Could be longer... My order date was 7/3, my tenative build week was pushed to 10/4 today. I called and told the dealer I am done waiting, found a truck on the internet and made a deposit this morning, I should have it before they can even get that other order built, much less shipped halfway across the country.

Thanks. Do you know which rail yard (location) yours will be delivered to (CH27)?

BNSF has a big yard in Commerce, CA., about 5 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. It can be seen from the freeway but I never see vehicle rail cars in there.

It has been especially painful since one of the reasons I chose the dealer I did initially was their claim of better allocation than my other choices. That didn't work out so well at all....

It is a bit disappointing for sure. After waiting this long already the bump this morning was the last straw for me. Fortunately I found one really close to what I had ordered and a dealer that has been super responsive. I started the day bummed that my truck was going to take even longer than what was already too long and I will finish the day with my new truck bought, paid for, and ready to hot shot my way. Sold my old truck to my step son for cheap, everybody wins despite Fords attempts to ruin my day.

Try not to take the delays with the ordered truck too personally either. I ordered a 21 in February, it was built in May and sent to purgatory (as was my sanity). Ordered a 22 in June which I received late August. It was a long miserable wait. Ford could have been more communicative, but in the end it worked out.
Oh, and the 21 was delivered 13 days after the 22.

There is a big yard in Bloomington, CA. that offloads rail cars for L.A./Metro area. It's the only one I know of, which is about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. There could be others but this one is visible from I-10.

RAMP CODES
On the Ramp Codes spreadsheet, this one seems the closest to LA.
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->
4500 Etiwanda Ave
Jurupa Valley, CA 91752
Now the original spreadsheet I pulled this from (See Original Facility Guide Tab) has been wrong in a few instances on whether Fords are delivered to a specific location,
If you end up tracking your truck to the final rail yard, can you let me know where it went?
Thanks.

Thanks, I've only been to Cali twice, never in that area so it may as well be Mars to me. Haha.

Congratulations on your new truck, we'll want pictures.
Try not to take the delays with the ordered truck too personally either. I ordered a 21 in February, it was built in May and sent to purgatory (as was my sanity). Ordered a 22 in June which I received late August. It was a long miserable wait. Ford could have been more communicative, but in the end it worked out.
Oh, and the 21 was delivered 13 days after the 22.

I am still getting a '22 F350 7.3 like I wanted with a couple plusses and a couple minuses over the order. The best part has been Bill Estes Ford in Brownsburg Indiana coming through on so many levels. I should have my new truck well over a month before the ordered one. No response from the dealer I ordered from yet, I left them a message this morning...
I will post pics like all of the other happy new owners, looking forward to joining that club soon!

I def think its all about the dealers and the allocations that they have if u are a dealer that sells alot of trucks in a year then u get more allocations and your trucks will get built faster than a dealer that doesnt sell many. Its not personal and I think it should show that the dealer u chose to order from may be the most important decision u make not whether to get a heated steering wheel or not
