    2015 F-Series Super Duty

    in F-Series SuperDuty Forum

    Posted

    Thanks blwnsmoke, not sure why it is taking so long to build after receiving my window sticker but it seems like it has not been built yet and is still in production. I ordered March 7, window sticker was generated 15 April and no notification on build. Just wondering where it's at.

    Was shining up the new truck. Noticed I already have stone chips on the front grill underneath the Superduty Logo. I thought this would be a tougher material as it will take the brunt of the flying objects. Never noticed this on my 2005. I have not driven it on gravel, so it is from town and highway driving. I have a little over 1200 miles and figure by the time it hits 10000 it will look like crap. Anyone else getting this and don't know if it should be reported to the dealer. I would have been willing to pay extra for SS grill trim. I'm pretty anal about the upkeep. Any ideas on prevention, clear film? Hope someone comes up with a aftermarket that will hold up better.

    They're probably trying to make sure a car carrier is full or a train car to a region is full before sending out vehicles. IF they're paying for a truck or rail car no matter how full it is, they'd actually lose money filling it with only 1 car.

     

    I'm also waiting on car currently in production and not justifying it, but I understand it for the most part.

    I understand it also but it gets irritating when they change the date 3 times and plans have been made to use the vehicle to pull your 5th wheel on vacation.

    I'm sorry nothing new to report. Exactly the same as last time.

    I wonder what the average is they make on each truck in shipping. It doesn't cost them the same to ship to all destinations. I think that is the delay. Train car rental, just a figure $500. Ship 1 on car only $475 profit. Ship 10 on car $9475 profit. They hold them for the greatest profit margin and screw the customer. I wish someone from Ford would chime in on this but I doubt it because that's the way it works. The $500 could be $5000 but who knows. It is still not customer satisfaction driven.

    Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to receive it by Labor Day but I won't hold my breath as that only give them 2 1/2 weeks (jab) to ship after build. It is a whole 700 miles after all.

    Will be my 3rd Superduty and 7th Ford truck! Love the truck, hate the wait!

    Still sitting on the dock or has it been released??

     

    Thanks

    Not always true. The window sticker only shows the initial mode of transport. In this case it will endup going rail, but it first needs to be transported by truck from KTP to the Norfolk Southern rail yard in Shelbyville, KY and this is why the window sticker says convoy. The only time the window sticker will say rail is if it will be shipped directly from KTP via CSX...

    Right. It would say rail if it was going by rail.

    I called Jack Cooper trucking and she says truck was on hold and to call our Ford Rep. So I call Ford Customer service and she says it is on the dock waiting for transport and doesn't know what on hold means. Scheduled for delivery same as you said week of the 30th.

    Thanks for your help. Must be on hold until pick up of the pick up. Ha Ha

    As of Wed August 18th, it was sitting on Ramp 1K at Kentucky Truck awaiting shipment showing "Origin Received - (Jack Cooper Transport Co Inc )".

     

    No updates, so it may not have left yet, but still an ETA for the week of August 30th.

     

     

    Has this truck left the dock yet! Called the trucking company. They said they don't ship to Nebraska so most likly going by rail.

     

    Thanks

    The order was actually just sent to the plant today. You are "Scheduled to Day" for Aug-17-2010. Preliminary ETA is listed as of the week of Aug 23, but I wouldn't put too much stock into that date as of yet. That is only a week after it's estimated build date.

     

     

    Looks like my truck was built. Do you have a way to find out when it will ship? I appreciate the help!!!
