It's real. Exhaust note is quite good for a turbo.

Glad to hear you guys on the west coast are starting to see yours come in. Checked my rail car every day this week and it seems that it has gotten stuck in Ohio for maintenance over the last 3 days but seems to be back on the rails this morning. Hoping it's a quick trip down here now, it would be nice to have before Christmas lol.

Glad you were able to make it all work out.

It’s really real. Just getting around to posting because I spent the majority of the day driving around with what most people thought was the dumbest looking grin.

When was your ship date? Mines also headed for S CA but I don’t have any tracking info outside of the Ford tracker. Hoping your good news means mine is close !

Well, still no Bronco. Rail car arrived on Thursday. Not sure how long the Bronco takes to get delivered to the dealer via the car carrier but surprised it’s more than a couple days….

Nothing here either, but my delivery estimate on Fords tracker did move forward which was interesting, so now i'm right in the middle of the window. Don't have a lot of faith in the tracker but interesting nonetheless!

After an intoxicating weekend with her (not even any wheeling...), now another wait as she is hauled home. She was supposed to get picked up today but wasn't, hopefully tomorrow.

Hi all, new to the forum, been following this thread for some time so first off big thanks to you all for sharing your experiences. It was great sharing the wait with others, passing the time and seeing updates along the way. Ordered back in July, so not as long ago as some of you. My Wildtrak arrived in Birmingham AL by rail on Friday, so hoping to see it show up at my dealer any day now!

All I can say is W O W

Its happening!! Chatted with dealer this morning and they said it would probably be ready for pickup tomorrow but they would call me if they get it done today. Now to finish getting my finances in order. Hope you remaining socal people start getting good news today as well!

Railcar tracing update today says it made it to the rail yard here in NC where it gets transfered to auto transport services.

So I'm hoping they have trucks ready and it makes it to the dealer this weekend. It's only about 2 hours out from my dealer, so she's definitely in the home stretch. Can't wait to finally have this journey come to an end.

Well my truck missed its ride from Detroit to San Diego as the trucking company showed up well before the dealer opened yesterday. Although they could not get it rescheduled for today, it is scheduled for pickup tomorrow and delivery on Saturday. It's like I get 2 delivery experiences instead of just one. I'm not overly confident in 3 days total, door to door, we'll see.

I had the whole “2 del experience” typed out in response to your last post but wasn’t sure how you were handling it. Saturday is doable with the right driver/methamphetamine combo.

Ha, I'm hoping for 2 drivers and no meth...

I'm all good with more minor delays. It's a miniscule blip compared to the entire last year of "roller coastering" (we have an allocation, we don't, you will get a '23, you won't get a '23, UAW strike, Ford web tracker, flight cancellation, no dealer weekend hours).

First truck 3 hours early on Monday. 2nd attempt at pickup aborted today due to the trucks booty being too wide. On to lucky #3, maybe tomorrow, maybe Thu. Nothing like additional drama here at the bitter end to match the entire journey...

Still no delivery yet. Sucks knowing it's only 2 hours away and it's gotta wait for a truck to delivery it. Hopefully sometime next week it shows up. Would be a nice Christmas present.
