Finally made it home. Thanks Michigan for the April surprise snow storm. Just happy after 644 days it's mine!

How is the Mansquatch to drive? Wondering how the 35’s are with the manual while I patiently wait for mine.

He's home!
Highest praises to Gilbert Ford in Okeechobee...Ya'all ROCK!

The easiest vehicle buying experience EVER. Price protection without asking, didn't try and sell me any upgrades or services, even gave me the highest dollar for my Jeep.
Didn't try and force financing, just wrote out my Navy Fed Financing check and told them I loved 'em all when they tossed me the keys.

Been tracking rail and then convoy, saw he was delivered to the the dealer this morning at 3:24 am
Got a text from my salesman w/ a pic as soon as he got into work asking when I wanted to come get 'em
I even just got a text from my salesman asking how the ride home was...Ben Levin is the bomb

Ford email scheduled delivery 4/18 - 4/24
Next up....lift, wheels, tires, nerf step, retro stripe, tint.

What shall I name him?

Congrats everyone! Missing everyone on this thread, but so happy most all are enjoying their new rides! Mine still sits at MAP, but have high hopes I will have it in my driveway soon!

It's a hoot. I rowed through the gears pretty good just a bit ago when I took my wife for a ride. Its not breaking any land speed records but did fine at 80 on the expressway on my 2.5 hour drive home from my dealer. Around town it's fun!

Union Pacific bumps my ETA to final rail yard every day... started as 4/18 and now I'm up to 4/23

WHAT NUMBER ARE YOU CALLING FOR UP? oops caps lock! I only have the CSX number and never have I gotten an ETA

 

[Keerplunk]

it's here...
Picking up tomorrow, Ford AutoNation on Katy - nearby Houston Tx
So far so good with the promise of honor price as agreed on order back in Dec 2021, they even sent a screenshot of the invoice.
I wonder if I should get the AIR DEFLECTOR

looks just like mine!

Same number as CSX (800-235-2352). I transferred from CSX to BNSF but CSX system still tracks the railcars headed west after transfer to other rail carriers. I finally got confirmation of arrival in Portland this morning (actual arrival date Friday, 4/15). BNSF seemed pretty efficient, don't know about UP.

Found the UP number! ETA to Los Angeles is the 19th, last time I tracked with the CSX number it was just outside of Vegas so it seems possible!

Okeechobee? Did the train just drive right by Tampa and forget to drop off my truck?
Lol - Glad you got it! Hopefully, mine is ready today!

Fingers crossed!!! Perhaps we were on the same train!
Did yours have a stop in Taft? That's where mine got off.

Let's face it....there ain't much between Orlando and Okeechobee

Stickerfab overlay and bad bronco stuff turned out good!

I added the amber lights! Yours looks great it’s a little cold to try and make stickers stick lol.

That's what they were saying! I could not understand the CSX voice. I had them repeat it several times, but could not figure it out. Thanks for solving that mystery.

We are getting sooo close. It has arrived at the South Carolina rail yard on the 16th. (1 hr and 20 min away) and we are waiting for a truck to bring it to the dealer.

I'm from the 3/21 week (blended 3/26) and I think we were on the same railcar. My car was unloaded in Cayce/Dixiana on the 16th. Same for you, or are you still on the railcar?
