I ordered my '25 GT Convertible Oct, 16, 2024 and had it delivered to my dealer Dec 16th, two months later. The build takes about two days. Shipment by rail or truck another 2-3 days. Then it depends on how it gets from the lot where it's unloaded from truck or rail, to your dealer. I would give it approximately 4 days from the dropping lot to your dealer. All total right around 2 months. Mine was delivered to Murphy, NC.

Thank you. Will update thread after delivery.

Below is some insight I provided in an earlier thread.

The dealer can provide feedback on their most recent transit times. Once loaded and in-transit, some sales people provide updates, like when the vehicle arrives at a certain waypoint.
The following thread highlights a delivery checklist which could help when taking receipt of the car.

Finally, I'm attaching Ford's delivery and inspection checklist, what the dealer should accomplish before signing the car over to you.
Congrats on the new ride.
-----------------------------------------------
Everyone is going to be a bit different.
Skye took close to two weeks to arrive, by rail and truck. At the other extreme, some have taken 60+ days.
Once the car is produced, it will be sent to a waiting area, the large storage area we've seen the Mustangs parked at; this location is adjacent to a rail yard and truck routes. My car waited only a day or two to leave. Others have taken two weeks +. It just depends on how quickly they can fill the cars/trailers.
Shippers of any product are trying to be as efficient as possible. Once they have a full load, the train (or truck) will leave.
Like packages, there are major waypoints along the way, where the car will transfer to another train or truck a few times.
The dealer can provide you insight as to where it is, when it reaches any of the expected waypoints.
You can also Google for insight to the shipping companies used, how to track both trains and trucks.
If there are no issues along the way, I'd expect two weeks to 30 days. Admittedly, that's a general, broad band. There are too many variables which affect any of us. Sometimes there are issues which can delay shipment.
Until the dealer takes receipt, the vehicle is the property of Ford. There are times when mechanical problems exist or the car is damaged in shipment. The shipper works directly with Ford to correct the problem. You will not receive insight into what's going on or what the fix was. The dealer will not know anything either. The car will later arrive.
Once the car is on the ground, it will take a day or two for the dealer prep.
1. Remind the dealer not to install the front plate (unless you'd like it installed).
2. Ask that the car not be cleaned. The "detailers" can often do more damage than make the car look better.
3. Ask that any documents in the car be stowed in the trunk. Build sheets and other notes are left in the car at the end of assembly. Dealers will recover and throw these out during checkout, unless you tell them otherwise. They're nice keepsakes.
