Also wonder the same, along with the Wildtrak having to get that hood decal. Still waiting for that built email.

Good point! I didn't even think about the hood decal. I just hope that it's not another dirt mountain fiasco waiting for hard tops again.

A little tip I found for the CSX tracking phone number. The recording asks you to speak the rail car initials but it often has a hard time picking up the letters I say. It says you can enter the letters in from your keypad but I wasn’t getting that to work either.

Here is what you need to do:

For each letter in your car initials you need to input TWO numbers. The FIRST number corresponds to the number where the letter is located on the telephone keypad, and the SECOND number corresponds to which letter it is, 1 for first letter, 2 for second letter, 3 for third letter, or 4 for the fourth letter.

For example: My rail car number is TTGX964915 so the initials are TTGX

• T is on keypad number 8 and it is the 1st letter on the keypad. So T=81
• T is on keypad number 8 and it is the 1st letter on the keypad. So T=81
• G is on keypad number 4 and it is the 1st letter on the keypad. So G=41
• X is on keypad number 9 and it is the 2nd letter on the keypad. So X=92

All combined: TTGX = 81814192

So, when it asks for the rail car initials, I just enter in that string of numbers.

Then it asks for the Rail Car Number:

For me this is 964915, the numbers after the initials. I just enter those in.

So now, the only things I need to say are “Location”, and “Done”.

HEY, this was super helpful. Thank you for posting this.

Still waiting for a built or shipped email. I thought I would relax some once my mods popped, but I am more anxious now than before. Mine is coming by convoy, so it might be a while before it ships. I hope it arrives before Christmas. I really want to leave out on a two week road trip a day or so after Christmas day.

 

[Fatdaddy]

So how do you find out the shipping tracking number? Mine was shipped rail. Dealer told me he doesn’t know how to find out the tracking number..

 

[DoubleADuster]

Anyone else who was shipped by convoy see a pattern to how long it takes? I’m 2 days post build and don’t see much pattern from our data to tel how long to ship. My estimated deliver window started today through next Friday.

 

[TakeNoGuff]

According to Ford, it shipped 2 days ago so unless, they are marking "shipped" as being somewhere near a rail car. But with their history, it's entirely possible.

Yours said it shipped two days ago?

 

[BroncocnorB]

I think there’s gonna be a loooong train making a lot of stops headed south before it gets to Tampa.

 

[TakeNoGuff]

Hopping the tracker wouldn't load for me earlier. Also it's got to make a run for the border so it needs to be sneaky

Uh Oh, does you Bronco have a Vaccine Passport? You know how they are at the Border.

I agree. Apparently mine just left MI this am and is on it's way to Cinci now.
