Just got a text from Ford about shipping delays?

[KevR]

Got a text this morning that said my truck had been built. This evening I get another that says:

Ford Update: Due to shipping delays, the est. arrival of your new Ranger is now btwn . More: https://ford.to/3MouzeV

The link just goes to the order tracking page which doesn't tell me anything more other than it's built. Anyone else get it?

I received an email about an hour ago...doesn't really give any valuable info. My truck is still in 'built' status.

Looks like my March build is going to be sitting in that yard for a while...

I got those too a little while ago. Last I tracked, my truck was dropped of by rail in KC. That was a several days ago. 4 hour drive by convoy the rest of the way. It's going to be delivered when I leave for Texas this weekend, I can tell.

This tracker is truly weird.

Mine was also dropped off at the KC rail yard 4 or 5 days ago and has a 1.5 hour trip by truck to dealer. Hopefully soon.

Got the same. My truck is at the final drop off rail yard. Got there three days ago. The email said delivery date to dealer 12-16 Apr.

Got an email last night that said they are still building my truck. But in actuality has been shipped already and is sitting in a rail yard 5 Miles from my dealership. Tracker also says shipped. Emails are fucked

Does this mean the shipping delays are the trucking side? Mine is on rail now and headed to the rail yard.

For me these were legitimate. My salesperson called today and said the eta is now next week due to the shipping delay.

Mine is convoy and dealer is only minutes from the plant. Original shipping ETA was March 7th. Every Wednesday the shipping ETA has slipped another week. Sitting in Canton and hasn't moved. I suspect mine and others are still being QC held even after achieving built status. Since the time the first Raptor shipped, it's been over 2.5 weeks. Large number of Raptors sitting in the same Canton lot reported from someone who recently drove by.

It would be tough waiting for the truck to get to dealer when the dealer is that close.

Got the text and email again tonight. The text still lacks the date and goes to a blank tracker page so not very helpful.

The email at least now includes the dates. Not good news but I appreciate the improved communication.

We understand the frustration caused by this delay, and we’ll continue to keep you updated with the latest estimated delivery time for your vehicle. As your dedicated partner in this journey, we want to ensure that the rest of the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

When your 2024 Ranger is finally ready for pickup, your dealer will reach out to arrange all the necessary details. We appreciate your patience and understanding and can’t wait to get you in your new Ford vehicle.

Same exact story for me. I'm at a dealer in the suburbs of Chicago. You?
