Thanks to all who replied. The truck came into the dealer yesterday.. Took a week from the Rail drop off point. He had 4 more cars on his load so they wait. This truck ordering goes smooth. ETA was accurate since the build date. Build date was July 29th. Order date was June 7th. So it took about 9 weeks total.

I have to do a family visit first and that will put on 750 miles. My camper weigh's in at 2800lbs..dry. probably 3500lbs ready to travel.

I know it's off the train and in a parking lot in Ayer waiting for car carrier as of this past Tuesday morning. Is there a way to know when it would or be picked up ? Hopefully it's picked up this morning. I would be grateful if you could find out if it's picked up. 1FT8W3BT3GEA35302 Jim

I have a trip planned since a year ago soon with reservations,etc. I knew it would be close...I'm not ragging on anyone..that's for my daughter in law to do. Ha..So I just need time to smoothly transfer and hopefully get on my way on time. .I have to plan shutting down work and installing new camper tie downs and other things before I go. The dealer told me it would be a day to transfer it to me once it got there. Great..

I see it's off the rail car and in the "Customer Area" at Ayer Ma. As of this early a.m. Is there a way to track when it gets put on the auto carrier? Ayer is only 2 1/2 hrs from here so once on the auto carrier I would think it would be at the dealers during that day.

Ask your salesman for a update. He can do that over the phone. This forum can be slow.. Your truck should be well on it's way to you. Mine built on July 29th. is on a rail car and moving along. The train stops for a day or so at different yards to pickup or drop off I assume cars. So it takes some time to get her. Yours might be real close.

Thanks Pioneer.....I got the rail number and have been tracking it. I guess once it gets to Ayer Ma. for car carrier I won't be able to track it. Maybe you can help then... On a side note it's stopped as of yesterday after noon a 5pm ish at Forstoria and still is there as of 5 pm today (24hrs) according to the auto mated info machine at NSouthern. If it got here the 14th I'd be jumping with joy of course.

Thanks..I got a rail car number from the salesman today. Great news for me. And that procedure you gave above works just fine still. The train left Shelbyville this morning on it's way to Ayer Ma. My dealer said he could prioritize my truck so it gets here ahead of any other vehicle he may have coming.

Cool... Thanks..."received" meaning it's at the rail yard or on a rail car ? probably just the paperwork to have it transported. I would think it is ultimately going to the Ayer Ma. yard for transport by car carrier to me in Northern NH. That is how my 2011 F350 was done.

Thanks....

Thank you for the window sticker.. Can you see if my truck was built and if the eta is still 16 to 22 nd of August?

Been just about a week since the last update. Can I get an update from you? ETA,etc. Thank you.

That would be great a once a week update or something. When it gets very close I'll take out all my tools and supplies and set some time to do what I have to do to it. My dealer already said he'd have the paper work done before the truck came in for the most part, Meantime I'm working hard at getting customers work done so I'm free to work on the truck when it gets in. My dealer is very small..but good.. family owned for 60 yrs. Sales and service reps been there for 25 yrs. It'll be hard for them not to know its there. I'll be on the job.. Ha. Thanks.

Hey thanks.......I hope it's the earlier end of course.. How do I track it after it's built ? It seems I will be ok with the time frame for my needs..It's my work truck but I also use it for my truck camper for vacations. I planned a great trip to Utah for the 3 week of August into September so I need a few days to get the bedliner done,camper brackets odds and ends.. I tried to get my dealer to order a week earlier but he was so busy..but I like them. Great dealer and service over the years.

Ok thanks....So it will be built July 29th.That's a Wednesday. When would a ETA be available? And window sticker? end of next week sometime?
