Have you ran your VIN on https://palsapp.com/ ?

That will tell you if it's at the dealer.

How did you find out it was in VA?

So mine (ordered 1/31) says it’s in production and the delivery date still says 3/24. The window sticker says that delivery method is convoy from Dearborn to NJ. Does that sound right? I would have thought being that my dealer is 5 miles from Philly, it would be shipped by train.
How long does it usually take “in production?”

Mine was “in production” for a week (sent to factory on the 13th, blended on the 20th). Convoy is probably right. Mine is Convoy, too (we’re just south of DC).

What does you blend date show on your Window sticker?

I pretty sure rail on the window sticker means it leaves the plant via rail. Convoy means it leaves the plant via truck but will likely be shipped by a combination of truck and or rail.

Lucky you, I ordered my truck a day before you did and it's scheduled to be built the week of March 26th (no exact date yet) with a delivery range from 16-22 April.

The blend date says 02/27. What does that mean?

As for order vs. estimated ship dates, I don’t quite understand what makes the difference. Mine is an XLT FX4 SCREW with a 5.0 and special edition. I wonder if the spec had anything to do with it. Like maybe they run a certain number of 5.0 SCREWS, then change up to Eco’s then supercabs, etc....

“Carnac the Magnificent predicts that your F-150 will be built on Tuesday.”

Risking another obscure cultural reference: Terry Crewes will show up on a Tuesday to let you know that your truck’s parts have been... *blended*

The dealer tracked it on Rail and it showed in VA. I keep putting it in palspp but it only shows pending. According to the Jack Cooper website they don't have a terminal in NC so I assumed it would go to VA and then transport down here. I don't really think the 0 days is accurate, especially since it doesn't show delivered.
