There's another common description of the personality type. It's called "High Maintenance"

Looks like mine is fixing to hit the Rail. Hopefully my dealer can get the Railcar info for me.

Mine too. A dealer visibility report should show rail info.

Has your ETA changed? My dealer told me today that mine is now 9/5.

The dealer has a sheet with the railcar #.

CSX cars start with TTGX. Most dealers probably dont know what theyre looking at.

Cutter, when you get the rail car info, let us know if the tracking system above still works. I went through the prompts and they seem to be functional.

Just talked to the dealer and he said it was picked up by truck and dropped off at the rail yard awaiting to be put in a car. Said he would check again in the morning and go in and get the railcar info for me.




Will do Epic.

I just checked the Ford Fleet site to see the Thursday update on my order. I noticed two things have changed. First, the ETA changed to 9/4. The second is I now have a rail car number. Armed with the number I proceeded through the process laid out by Epic Cowlick (thank you for the info) to find out it started the journey at 1:41 this morning. Headed to Houston by way of St. Louis. I'll check back daily to track it. Might be good news for my new friends in the Dallas area?

Looks like you will get yours ahead of me. Dealer says 9/5, but chat just told me 9/16. Who knows?

Here is a list of destination ramps shown on the Fleet Site that might be helpful. My order calls out 5B - 05 Galena Park would be the closest to me so maybe it is Ramp B at Galena Park? That makes total sense because it's only 11 miles from the dealership.

That's exciting! Good to know the tracking system is still the same.
