Tired of the B.S. from Ford.

[HARLEY6LF250SDU]

Mine built 1/6 and scheduled to arrive today. How do I get a car# to track the rail? Can someone please help with this...its frustrating to see some have their rail tracking yet my truck is set to arrive at dealer today and I cant track.

Your Ordering Dealer can go in Vehicle Visibility and get your Status History (Show Full Status History)

My truck is scheduled to arrive today 1/23. Built 1/6 fyi. If not here this week...I wont have a vehicle until it does arrive. And guys, Im about sick of waiting. Not getn another vehicle, just tired of waiting and tired of dealers.

This isnt a TVR or FOOSE hotrod...it's a Ford production line truck, thus, even if it takes long--we should at least have infornation to keep tabs.

You think Ford doesnt know where their inventory is?? Ha, ya right.....they know damn well where it is.

COME ON RAPTOR--GET HERE TODAY DAMMIT!!

PS-My dealer is 1K miles away....so even when it does arrive...I have to wait at least another two days + two plane rides + a cab ride until I get it! FU** SoCal Ford dealers and thei 10K premiums, 5K order deposits and outrageous state sales tax!!! BS!!

Dude, if your flying into DIA (denver airport) You don't want to take a cab!! It's a $50-$80.00 ride to down town area. It's a 10 mile drive, just to get off Airport property. Which Dealer did you use? I think I saw somewhere, that it was Go Courtesy Ford? Make the dealer pick you up.

Just curious, how are you getting around the sales tax? Are you registering it in CO? I don't think it matters where you buy it for sales tax. It's where it is registered. Would be good to know if it is not the case!

As for SoCal dealerships, I would think some are caving. Ken Grody still has 2011's on the lot AND now has some 2012's. Ouch. I got mine from another dealer in SoCal for $500 over invoice.

I hope this truck is worth all the BS it has been to get it.

No graphics on mine. Black SCREW loaded minus graphics.

What car # are you using to track?

In my info above - here is the Norfolk Southern car:



Railcar # TTGX159707 (Norfolk Southern Corp )

My dealer is telling me that the history has nothing on it since it was built on 1/4. No way to get a railcar # apparently.

I'm registering the truck in CO bc I have a residence in CO. Sales tax by county varies but my county is hardly on the map so Im only paying 2.9% vs 7.9% where Im buying the truck. This deal has been a lot of work for me guys fyi.

However, Im having to pay registration fees in person and separate from the deal, this is wack. If out of state ok but its local so it should be built in. At that point though I just wanted the truck and was tired of dealer BS so I said ok aka whatever.

Its not out of Denver fyi. Airport about 15 min from the dealer so I may see if they can pick me up...just not in my truck.

Looks like another member tried locating his car# for rail with no luck...and his was built two days prior to mine....so I will pass on locating a rail car# for mine today.

PS-I ordered a Tux Scab loaded minus graphics.

Salesman and I just spoke, he is going to locate a car# for me and hopefully I get it today. WIll keep posted. He says my truck is estimated to arrive tomorrow btw...not today....but maybe tonight!!!??? haha. I like optimism. This is why I went to CO to buy.

My truck is OFF RAIL and in NM scheduled to arrive in CO today/tonight BUT my salesman cant get in touch with the shipping (trucking) company to confirm delivery ETA. Should know more today hopefully and/or the truck should arrive in 24-48 hours MAX! Looks like thus far I will still be taking delivery Friday!!

Congrats. Wish your dealer could find my truck. Waiting on Ford rep to call and tell me where mine is.

That doesnt sound right to me? Mine was built on the 18th and I have gotten rail info all along the way. Mine has been on Norfolk Southern for about 3 days and has gotten to final yard to be picked up now by truck?

damn, I could only wish for 3 days from plant to final yard. Mine has been sitting at the plant for 4 days now doing didly squat
