Interesting, that's hopefully correct. Mine is scheduled for week 1 in January, with an unknown delivery time frame. Seems, it's hard to knock down actual shipping time after being built.

Some of the build threads for December (last of the '23s) are showing as quick as a month from build to expected arrival....but that of course assumes the shipping estimates are correct. And that particular example was going to NC....
There’s a lot of luck that goes with shipping! Most trains make it across the country in three weeks or less but then you need to get trucked from the rail yard to your dealer. That can take a few days to a few weeks.
Best case is you are going by convoy and normally less than a week once you get loaded on a truck. Those are only states basically surrounding Michigan.

Ah, I'm in Michigan. So, it'll be interesting how long it takes.

We’ve seen people in Michigan get them in less than a week. Somewhat the luck of the draw and timing.

Maybe better now, but my 23 BADLANDS, non SAS, High, 2.7L sat on a lot in Dearborn for 12 weeks after being built. (Built 23 Mar, delivered 19 July).

First it needs to get on a rail car after it is built and released, that can take 2 days to several weeks if you are one of the unlucky few that get held up.
once it is on a rail car, it is probably no more than 2 weeks from Michigan to a Houston rail yard. Each metro area has a large rail yard or two that can handle loading and unloading vehicles.
there it can sit until it is picked up by truck transport anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks before it is delivered to your dealer.
so once it is released from the factory, all together, best case scenario is that it gets to your dealer in 2 and a half to three weeks.
a good estimate for most cases is 3 weeks to a month.

Estimated times differ. I was told all along that est delivery was going to be 12/19-12/25. I picked it up last Saturday. I'm in AZ, so it can happen quickly.
That's great to hear man, that's a pretty quick turn around. I ordered mine here in NC back in March/April 2023 and my original build week was Sept 18th before the strikes which then pushed it to the week of Nov 13th. Got my built notice on Nov 17th and then found out the railcar made it to Winston-Salem on Dec 11th. So hopefully it'll be at my dealer here in the next week or so.
About right, my 2023 was built Nov 17th and is expected to get here this week. So about a month from built to arriving. To be honest, it might've been here sooner but when I was tracing the railcar there was about a 4 day delay in Ohio as it was getting serviced. But after those services it made it down to NC in about 3 days.
