8/1/22 Build Week Group

[68 galaxie]

Mine arrived at the rail yard 30 miles from me last Sunday and didn't show up at the dealership until Thursday morning.

From Monday on, every time I was anywhere close to the dealership I drove through the parking lot and looked in all the service bays to see if it showed up. Finally on Thursday morning I drove by and spotted it in the detail shop getting cleaned up.

This has been one hell of an adventure (I could use a better word or phrase to describe it, but I would probably get banned).

In the end it was worth the wait.

It's been about 100 degrees out all weekend, but I was able to start making a small dent in the pile of stuff I have accumulated for it while waiting.

Good looking ride, I got the 4 dr outer banks in white.. Mines at the dealer in Jax ,but I’m on vacation and want get it till August 30th. The dealer is prepping it and said he would send me a few pics, hope to post them soon, congrats enjoy the rides

I assume we are in the same boat (Tampa FL). I just called and it said Released on a “Bad Order” with no “Estimated delivery” have you happened to hear anything from your dealer? I haven't gotten an email from ford since my built email. No picture, nothin.
Hopefully it gets figured out quickly. Feeling like luck is not on our side!

called the train 2x a day with the same message your getting my dealer is useless as I’ve stated before I get more info here. Still in Baldwin Fla.

EDIT:::: AS OF 03:30 this morning the train was enroute to Tampa !!! Tommorrow is my stop.
good luck Glennbob.

Going to pick mine up at 3PM!! Got the call from Ford of Sunnyvale that they're doing PDI. Kinda surprised because the backdoor link had a delivery of 8/24-8/30 as late as this AM (it's updated now LOL). Will add a pic when I grab it.

Just got off with Ford chat again… mine is still sitting on ramp 51 in the MI rail yard. No railcar info and no updates since 8/118/24-8/29 was my original delivery estimate then it went to 9/4-9/10 but I don’t see that happening now either. And I never got the assembly line pic🥹 I

I betcha you got impacted by the automobile shipment delays.

The good news is it is supposed to end Sept 4th.

I’m in central California, we have a railroad embargo on cars, car parts and some agricultural supplies on top of all the other shipping issues. The crappy thing is that it’s been sitting there for 2 weeks while people an hour from me have picked theirs up. I have to run some errands today so I’ll check with the dealer.

After >3 weeks in production, I’m reluctantly becoming a pessimist and finding it hard to believe the status will ever change. The original delivery date range of 8/14-8/20 has come and gone, and there still isn’t an updated delivery range. Supposedly a shipping issue; curious to see if any priority is given to earlier blend dates when being assigned to a convoy

3 weeks? That’s crazy! Yours is still showing in production? … I’m blaming my shipping issues on the fact that I’m in California and I know everyone hates delivering here my youngest drives OTR and gripes every time he delivers to Cali

Right there with you, 8/2 blend and still waiting "in production"

I plan on swinging by the dealer every day this week, hoping mine was one of the ones they just never updated the status on...

You are not alone, with the exception that my window moved from 8/10-816 to 8/24-8/30. i am not holding my breath. My dealer told me on average two weeks to two months. Living in Pittsburgh and being 4 hours away you would think it wouldn't be an issue. Combine Ford's self inflicted issues with a driver shortage and the only thing I know is that it is all a crap shoot.

The unfortunate part about my order is that my dealer is located in Tennessee, but life has changed over the last two years and I'm moving to Montana in a week. I was hoping that the 8/1 blend would get it to me by the end of August, but now it's looking like I'm going to be shipping it nearly 2,000 miles across the U.S. via 3rd party (I had originally planned to tow it on an auto carrier behind the UHaul). No telling what that shipping cost is going to be, but I think it's better than an immediate 2k miles and a 25-30 hour trip.

That really sucks and yes you are not left with an easy option. I am hoping that it will show up in time that you will not have to worry about shipping it 3rd party. Wishing you the best possible outcome and keep me posted.

I share y’all’s sentiment. I am convinced this has all been a dream and mine will never arrive. That I will be in a perpetual state of “in production.”

Day 6 reservation and more than two years later, I’m at the end of 2022 production, 1959/2030 on the production line, and still in production after an 8/5 blend.

Not anything y’all haven’t experienced but this has taken a toll on my mental health. I can’t not think about it and I currently see the world in its entirety with more pessimistic eyes. It’s bad I know and I know it’s just a material thing but gosh darn. I just want it to be over but I have no idea if or when that be.

Good luck y’all and I hope y’all are taking it better than I am.

Hang in there, it'll be worth the wait! If not, sell it and make yourself a few bucks for your troubles.

I appreciate it. I’m know it will be and I have heard that many a time. The last mile is the longest.

I am keeping this damn vehicle for as long as I can haha. Put too much time and energy into it.
Thank you again.

Ford Chat
"Nathan, I see that your vehicle is currently in transit and located in Flat Rock, MI. Its ETA is between Sep-07-2022 and Sep-13-2022. Its last mode of transport was listed as convoy on  Aug-17-2022. Currently there is no rail-car or convoy information listed. I would recommend continuing to check back periodically for any new updates!"

Good chance our broncos are going to be in the same rail car.

You are not alone, I share your exact sentiments. 8/3 blend and I’m convinced I’ll be in this status permanently.
