Again, mine too was convoy, but it was loaded on a train about a day after completion. Looking back through last posts, many people were exactly the same. Truck to Chicago? maybe... Truck all the way to Jersey? Highly douubtful...
I spoke with my sales guy after I talked with FP this morning. He says all their vehicles come via truck the whole way from Detroit, so once mine is released it should only be a couple days. He did confirm the car is produced and is awaiting release. Shows the same 9/9-9/15 delivery eta. I’m in the western suburbs of Chicago for what it’s worth
I picked Chicago because of you
I’m flattered! Yeah going to Jersey is likely via rail. For the Granger folks, that’s another 4 hours or so west of me so rail to the KC intermodal makes sense. It’s 5+ hours from the Chicago intermodal and only about 3 hours from the KC intermodal so that’s why it goes to KC.I picked Chicago because of you
Flatrock -> Chicago = 282 miles
Flatrock -> New Jersey = 612 miles
I would bet on Her's seeing the inside of a rail car.
KB, you might want to try the FP chat line. Those people kick butt and have WAY better info that everyone else it seems

Idk what all of this is about but for the sake of my sanity, just give the damn railroad workers what they want
I would venture to guess if you can drive a truck you’ve instantly got a job!Idk what all of this is about but for the sake of my sanity, just give the damn railroad workers what they want
On a side note, how quickly do you think I can get a trucking job for ford? I’ll go pick everyone’s cars up myself
My guess is they come to a resolution at the 11th hour. Too many people stand to lose if there is a national rail strike, there will be a lot of pressure on both sides to get something done. They still have a week to go, so fingers crossed
I totally get it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that your MY22 gets scheduled.
Mentioned this one a few pages back and also to my dealer when the rail industry triggered the mandated 30-day arbitration period. My second ETA closes just a couple days before that ends and they're allowed to strike if no reasonable and accepted accommodations are made.
The worst part is that because of where I work, no matter how to gets to or leaves Tulsa (rail or road) it will come within <2 miles of my work as it is getting delivered 60 miles away to the dealership in Muskogee
My picture is of my old '17 eco PP before some guy T-boned it. Had been waiting for GB to come back around on the 18+ S550. It's an amazing color and was easily the most dynamic then as "murdered out" was in, but Ford has definitely been stepping up their color game recently and I'm happy to see the love grow for vibrant performance cars in general again.
You ordered 2 weeks before I did and you haven't been scheduled? Are you working with a small dealership? I went with a large dealership because they get more allocations and my order was accepted the same day. Scheduled in production 2 weeks later.
I'm working with a large dealership in New England. There were apparently 13 orders ahead of mine all of which got scheduled. I am now at the top of the list at a priority 02 with 4 Mach 1's below me at 10s. I think they jumped folks over me that they could make more money on.....
