Yep! Congratulations.

Wow! Will see if the dealer contacts me!

I’ve got modules on my VIN number, lots of them…what do they mean? What can I do with this information, anything? Is there anything specific I should look for?

You can't do anything with the module data. It just means that you BS has been powered up and the electronic modules are reporting information. Basically, your BS is either at or near the end of the production line.

Argh, the ordertracker app and the Canadian Ford site says my badlands has been delivered. The US tracker says it's been shipped. My sales guy yesterday said it wasn't there. Just don't know who to believe! Does the ordertracker use the Canadian site by chance?

Alas, I wait... And go on vacation for 2 weeks tomorrow so at least 2 more weeks of waiting.

Call your dealership. The US site is still running on dialup for updates.

The modules will show up when the car has started to come to life. The electronics have been turned on, so it has reached some point in production.

SO i have this giant list with 3 columns "modules" (blank) , Addresses (which has" 7b1-01-01", and climbing) and lastly "instructions" which has either a 4 digit code (example "00A8") is blank.

what am i looking at?

Dial up? What's that? ( he he - I'm old enough to remember)

I don't know that anyone has deciphered what the module information means, other than just know that the modules are reporting, which means your BS is alive and nearing the end of production.

I sure hope they are protecting the vehicles well from all the rail dust for these generally long treks the trains take because you can end up with a clear coat full of rust colored metal specs if not. Obviously not noticeable or as noticeable on a dark colored car depending on the color, but they will be there regardless if they didn't plastic wrap all the essential panels for transit, especially the horizontal surfaces. Just a heads up that everyone should check their paint for smoothness and these specs at time of delivery. I'm hoping they are using more so the fully enclosed auto carriers but have seen it a lot on Ford vehicles in the past that even on my personal vehicles I've had to gently clay bar out of the clearcoat. The dealers will frequently miss it (or ignore it) if their dealer prep and detailing is fairly basic and superficial.

Since I've heard some cars are being delivered 7-10 days earlier than the Ford estimate, I decided to take a pro active approach to any possible problems at the delivery that Ford estimates to be 7/22-7/28.

I ordered online through Ford of Horsham, in Pa and I'm in Va. I sent my sales rep an email, in regards to the $1000 order incentive that was in place in January (which they claimed to know nothing about at the time of order) and asked for a rail car number. Me, after a few hours and not necessarily wanting to wait days to hear back, decided to try Ford Chat. They referred me to Ford Marketing about the incentive and I was given a sales incentive certificate number, though they couldn't tell me how much it was for or exactly how it was to be used. I found that odd. As to the Rail car number, Chat told me the car had arrived in Burnham, Illinois and was in the Norfolk Southern Corp yard but that it wouldn't be much use, as it was off the rail car!?

Can anyone imagine it being moved from one rail car to another? I don't think so.
Can anyone imagine it being trucked from Illinois to Eastern Pa.? I can't.

Haha oh wow yes I do feel old now too! Hard to imagine a time now when the internet wasn’t quite so ingrained in our lives with devices everywhere.

As I've posted previously, my BS OBX arrived at the rail yard in Portland, OR on June 23, 15 days ago, which I'm sure many of you will agree is excessive! No updates since on any of the trackers, from Ford Chat or from the dealership other than restating the delivery window of July 7-13. Today, through Ford Chat, I received this info:

Does anybody have experience tracking through this company? I don't see an option for that on their website but they do post an office phone number and email. Should I try that? Ford Chat said it was in transit yesterday (July 7) but I find it hard to believe that it won't arrive at the dealer 160 miles from the rail yard until July 13. I'm thinking they are just sticking to that original delivery window just in case. Thoughts or reassurance anyone?

It's here, just got word my BSBL has arrived at the dealership. Arrived late so all prep will be done Monday. I can go after noon to pick it up. Glad to have the waiting almost over.
