F250 Lariat Tracking Request
 

Good evening, I joined on the 19th and ordered the truck on the 11th of July. May I please get the status of the truck:

Dealer Code: F53420
Order Number: 0712

The salesman said something about the truck being built the last week of the month, but I don't know if that means this week that just finished or next week... Thanks!

Sean

Hi San
I see 2 F350's with the info you gave
They might have another dealer code, it was ordered under.....providing the order # applies to your truck

confirm the dealer code
when did you ordered it?
is it white?

I ordered it on July 11th. I got the dealer code from a spec sheet the salesman made up before I visited, but I made a couple of changes. The order number came from an email he sent me, which didn't have a dealer code.

I'll ask him for the info today. Sorry to waste your time, and hopefully I can get a VIN soon to make it easier.

Sean

Is it a Regular Cab in Dark Blue Pearl? Or is it White?
6.7l 4v Hpcr V8 T/c Dsl 400hp ?

No, sorry, it's a Sterling Grey F250 6.2L Crew Cab. When I first talked to the dealer he had printed out an example of a truck he could order, and it was almost the same as the one I'm getting, but the color and a couple of options were wrong. So I went and we set up a new order for the specific truck. I forgot to ask for a new invoice, so he sent me one in an email. It wasn't formatted right, and it doesn't seem to have the dealer information on it:

Really, it's not urgent. This morning I sent the salesman an email to find out the status and see if it has a VIN yet. Back on the 19th of July he told me the build was "scheduled for the last week of the month" which must be this week. He also said that "We should have a vin number right before the build."

I'll come back when I get a VIN or more info from the dealer... Thank you for helping though!

Sean

Must have been serialized If it's being build this week

Edit your name out of the invoice above. 2X

2012 F-series SD - VIN 1FT7W2B66CEC66169

Scheduled to Day (Aug-01-2012) Ford Kentucky Truck Plant 2, KY
ETA*Aug-13-2012

Sweet, thanks! I just edited my name out too. Oops...

SETCHAN, can you please tell me if my truck started the build process today? The salesman called yesterday and told me the good news. He said it was due on 13AUG, but could be earlier or later. I wonder if there's any difference because it's coming on convoy from Kentucky.

Anyway, it's too bad because I wanted to go to the track with the motorcycle on 11AUG, and it looks like that won't happen, because I already sold my old truck...

Oh, the VIN: 1FT7W2B66CEC66169

Thanks!

Produced Ford Kentucky Truck Plant 2, KY Aug-01-2012,

In Transit - Shipped Convoy - Convoy # 692215031 (Jack Cooper Transport ) Ramp 1K, Kentucky Truck, KY Aug-02-2012, 06:43 ET
*Aug-13-2012

I would think it'll arrive earlier

Holy cow that's fast. I know the old joke about not having a motorcycle built on a Monday or Friday, and that the Wednesday bikes are the best, because nobody's hung over from or looking forward to the weekend. I guess a Wednesday truck is about the same.

It's only 600 miles from Kentucky to Kansas City, so hopefully it will get here soon. Awesome news, and thanks for the info, SETCHAN.

Sean

SETCHAN - I don't think there's much more you can tell me about the truck since it's in transit, but I do have some general questions. You can answer them or not, but I'm just curious.

Do trucks normally take less time as they reach the end of the model year?
Is it faster to go convoy or rail?
Do trucks come out of Kentucky or Dearborn faster?

Thanks again for everything you do for all of us impatient future owners.

BTW, here's my VIN, if you could give me one more update: 1FT7W2B66CEC66169

taking a train ride
Received - Lse40031 (Norfolk Southern Corp ) Ramp 8P, Shelbyville Mc, KY Aug-02-2012, 21:33 ET
ETA change Aug-14-2012

Oh that sucks. So they loaded it onto a truck so it could then get loaded onto a train, so it can get loaded onto a truck again once it gets here... And that took an extra day. Bummer!

So I looked around and found out the Shelbyville Mc is not a motorcycle club, but a "Mixing Center". I'm assuming that they moved the truck there, and it will then be put with a bunch of other trucks headed my way. They'll probably be loaded at the Appliance Park, KY rail yard, and then sent straight to Kansas City.

SETCHAN, when you get a railcar number, may I have that please, so I can figure out the status of the truck? Thanks.

VIN: 1FT7W2B66CEC66169

SETCHAN,

May I have an update please, for VIN 1FT7W2B66CEC66169 ? Thank you.

Sean

Arrived Rail - Railcar # TTGX820240 (Norfolk Southern Corp ) Voltz, MO Aug-05-2012, 21:00 CT Aug-13-2012

Oh man, it's 45 minutes away from me, and I may have to wait until next Monday to pick it up because I'm busy after work Wednesday and Thursday and can't get a ride to the dealership until Monday. We'll see how quickly it gets loaded onto a truck - if it gets to the dealership tomorrow, then I can pick it up tomorrow night, but if not then it's another week...

Thanks for tracking it SETCHAN. It's funny - my dealer has been calling me and giving me status updates, usually a half day or so after you tell me what the status is. I always let him think he's breaking the good news, because I appreciate him being on top of it. But it's nice to have confirmation from two sources!

Sean

Awesome.. you got a good one there. Most don't want to take the time for this. Plenty of guys asking for tracking here, cant get much info at all from there dealer.

Yes I know - he was Johnny-on-the-spot when I was looking for a truck, and actually printed out an example build based on our phone conversation a week earlier. Now I'm tempted to call him to find out if the truck is at the dealership yet, but I just need to wait and be patient. Unless, of course, you tell me that the truck is at the dealership?

VIN 1FT7W2B66CEC66169

Go get it, it's there

I called and he said it wouldn't be ready by closing (8 PM) today, so I guess I'll have to wait until Monday. Figures - the whole deal took about three weeks, from 17JUL to 07AUG - and now it's going to be another week until I can get it. Well, I'll post pictures on Monday when I pick it up...

Thanks!
 

SETCHAN - thanks for helping me keep tabs on the truck. I went on 13AUG to pick it up and it's awesome. I don't drive it every day, because I usually ride a motorcycle to work, but it's good to have. Last night my wife and I went to a fireworks show and we set the chairs up in the bed - it's huge!

Anyway, I wanted to post a picture. I call the photo "Beauty and the Beast" because it's both our four-wheel vehicles. I'll let you decide which is which...

I would say, the truck is the beauty (domestic) and the car is the beast (import)...:)
Very nice truck you have there. Thanks for the pic.

Yeah, I tried to get to her into a Mustang instead of the Z, but she thought the Mustang was too manly. But hey, the Z is a fun little car, and at least I traded in the Toyota for the Ford, so we're one less import in the household...
