Called ford. They issued a case, but nothing from there. Said wait till Tuesday see if it shows up. It's been 7 days just sitting there. Ford won't help. Dealer won't help. I guess I'm stuck waiting

I'm on the verge of walking in to local dealership and purchasing one off the lot. Problem is I'm supposed to leave here next week to the desert. I'm not sure I'll get enough time to put 1000 break in miles before leaving.

Then again, I don't want to make a decision on anger either, even though this is beyond ridiculous

anyway to track if the truck has been picked up by the transport truck?
I know my truck was delivered to Roper on 12/6 which is 350 miles from its final destination
Supposed to be at my dealer 12/11, 2 days from now. Just want to see if it is on its way

The trucking company that has the delivery contract at the Roper terminal is pretty on top of things. You could call them but I know from experience that they are not open on the weekend. At this point you just go with your original plan which is to dry by the dealership every 30 minutes. The driver can drop off the truck any time of the day or night.

Kylant, I just googled your VIN. You might want to take a look at this link. It already has a stock number RN13708. Shows to be in stock.

We have billing for the rail car your truck is on but we don't have the rail car yet. We should have it within 24 hours.

Correct. Any clue what this means as I'm located in Nebraska. I've contacted Ford and they say it's in transit with no ETA. Was supposed to be delivered to my dealer earlier this week

I'm guessing your truck will be transported by truck from Mesquite, TX to your dealer.
