kgilles82 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Can anyone share how long it took for your truck to arrive at your dealership after it was produced? I understand it will vary based on delivery method and distance from Dearborn but just wanted to get an estimate based on your experiences. Thanks.

kgilles82 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Mine was built last week, still no update from my dealer and nothing from the customer service line as to when it might ship. The waiting continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreground Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Can anyone share how long it took for your truck to arrive at your dealership after it was produced? I understand it will vary based on delivery method and distance from Dearborn but just wanted to get an estimate based on your experiences. Thanks. Ordered 2/21 Built 3/15 Given ETA for week of 3/28 3/21 its on Train in IL. Parts and QA issues aside the long pole item is your dealers allotment for vehicles for you to get scheduled. The 6-8 weeks figure it thrown around as a typical estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdCaffreyMS Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ordered: 18 Jan 11 Built: 19 Feb 11 Released from Factory: 27 Feb 11 ETA: 7 march 11 Still no vehicle, and every detail ran since 1 March has said "awaiting transport, ETA 7 March". My dealer has been checking on it almost daily for me, and FoMoCo is ZERO help. Yesterday was two weeks past the ETA, and the best I know is that it's still sitting in Dearborn with all attempts at gaining information hitting a brick wall.......very maddening!

spunkymonky Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ditto Here! Ordered: 28 Jan 11 Built: 19 Feb 11 Release from Factory awaiting shipment: Feb 21 11 Re released from Factory: 27 Feb 11 ETA: Week of 8 march 11 There are an awful lot of trucks just sitting there on ramp 59 by the sounds of it. If you read through the forums they are tons of people who have had the same status for weeks. The trucks are just sitting. I'm losing patience for sure. I keep extending the lease on the current truck which means I'm losing money by the day. Not impressed Ford! At least give us a real ETA. If you can't pinpoint the ETA within a couple of days in these times of up to the minute tracking then there is a serious problem with your customer service.

kgilles82 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Mine has been sitting on Ramp 59 at the Dearborn plant awaiting shipment since March 17th. Dealership told me one of the trucking companies is on strike so all shipments are being routed through a singe company. Terribly frustrating for customers.

scooter21 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just my opinion, but I think the frustrating part is that there are obviously vehicles that have been sitting there for quite some time awaiting shipment, while other vehicles are getting built and seem to be arriving rather quickly. My truck has a build date of 01/29 with an estimated delivery towards the end of February. It's been released, but it's still sitting there. At the same time, there's plenty of trucks on my dealers lot with build dates in March. I'm trying to be as patient as possible, but when I ordered a truck in January, I wasn't exactly expecting to have to wait until late April-May to get it. At this point, I don't even know if that's going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking along the same lines the other day. If they'd let me, for $975 I could buy a one-way plane ticket and pick up the truck myself. At least then I'd get my break-in miles out of the way on my drive home..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
