From you guys that have gotten delivery, or close to it, did you have to have the discussion with your dealer of asking them not to do anything unwanted to it? A friend here in town told her dealer not to do anything to it but they apparently had done random "accessories" that dealers do to make more money like pin stripes or something. Curious if this is a needed discussion to have stating "DO NOT TOUCH MY CAR" haha!

When I found my backup plan Bronco (pending), before I put a deposit on it the dealer told me he had some accessories that Ford sent his shop and required they end up on a vehicle. He's going to let me pick and choose one or two, but since he only has my incoming Bronco and another supposedly coming in a few months, they have to be used between the two. I don't get the impression that he's BSing me, and assume Ford's supposed demands are legit. It's not like he makes much on the sale/install of the accessories in the end. I'd be upset about it if it were an unwanted surprise when I showed-up, but I'm fine with some give and take on it since he's being up-front about it.

There are some accessories I would not mind if they were "mandatory." There is a Toyota daelership here in town that is notorious for putting accessories that no one would ever actually order but they can upcharge for it. I just do not want that to happen. If I wanted pin stripes and stickers I would pick my own haha!

RANDOM UPDATE: My dealer ended up calling me, saying that my bronco has been delivered! They had no idea it was on its way. We'll see if I get hit with an ADM, come Monday when I check it out.

Congrats on the news! I’m in SoCal and our builds are virtually identical. What dealer are you buying from?

SoCal peeps: for what it’s worth, my buddy is an auto broker and he just told me a bunch of dealers received broncos.

Yea my sales guy at South Bay Ford said they just got 8 broncos in.

Ah ok cool thanks. Yup, we definitely are way more informed thanks to this forum than most salespeople.

Let pray that we will see progress next week on the mountain as no scheduling next week and the weather wormer.

Well let’s see if anyone can help me out with my situation. Even a good guess would be appreciated at this point.

I’m a 1/28 blend, 1289/2270, built the 2nd and shipped the 9th.

It arrived at the local rail yard over two weeks ago. 8 miles from the dealer. The date of delivery to dealer tracked by the trucking company’s tracker has moved each day since. Always a day or three at a time. Plenty have been picked up in the past two weeks and taken to my dealer but mine still sits.

Well, a few days ago the status on the trucking web sight changed from “ awaiting transport pickup” to “Hold by ford motor company”.

I called the 1-800 number and my new delivery date with them is 63 days into the future, May 6th.

What is going on with this poor Bronco? 8.1 miles from the finish line!?!??!? Haha
