My truck has not been updated since 12/23. Today my salesman emailed me this:

"Moving through Tennessee in a Norfolk Southern rail car ETA 1/6-1/12."

My last ETA was 1/5/16 and I am in VA so this is promising.

Sure hope you get yours sooner than later. Mine had a build date of 12/2 and original ETA was 12/31 but on 12/24 they changed it to 1/18. I'm hoping mine comes in before the 18th.

Have you been given an updated ETA?

There was no ETA for about 2 weeks. Then was given Jan 8th and then a few days later Jan 14th. Found out today that my truck has since been unloaded at the rail yard here in Omaha. Now just hoping it makes it to the dealership well before those dates

Sounds like you are in the final stretch also. Hopefully you did not order a silver truck

My dealer told me they usually have the trucks in their lot less than 72 hours after they arrive at the rail yard. In my case it was in in two days.
P.S. Mine was silver.

The silver comment was to poke fun at whats going on in the "Field Service Action: Oil Pressure" thread.

All my window stickers of the 8 super dutys that I have purchased over the years say convoy all from the same dealer and he says they come from Kentucky to Toronto Canada on one truck to a central warehouse then sent up north here with a sub contractor shipping company. I've seen my super duty's come in town on a transport and stop at the local gm dealer to drop vehicles there then on to ford
