7/4/22 Build Week Chat

[MonorailGold]

I just chatted with Ford reps online ... my MME is now in Laredo, TX. Still showing an estimated delivery date of August 20 to my dealer (Manassas, Virginia). I hope that's a realistic timeline. I want to lock in my financing with my Credit Union soon at the current rates, which will likely go up after Fed meets next week (I'm speculating). Credit Union quotes are good for 30 days. Trying to thread the needle ...

006819 192/872 - Our dealer had one on order prior to us purchasing. We lucked out, it was exactly what we wanted. Signed the paperwork on June 20, the Car was scheduled for July 4 production week. By the time we saw this post with all the info, we already had a sticker and it was shipped. Estimated delivery between Aug 2, and Aug. 8 - To Canada. I believe it's sitting in Texas. I can't seem to get any rail info on it. The order track website has all rail info "dashed". I'm trying to figure out how to get that info.

Ford Chat for Canada might be broken? Just getting " Our live chat operators are assisting other customers. Please close this window and try again at another time." Nonstop.

Hoping it arrives soon, as we're trying to get maximum trade-in for our F150, and with interest rates for used vehicles going up, I'm afraid we've missed our opportunity.

New update for mine is that it went from Missouri to Kansas. Still no update on shipping arrival.

*Edit - My MME is scheduled to be delivered to Pittsburgh, PA on 9/07. I really cannot comprehend it taking 47 days to get to my dealership. I haven't gotten a "new" delivery date.

I was in the same boat with the same ridiculous delivery time to Pittsburgh. I just went from an 8/25-8/31 delivery to a 7/20-7/26 delivery overnight and it's in Lordstown magically. Hopefully you have similar luck. Fingers crossed mine arrives before the weekend!

I use the US ford chat. But be aware it only works if you use a VPN.

Hi.. my MME was built in the week of 7/4 and shipped on the 11th. Delivery to dealer says Aug 20-26. I am wondering if they sandbag and if the car would show up earlier than that. Do you know where to track the shipping? I am in NC and we ship things in my company from Mexico all the time and should not take more than a week. Don't understand the lengthy delivery time.

A phone call to Ford customer service seems to get pretty solid information. I'm calling once a week to keep track.

Dang, mine still shows Ramp 6R as of 7/18. Hopefully I can still get it by Aug/5 at the dealer

Updated on order site - this sounds like it's here to me.

Dealer will contact you soon
The dealership is making the final preparation for your new vehicle, they will be reaching out to you soon to set up your delivery!

My car got off the kcs train in Laredo TX on the 19th and was on convoy to my dealer in Iowa. So either it was in their shipment yesterday (which seems too quick) or it'll be here next week. ?

Mine was in Kansas City yesterday and was transferred to convoy. I just got the call from my dealership that it is being unloaded right now and I can pick it up in a couple of hours!!! I can’t wait to see it.

I just finished speaking with someone who said it's currently in Richards-gebaur, but couldn't (wouldn't?) provide further details, said they didn't have any rail car information. It's bound for Canada on CP Rail, maybe they don't have any more info?

Just drove it for the first time, this car is bananas! Heading in to finance office shortly.
