Truck moved to Ramp 5M

Looks like Ford is moving trucks from the dreaded Ramp 59 to CSX Ramp 5M. I may actually see it by next week. Fingers crossed!!

All he told me is that which he's been telling me:

"It's in transit"

Hi Fred Keller, Pop-Display, and tgseaver,

Specific information regarding longer-than-expected production times is proprietary information of the plant. As a result, this information is not provided or available to me when I check on and research your orders. I am able to see the location and method of delivery of your trucks, but I'm not at liberty to disclose this information. What I can do is give you a good faith estimate of its delivery date based on the information that I have.

As always, please feel free to check in for regular updates; I'm always pleased to release any available information I'm at liberty to disclose.

Hi Rupbre,

I was referring to the options that may result in a longer-than-expected build. Please note, however, that all delivery dates are estimates based on the information available at the time. There are often unforeseen production and transportation circumstances that may affect delivery to your dealership.

Hi RVerz, coupe 30, and 2tc,

Congratulations on your orders! Please feel free to shoot me a PM with your VIN or order number and dealer code. I'll help you keep an eye on your orders.

Good catch, handyman24!

Please accept my condolences, Khislop007. I'm sure your new truck will pair nicely with your son's inheritance and memento. It won't be much longer now.
