remainder of the winter just to try and keep the salt/brine off of it.

Is the rail car service pretty on point? I’ve called and checked the past 3 days and it’s been in Iowa, surely that train hasn’t sat there for 3 days…

They may have unhooked the rail car from the previous train and its is waiting to be hooked up to a new train to its next destination. Especially if it’s changing lines. Mine sat in Chicago for a couple of days until it was transferred from a CSX line to a Union Pacific line.
Makes sense, not sure which line goes where but it was on csx, but the car needs to come south to Houston at some point.

Mine sat and Chattanooga for like 3 days and then started moving again south. I think they just have to swap out the cars based upon the final destination and this is done at some of the big rail yards like Chattanooga.
