My wife drives 80 miles a day also in rural
NJ/PA. We bought the car for basically the same reason as you so glad to hear it working well. We've had it two weeks and no complaints yet either.
Going to take it on a road trip next month camping. Considering most camp grounds have a 50amp service...
Surprisingly had a very pleasant experience purchasing this car. After getting the rebate/options numbers figured out before I showed up it was smooth sailing from the on out. $2500 rebate, X-Plan, no tax in New Jersey, and no added dealer crap like vin etching or anything made this the best...
I like the wheels on all the models so much better then the regular GT. The black wheels to me look so weird/cheap hub cap designish. Almost like a police steel wheel.
They finally "figured it out" all the numbers look good according to what they told me over the phone. If everything checks out with options plan the total cost of ownership will be less then the MSRP which is great considering I get a lease-like payment for the first 4 years. This doesn't...
Unfortunately cannot pickup the vehicle before 4pm and during the week that's the only time their finance person is there... Soooooooo Gotta wait until Saturday even though the car is sitting at the dealer waiting for me lol.
United road says it was delivered at the dealership at 10:43am. Ford tracker still not updated and no call from the dealership.
I don't want to reach out myself because my distrust for dealers they may take this as an overeager sign to try and get more money out of me.
In route with united road. Should be there today. I wonder if my dealer will be able to turn it around quick enough to have me pick it up today like originally scheduled.
Wow the site also lets you track the actual vehicle carrier lol. This is pretty cool. I can see that its just down the road...
update: Been unloaded off the rail @ 10:36am
United Road has two pickup locations for my dealership according to their website.
FAPS Newark & Ford Auto Ramp Newark they are both 0.8 miles away from each other.
FAPS - Port Newark is where my car left on a flat car this morning
Ford Auto Ramp...
In a crazy turn of events, norfolk now says it departed Newark rail terminal via flat car...
I don't know where it's going considering that's the closest rail to my dealership I think?
0 shot I'm picking it up tomorrow hahah

I put my VIN in and it has a load number & my dealerships name. Do you think that means it was delivered lol?
Same status since the 23rd. It's headed to New Jersey and suffern call bot said it was "unreadable blah blah auto ramp NJ"
Idk if that means it's the end of tracking with suffern or where "auto ramp NJ" is but I think I'm close? I'm prelim scheduled to pick up the car on Wednesday even though I...
So the robot on the phone said it was at an auto ramp In NJ. Couldn't make out the words it said before that. Something like X auto ramp NJ. Very close though. Scheduled to pick up the whip on Wednesday.
Mentally preparing myself for the games they'll try to play in finance.
Same status as yesterday. Basically in Pittsburgh PA. It said it was an "intermediate station". I looked at their rail map and they have a station a lot closer (Bethlehem, PA) but not sure if this is as far as it goes before it gets on a carrier?
Got railcar number from ford today and called the system. It arrived in Conway Pennsylvania today @8am. Still on its way to New Jersey so its only 1 state away now.
