My dealer said today once they arrive Portland they seem to come in pretty quick. About 3-4 for clear customs and everything.Waiting on my 2024 Nautilus Reserve 2. The tracking tool says it was shipped 2/2/2024 but it also says last updated 2/19/2024. Does anyone know what the last date updated can mean? Hoping to get it by mid April. Does that seem realistic to be transported to Chicago area?
Well, you have to get a VIN first, and your dealer-assigned order number. Since that is generally the first thing that happens in production, it should be available early. Once you have one, then you can access the Vehicle Order Status screen. Before you have one, your vehicle is still a wink in your father's eye, so to speak.@swindler , I have a dumb question. I see a lot of folks in this thread mention to "watch your Last Updated" to update again. This is how you know there is an event happening.
My question is what or where does one find that? Do you log in and watch it daily?
I don't have a VIN yet nor a Build Date now. I thought it was 2/26 but that hasn't happened. Is the "Last Updated" referenced on the page that once I have a VIN and Order Number I can monitor from that screen?
Just trying to prepare for what I hope will be happening soon. THANKS

Thanks @swindler . That is exactly what I thought but wasn't sure since this is my first ever Lincoln.Well, you have to get a VIN first, and your dealer-assigned order number.

The login is shown in the first image. Your overall status is then displayed after login, with the major steps indicated as six circled steps. And the Last Updated date is shown further down (or on the right side for laptops). The Last Updated appears to changed on vehicle scans. The one down was when my vehicle's was loaded onto the ship.

Thanks for your detailed reply!RCC America landed in Portland on 2/19 (and unloaded 1,502 Ford vehicles on 2/21).
Last updated generally means the vehicle has passed from one set of hands to another. Examples:
Left factory to transport (also 'shipped')
Loaded on boat
Unloaded from boat
Loaded on railcar
Railcar transition from BNSF to <RAIL_CO>
Railcar unloaded
Picked up by road transport/delivered (same day)
Yes, mid-April is reasonable to Chicago. I would guess early April personally. Some have waiting a long time for trains, but off you hub is Chicago I would expect it to leave quickly.
I have not been able to get a copy of VinView yet. Went to dealer today and the person that does them was off. All thy were able to give me is attached, I'm thinking the ETA is when it is expected to be put on a rail car.It was Miraculous Ace that dropped off 1,800 vehicles on 3/2, but it was at the dock on 3/1.
Really, the only way is to continue tracking is to request VINView traces from your dealer. The vehicles are leaving Portland on BNSF trains, and BNSF is the only one of the big four that secures their tracing with a login. And you can't get a login unless you're a customer, and even then you're still limited to the shipments you can see.
BNSF does not handle the East, however. So if it transitions to UP, CSX, NS, you can track it then. There's instructions earlier in this thread for CSX. I can post the others if someone needs them.
Mine went from Portland to DFW entirely on BNSF in 13 days. (No transitions also makes it faster.) But I was only able to track via VINView.
Watch for your Last Updated to update again. That will likely mean your vehicle was put onto an autorack rail car. It should start moving then. Some move right away, but most take at least a week or two. Mine took three weeks.
Is that Glovis Sunrise ship. Is it expected to drop the Nautilus's on 3/11. Do ships usually drop vehicles same day and then turn back.ETA 3/11

They can. I think typically it's a day or two later. It may depend on the day of week or how busy they are. E.g., mine made it within 20 miles, but anchored. It made it to the berth two days later, then unloaded two more days after that.Is

Does the Lincoln tracker update right away though as the ship arrives in Portland.They can. I think typically it's a day or two later. It may depend on the day of week or how busy they are. E.g., mine made it within 20 miles, but anchored. It made it to the berth two days later, then unloaded two more days after that.
GS ETA is now 3/9, but that's the day it lands, not unloads. Also, there's another ship landing 3/9, and two ships 3/10. I don't think it'll happen that way. Somebody is getting pushed back. As far as 3/9, the berth will probably go to whoever gets there first, GS or Triumph Ace.
The Vehicle Order Status 'shipped' actually means that it left the factory. As far as getting on a boat, it could happen right away, or take a week or two. You should look for a Last Updated date change that occurs after 3/4. That would be the vehicle being scanned as it was loaded onto the ship.My 10/17/2023 order was updated to shipped on 3/4/2024. I've reached out to the dealer to see if VinView has any additional information. Does anyone have any insight into what that shipping date might mean for the ship that could be tracked?
While Triumph Ace is leading Glovis Sunrise by roughly 90 NM, TA was reassigned to berth 607, which means GS should make it's schedule of 3/9 to berth 601.They can.
