Ordering a new car is a mind focusing ordeal... Counting the days and weeks, multiple daily PM checks to see if Deysha had updates, etc. Not to mention, future mod shopping, price comparisons and so on. It's excruciating but, I'd do it all over again without hesitation.

For me, delivery day came very quickly. I ordered the afternoon of April 9th and delivery day was the afternoon of May 8th. Ford even took time to drive my GT 52 miles before releasing it for convoy shipment. Beat THAT with a stick! THANK YOU AGAIN, Flat Rock employees and Deysha too! I got exactly what I expected. A quality FORD product.

 

Send her a pm with info from order sheet. Dealer order # etc.

 

Deysha sent me my VIN . Happy dance

Deysha , you + r + awesome . You're awesome!

 

Wohoo!

My ETA changed from 6/14 to 6/9!

Thanks Deysha

 

lol...Fantastic news my friend. Yes, Deysha made my day when I read that PM this morning.

 

Wish there was a good way to see exactly where my car 'convey' is... was in NY earlier this week, was really hoping the car would be dropped off at my dealership by this Saturday. Oh well, perhaps next week....

 

Dmichaels, this info is 2 years old but I found it on the Ford Raptor site. Might be worth a try.

In case you haven't found a site that shows how to track your truck by rail...here you go.

First you will need the rail car letters and numbers. It is on the visibility report or DORA which is from the dealership. You MAY be able to get it from the SVT people but they seem often in a cranky mood and may tell you to get it from the dealer.

Mine was two letters and 6 numbers from what I remember.

There are two major rail companies.

CSX is everything east of the mississippi
UP is everything west of the mississippi

But they all start out on CSX so once they have it in their system they will follow it all the way.

So, how do you track your truck on a railcar?

First and most important. Never talk to live personnel at the railroad! Only use automated phone system. If it attempts to transfer you to a live person please hang up. The railcar information we are provided by is given as a courtesy and if we call live personnel we may lose the access and ability to track.
CSX
1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352
2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.
3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt.
4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is)
5. When prompted for next car say DONE.
6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.

Union Pacific
1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123 1 800 877-5123
2. Follow phone prompts for Trace
3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example CN123456 all together
4. Listen for your update

These automated systems can be frustrating. Keep in mind they are intended for use by folks that use them daily all day long. Like I said if you are being transferred to a live person please hang up and try again.

 

Just talked to my dealership. The car is on a truck in PA. Considering I'm in NJ, it should hit the dealership by mid week.

 

Sweet Cyle. Only a few more days of torture and pain.

 

Saparish - excellent info thanks! I'll try that later on...

 

Hey what's up guys, just picked up my car brought home and found razor marks on my car
Too deep to get buffed out Not sure what to do

 

You mean you just took delivery of it? If so I would take it back asap and show them. The dealer should have done a walk around with you to make sure your happy with everything. Kinda like what they do at rental car places.

 

Yeah I didn't expect there to be anything in a new car dealer barely cleaned and the **** radio stations where all set to rap I'm going back there tommorow I want them to do a swap I'm pissed

 

Hi everyone I'm new to this site. I ordered my 2014 GT 5/15, do you guys think mine will be built before the factory shutdown at the end of June?

 

Welcome! You shouldn't be affected by the shutdown as your car will probably be built before then and shipping is slated to continue during the shutdown.

 

Got it in a few days ago. Overall impression of car so far with casual pre-break in driving....

 

They are Sweeeeet, aren't they?

 

Just like mine that's on order. Love that color! Congrats, the car looks awesome...which is why I bought one too...ENJOY!
