July 2022 Waiting Room

[Jenbeth]

But do you know for a fact the car is still on the train, or perhaps was it taken off the train and the train kept moving?

Ford has a record on the invisibility report of every time it stopped at a significant location. Shelbyville has never been one of those places. I also check it frequently and it has never shared that it arrived in Shelbyville, just points before and after. If it has been there, it never stopped for more than hour.

My tracing is odd, it's so hard to understand these sometimes.

I've been getting the best info from NS thus far. Currently it says something like: "RMP Y Bolts Mick Center Missouri? Sep 1 9:02AM. " I can't make out exactly what its saying, this has been the toughest one yet.

UP gives me "Loaded train arrival, Aug 31 9:25 PM Interchange Delivery Nogales Aug 23 Origin Ramp Futah?? Industrial"

It's last "stop" was Kansas City, MO, arrived there Aug 26.

I think we’re on the same train, get your VVR from Granger, mines shows it got switched from Union Pacific to Norfolk Southern. Which seams weird to head north to Des Monies.

Mankato Ford. You?

They are not a good group to work with! I bought my Maverick from them, horrible experience!
I ordered through Granger in Iowa!

Dang. What happened? Do you live here? Any tips for when it comes? I didn’t know anything about granger until I heard they were great on here.

I live in the twin cities area. Ordered from Mankato because they were honoring MSRP, which they did. Wanted to try a dealership that wasn’t in the metro area. Their salesman and managers back stab each other and tell the customer what they think they want to hear.
I would get your out the door pricing emailed to you before you take delivery. Make sure any rebates are listed. Question anything that looks weird, you don’t have to purchase the $400 pulse break thing they put on every vehicle. Just keep your head on a swivel!
I too discover Granger on here. They had a deal that couldn’t be beat! And all positive comments!

Thank you. I have the order form we both signed and I should be price protected. when I ordered there was a 1500.00 rebate and a $1500.00 discount so I think it is a great deal so we will see.

In future I highly recommend Apple Valley Ford. We’ve bought many vehicles through them for 25+ years.
We’re in the Western suburbs but make the drive to them - worth it!

I got MSRP, $1,000 order credit and $2,000 off

I had talked to apple and ford here in mankato matched their offer so got it here since it was close. I am starting to regret not going up there…

When did they make the $2000 off offer? Was it after the price increase?

Kept going past it, then came back following the return route and went past it again. Now it is in Louisville, where I work (live one county over), but the rail yard it passed is in Shelbyville (one county over). The wonderful thing about Ford is that I now know this, but there is nobody I can report it to because everybody points fingers at everybody else and nobody takes responsibility. They’ll figure it out at some point.

Maybe

Mine still doesn't show delivered nor does 2 other ones that came in a week ago according to my dealer. Maybe go check the dealership and see if they have it hidden somewhere

it was a dealer offer on any special order and it was before the price increase. Signed paperwork showing all pricing so no questions.

Check this out - I actually saw my rail car on a Virtual Railfan live stream! Had no idea the number would be written on the side of the autorack, but sure enough, clear as day, there it was! (alongside some rather...colorful political commentary ?)

These are the two clearest screenshots I got, plus a video.

Note: The stream wasn't doing so well quality-wise, it wasn't a bad capture and it's not on your end, it was just unfortunately a bad quality portion of the stream.

The dealership is ready for me to have it. Small town, small dealer. The train hasn’t reached it’s PointOfIndustey yet, so it is still loaded

@Jenbeth . Woke up this morning and they must have been in my bronco. It is activated now and there are 23 miles on it. Map first showed like Berlin Germany and then like Kansas or something weird. Still shows in production. Did yours have that many miles on it? Seems like a lot. Maybe something wrong with it. At least they started it.

I had about 16 before the master reset when I lost connection. when I got the car it was about 20.

touch/click on the address of the vehicle location will take you its actual parked spot.
