When you get your rail car number, call Union Pacific first. It goes on that line first. Mine hit Nogales, AZ today at 10:35 with an estimated arrival in St Louis on 8/22. It shouldn’t take the 19-26 days after that to get to me like the ETA says for final arrival 9/11-917.

The rail car number or ramp number was not available . I was told it was on UPRR and arrived at Nogales and ETA to the dealership 8/22-26 (next week!)

keeping my fingers crossed it is not scheduled to go BNSF and trucks are ready to go.

Mine sounds like it is going UP all the way to St. Louis.

From what I've read on here, everyone just accepts these delays and doesn't want to fight them. That is what's wrong with our country. Grow some balls people and Ford will listen and react. I've cussed them out, but by myself it's useless. We have numbers and buying power here. USE IT!

Jenbeth has been fighting calling dealer calling Ford like daily until hers shipped.

Also Ford will do what they do without any care for waiting customers. Thats how they roll. And if you bail on your sport guess what happens? Dealer sells your sport with Ford's inflated msrp price and dealer marks up and cashes in on the flood of buyers for every sport that hits their empty car lot.

So if you bail and never buy another Ford again they do not care. They have more buyers then vehicles to sell so in their eyes everything in dandy.

I’m still in production. Very sad.

Two things:

1. I truly think everyone is getting finished up right now. I don’t see anything in the builds that are not in the ones that just finished up. I know that is easy for me to say now that mine has shipped, so I apologize if this comment rubs salt in wounds.

2. I think it is interesting that all the March orders are done but not the February (and Jan/Dec). April makes a little sense because they were supposed to stop taking orders on March 7th or 8th, but why take orders after you put that deadline out there and then not finish them?

It is a little baffling. Look, I understand (but surely don't agree with) how they have allocations and preference and blah blah blah. But my order was in December, with many others in January right after, thousands of identical builds have been built and shipped ahead of that and it's absurd to rationalize that, especially with so much incentive and push for buyers to make custom orders these days.

My batch is 778/1166, no change this morning in the status. Hopefully, we all get that built status soon lol.

Dealer has confirmed on Chip hold and still in Mexico, you’re probably in the same boat

Keep in mind that mine was on chip hold all day until it suddenly switched to In Transit (OrderTrack) Friday evening.

To be fair there's literally nothing that Ford as a company can do to combat a global shortage of chips. I assure you that they would rather be able to produce any vehicle as quickly as they can and bring it to market. Whether that be a customer's special order or a dealer stock allocation. They make money by manufacturing and selling cars. They are actively punishing dealers that are overcharging and are looking to move to a direct-to-consumer business model. However, there are standing LAWS that prevent this that were put in place 50-60 years ago. Overturning that sort of red tape takes years and years. Tesla got around it through a few loopholes but they are a new company and could set up their business that way. Cursing out the poor customer service rep or anyone for that matter doesn't help. If you're that dissatisfied go buy a Jeep or whatever else you can find on the lot for a price you're willing to pay.
