Why can't you go to the plant and pick them up there and drive them home? Use the $1100 delivery for the trip.
Has to do with marketing laws. All states make it illegal to direct market vehicles and they have to be sold through independent dealers. Picking it up direct would violate contracts and laws which have been effect for years.
So Epic, did u get your truck? Mine builds this Friday.
I ordered a '13 and in March that year I tracked it thru ND on its way to Laurel. One morning I checked and it was in my town of Dickinson. I took my boys on the way to school and found the rail car. About a half mile from the elementary school. We drove down along the train tracks til we found it....
My wife walks around the house teasing me saying "TTGX" cause she can't stand the way I say it in the phone. She laughs each time too...
Yes, I picked up my truck yesterday and have all of about 30 minutes in the driver seat. I'm about to post up some photos as stuff. Building and tracking was fun and all but I'm glad to be done with that phase. I used keypad entry for the car name and number so the only thing I would have to speak was "DONE". It was always hilarious because my wife would be quietly scrolling down on Facebook or whatever and I would be on the phone punching numbers and then out of nowhere I would sharply say "DONE". Scared her almost every time. She'd yell at me to "STOP IT!" and I'd say "I love you honey..." with that little grin.
Call the dealer and get your rail car number. It will be on the vehicle history/visibility report. Then you can use the phone system to follow the rail car all the way to it's final destination.
Once the vehicle is "in transit" it will have this info on the Visibility report? I ask because as of this evening Ford Chat has told me my truck is "in transit" but still can't give me an ETA. I will be calling my dealer in the morning and also Customer Care to see if they can extend my 4 (yes four) $750 private cash coupons since they expire Saturday and I don't expect to take delivery by then. Or if they can even use all 4 of them.
