I think this has been discussed once, but a while ago and I can’t find the thread again. I have a build week of 4/4, and wondering how long from then it usually takes to arrive at a So Cal dealer?

I’ll be unable to pick it up from the dealer for a two week time frame starting the end of April. So I’m hoping it arrives before or after that. I don’t want to chance the dealer selling it to someone off the street while I’m unavailable.

Previous experiences, suggestions, etc all appreciated!

have you tried talking to your dealer about it? tell them your situation and maybe get a written proof that they will hold it until you get back. Maybe sign some paperwork before hand to prove you'll be purchasing it.

This is a great idea, and something I plan to do. Just haven’t reached out to the dealer yet.

Even though I'm in Oregon, my bronco went down to LA and came up north, correction still coming up north. It took about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks or so from the time it was made to get to CA. There are many variables can can make it faster or slower but I'd guess around that

Also curious if it is possible to pick it up directly from the factory and drive it home?

unfortunately no, it has to make it to the dealer. Your purchasing it from the dealer, not directly from ford so they have to acquire it from ford and get it on their books, which they won't do till they have it in their possession, then you can purchase it from them.

I was assuming so. It was a fun thought for a moment.

It took mine approx 2 1/2 months to get from MAP to San Diego. At one point it was sitting on a rail car without movement for 21 days. Then it sat at my dealer about another 2 weeks waiting for a chip. As Rex said, it totally varies. There were others in my build week from SoCal and for some it only 3 weeks from ship to delivery.

Wow, and I thought MY ship time was long! Mine was shipped on 9/9 and I took ownership on 10/6. It stalled quite a lot during the beginning. CSX was able to get it to the Chicago beltway interchange where it sat for a solid four days, once it was onto BNSF railraod, it made slow progress for another 10 days or so flowing south through Kansas City. After that, it was basically moving two states a day. It waited a solid 4-5 days as the San Diego railyard before Gosch Ford in Esconsdido got called to have their carrier retrieve it. Some folks in the build week after me got theirs much faster. There is an auto depot for BNSF in Riverside, and in San Diego. One of those two will be your landing zone before its hauled to dealer.

Looks like I'm the latest here. Blend to Build 3/4-3/6. Shipped 3/8 or 3/9. EDD to Temecula Gosch Ford, 3/22-3/28. Can't count on dealers for delivery times. I was told 4 wks, then 4-6wks, now it looks like 3-4wks. Of course this all depends on it getting out of MAP in a timely manner.

Mine's headed through socal to Bakersfield. Been 3 weeks still not showing taken off at rail yard. It's pretty slow. Hopefully I won't need chips installed when it gets to dealer as well, ugh.
