Default Ra34

My window sticker is showing Ramp one RA34 Rail.
Can someone explain is this is just sitting in a parking lot or if there is some action going on.
My truck was ordered Nov. 10th 2020- just a platinum with reclining seats.
The build was March 21st., with no updates since!!
I am very frustrated to see others getting their truck after ordering just months ago.
Does anyone know how to get some accurate information on my truck besides my clueless dealer?

That is more than likely the loading or unloading for your area. I have noticed. that all of the ones at my dealer and my order say CH32.

Is RA34 a holding area for F150 trucks needing chips or a loading area for transportation to final dealers. I’m located in Tyler Texas

It should be Dearborn, MI or Kansas if it was waiting for chips. RA34 is most likely the holding area for truck transport or for transfer to another Rail segment.

RA34 is printed on your Sticker.
A quick googly search of RA34 Ford will bring up a radius of dealers that all match to the RA34 sticker.

That region contains one or more of the car offload ramps that Ford uses. Think airplane hub n spoke.

Dearborn and KC are your main hubs. The offload ramps near your dealers are the smaller hubs. Your dealer is one of the spokes.

RA34 is a geographic region bound by dealer groups. Not some mysterious lot at KC or under Denver Airport.

Default Clarification

So RA34 does not show where the truck actually is at this point - correct?
it could still be in Dearborn waiting on a chip?
