I’m outside of Little Rock, Arkansas and the Dealership is in Hot Springs. We are actually pretty close by rail to the Kentucky truck plant in Louisville. I suspect the truck went from Louisville to Memphis by rail then a contract hauler brought it into Hot Springs. I’m definitely one of the lucky ones on shipping times.

Here’s the full timeline: Order date 10/21/21 F-450 Platinum Rapid Red Received VIN 2/1/22 Original build week scheduled for 3/7/22 Build week pushed 8 times then settled at 5/2/22 Window sticker appeared and tracker changed to in production on 4/27/22 UPDATE: Module codes populated today! Received BUILT email and tracker has updated to built 5/4/22 Received Shipped email and tracker has updated to Shipped 5/6/22 Estimated delivery May 31st to June 6th Got the call this morning May 21st. 7 months to the day.

First look. She’s got some big hips. ?

Big update from the tracker this morning:

I believe it’s a hurry up and wait thing. I haven’t talked to my sales manager, so I don’t even know if I’m off the ramp in Kentucky. Is the VVR the only source to get rail car information (car # for tracking)?

Great news. Looks like your delivery date is a few days ahead of mine. (I’m scheduled for delivery 5/31 to 6/6) I have to be in western Colorado by June 6th to teach a drilling class. IF it gets here on time, I’m going on an extended break-in road trip! 2,500 miles should do it. ?

My modules haven’t shown up yet at the motor craft service site. ?

Manko, you are correct. Ordered on 10/21 and scheduled for 5/2. I have to teach a class in Colorado the week of June 6th so I’m hoping to take it on a break in road trip.

My F-450 Platinum also went to production today. Looks like my truck and crashman-405’s are going to be cousins. ?

And my 450 platinum is scheduled for the week of May 2nd. Hopefully, I’ll be the pathfinder for y’all. I just spent half a day putting new axel bearings and brakes on my current vehicle. At the same time I’ve got another SUV down for a transmission rebuild. Guess I could always drive my old dump truck until this saga is complete. ?

I’m sure glad to see another F-450 getting built. I’ve got an F-450 Platinum on order. Hopefully my build week will quit pushing and actually go into production.
