Mine made a weird detour to Alix, Alberta and has been sitting there since last night. Hopefully it gets moving soon.

Last update 7/8 got to ramp 6 in MO. What are chances it has headed to AZ already and just not updated in system?

Probably Avon Lake, Ohio. I live near there and hope mine ends up there soon as there is a NFS station there and my dealer is 15 mins away from it.

What did Ford chat status indicate?

Exactly that. At ramp 6. Last updated 7/8

There is a Ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO; Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS; Ramp 6M Argentine, KS; Ramp 6P, Kansas City, MO; and maybe more. The first one is where all MMEs get offloaded from Mexico, the others are where MMEs get loaded onto new railcars heading to a ramp near their destination (usually this ramp is on the window sticker). Ford's chat update will indicate railroad company, railcar #, and date your MME was loaded onto that railcar at one of the other Ramp 6s. The next update will be arrival at the destination ramp. Ask Ford chat if there is a railroad company and railcar # associated with your MME. If there is a railcar #, use the TRACKERS link at the top of this Forum to track that railcar #.

Car was delivered earlier, Ford still shows estimated delivery of 8/23-8/29. I wonder if they are going to give me the option to buy online.

It does show Arrived Rail Ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO; - Railcar # KCSM008240 (Kansas City Southern Railway Co ).

They don't have any other information and the above is updated as of 7/18.

That's a long time to be sitting around at the arrival ramp. I have seen on some other threads about their cars occasionally falling into these delivery black holes, and sometimes they do magically appear somewhere else along the way, but I also remember that BNSF announced some kind of embargo on shipments destined for California for the month of July, but I don't know if that would impact anything headed to AZ. Hopefully that's not the case for you!

Mine sat at the same ramp with the same status for 7 days before the status changed.

Mine has been sitting at ramp 6r since 7/10. Final destination is OK

Then the trucking company that takes the MME from Ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO to one of the other Ramp 6s is waiting for that railroad company to tell them to bring it over. A railroad company doesn't like to ship partially filled railcars so they wait until there is enough vehicles to fill a railcar. My CR1 waited there for 4 or 5 days before it was trucked to Ramp 6M Argentine, KS.
