We have liftoff!!!!!!!
Latest update from Ford Customer service is that my car shipped yesterday from Ramp 5P with an ETA to the dealer of Monday March 21st. They couldn't give me a rail car number so I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

Lean on your salesman to get Visibility updates and email them to you.
1) Ford's computer updates on Thursdays. Check with your dealer Friday morning.
2) keep checking for your window sticker:

3) Window stickers are about one week prior to production. If you can't read the dealer's name on your window sticker, PM me your eMail and vehicle identification number and I'll do my best to get a more complete sticker to you.
4) Your dealer will have the production date and a guess for the ETA
5) It's built, then goes to VPC for striping, etc., goes back to plant.
6) Ships - your dealer will have a railcar or truck depending on your distance.
7) If railcar, track using the toll-free number. You'll need your railcar number and whether or not it's ETTX or SP or ...
Have patience!!!!
