After Scheduling, If Everything Goes Like It Never Does How Long?

[Moparornocar]

I'm in D1 at Granger with a ship date of 12/9/22 . assuming things go smoothly about when should I expect it to be in Iowa based on past experience?

I'm well aware things can go sideways but I'm just trying to get a ballpark idea on when I might be making the journey.

This should be fun...... I'll go with Jan 10

Mine was recently built on 29 Sep. It actually shipped on about 10 Oct. And I took delivery on 14 Nov. So overall I was right at 1.5 months from when Ram Tracker displayed "Built" to when I drove it.

Mine had a ship date of mid December last year, ended up at granger the last week of January I believe.
I’ll go January 25

So mid to late January probably. avoiding the holiday air travel crap wouldn't hurt my feelings anyway .

That's about what I expected as well. I have a ship date of 12/2 but Miles told me to expect delivery sometime in January.

He doesnt have a ship date, he has a D1 status. Mine shipped in August after sitting in D1 for a month. From the ship date (which is actually the production start date) it took about 4 weeks for me.

Says ship date, I assume that means ready to load. if it means build date then add a week I suppose.

There is another rail strike looming, deadline of 12/9 , so that might throw a wrench in everyone's plans so lets hope not.

As it was explained to me, ship date is actually production date. If the delivery is really going to be in January hopefully the railroad strike madness is well over. Unfortunately, I have a F150 KR that is built and awaiting shipping now. Praying it ships before and strike starts.

When I went D1, had a tentative ship date of mid December, it ended up being built about a week after that ship date and shipped last week of December.

Your ESD in practicality is the the day the build is likely to be completed. The truck may then sit for 2 days to 1 month waiting to get out of Michigan.

My expected ship date moved from September 15 to October 5. It left the factory on October 5th and arrived at Chapman on November 11.

It spent nearly 3 weeks in New Boston, MI waiting to get on a train, and then a week outside Philly waiting to be transported 30 miles to the dealership. I’d say anticipate Approx 6 weeks from the time it rolls off the line, to the time it’s in your hands.

That's almost the exact same durations mine spent in each place.

One dollar!

Wait, what are we doing here?

 

[TexasReX]

ship date 12/9 you probably will get it mid Jan.
Check triple B's chart and add 10-15days to that for holidays and rail worker delays

So it doesn't sound like I need to pack my bags right away.

The RR strike is just a possibility, they may get it settled or the feds may put a stay on it which could last for some time. it's just another possible hang up.

Even strike is settled, RR is at its edge right now. Short of stuff, short of the locomotive has impacted a lot. Last month, they used ONE 4400hp locomotive that pulled 35k tons of coal, which normally requires 4 locomotives.
Just to think if your car's train is behind this, 10 mph and no way to bypass it because it's too long...
