We are on the same timeline. Mine had a 5/4 build date and I have a 5/24 ETA. If the ETA holds up, I guess we will have a decent timeline for delivery to Southern California.

Note from the dealer today showed the rail car coming out of Tucson, crossing the border into California near Yuma and then up to Palm Springs. I am sure its headed to some central distribution point here in LA. Interesting that it showed passing each of these waypoints down to the minute.

What dealer did you go through Rocketfan?
 






What dealer did you go through Rocketfan?

Ken Grody Ford. I think I got lucky with allocation because all I did was pick the biggest dealer in Orange County (1% less sales tax) that was closest to me that would do an X Plan order.

Moo26, what dealer did you order from?
 






I almost went through Ken Grody, but decided to go through my local dealer, Chino Hills Ford. Dealer hasn't been alot of help, but maybe they will come through now and get this thing delivered before Memorial day. I have a nice trip to Havasu planned to break her in!!!!!!

Rocketfan.... I got word yesterday that my X arrived in Mira Loma (15 miles from my dealership) around noon. I'm hoping that it gets off that rail and onto a truck for the short ride over to my dealer before the weekend!!!!! If yours was on the same trip then I would think we are in good shape for 5/24 at the latest!!!!!

I don't know if the timeline is similar for everyone in SoCal once they arrive in Mira Loma, but my X arrived in Mira Loma on a Thursday, and the dealer had it ready for pick up the following Monday. I am in the South Bay. Here's hoping you get your X soon!
 






Gandalf... I can live with Monday!!! Just need it a few days before Memorial day to get the DVD players in and the windows tinted.....

Mine is scheduled to come in on the 26th. I hope it arrives earlier. I had no luck finding anyone to make me the 9" emblems in black which I really wanted so I could have swapped it out right away. Window tinting only needs a days notice. I was thinking running bars would look good. Is anyone else doing this? No DVD's for me this time around as my kids are older now and carry their laptops/pads with them on long trips.

Dealership is taking my Navigator in, I had no luck selling it. I'm going to miss it, but hopefully my love for my new X will be enough. HA HA!
