Tracking your MKC order
When you place your MKC order at the dealership, have them notify you when a VIN number has been assigned. After you have the VIN, you can use the following websites to check on vehicle status. I just received my VIN today so I will be looking at these daily.
Ford order Processing Center (not able to get any info yet)
1-888-207-1248 Then Dial 2 – 2 - 2
It's voice automated and pretty simple. You are supposed to be able to use your order number if you don't have your VIN yet, but there is an option to use your VIN. When you call it, you may need your dealer #, year of vehicle, order #, the car/body type (J1A for MKC), and I think that is all.

How to track shipping of your car if you have the ETTX number (the rail car number. Must get from the dealer after your MKC is built).
· Call CSX at 1-800-235-2352
· When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.
· When prompted for the car initials, say ETTX then wait for the next prompt. OR key in 32-81-81-92 (for ETTX)(letter and position on your phone)
· When prompted for the car number, say or key in your 6-digit ETTX car number

This info is all pulled from discussion forums. You can test some of these by looking at dealer inventory and copying a VIN from one of the dealer allocated vehicles.
