There is a section on fmcdealer.com that is called vehicle visibility. You put the body code and order number or vin in and it gives you every detail of the whole transportation timeline

The last 2 buttons, the 7/8 and 9/0 pressed at the same time lock the vehicle. The only way you can with the fob inside now.

I only use the keypad. I am the most paranoid person in the world when I have a rental. Have to remind myself not to lock the keys in, haha.

I would agree. Being a GM of a Ford dealer for 20+ years, I was in the minority of people that knew how to use most of the info on the fmcdealer website.

I know, I was telling someone its like 3.5 hrs from me and there it sits. I used to run a Ford dealership so I know the drill, its just annoying. The place yours is from can do a vehicle visibility trace and see where its at. I know mines sitting at the plant waiting for a truck.

Anyone else have a Bronco that has been built but is still waiting to get picked up? Mine has been sitting since 9/29 and keeps getting bumped each week. It just has to make it to Chicago area from Flint, haha. I have actually been fine with timing but the truck just sitting there waiting for a...

Test drove this over the weekend. K&S Ford in Fairbury, IL let me drive their demo unit. A few observations. It’s more comfortable than I thought (I’m 6’) and I’m a F-150 guy. Power, what I expected. People that haven’t driven a 10 speed will think it’s deceptively slow as you don’t feel the...

The manufacturers make money off of the dealerships. If that goes away, it will be added to the car. Also, the land employees, buildings etc are not but would have to funded by the manufacturer, making the price go up. Most new car dealerships make little to no profit on new cars. They give the...

Sounds good in theory but no manufacturer has the money to own all of their dealerships (outside of Tesla). Also customers would hate it as then you’d pay MSRP for everything no matter what and with no competition your trade would go down as well. Outside of a few douche bags, you’ll always save...

I was a day 1. Badlands, 2.7, optional wheels, 4dr, hardtop, high pkg, tow pkg. last week of July production date email.

If the vehicle is scheduled for production, it is going to be built even if you cancel.

This one was a stock order, shows order type 2 on the sticker (1 is a retail). Plus they always show up on the website before they come in too.

Once an order is scheduled, you cannot cancel. It comes in no matter what at that point, so no ones fault really. I just don’t know why someone would cancel at that point but it happens.

I’ve waited for 20+ years for a real Bronco. I’m cool with August for mine at this point. When I was a GM at a Ford dealer, I personally bagged on Mark Fields and Alan Mulally plus whatever designer I could find about Ford not having a real Bronco at the Ford dealer meetings. All of them had to...

posted my order

I’ve been using Mobil 1 to drag the intervals a little longer. Regardless of what oil you use, Walmart 5 quart jugs are by far the least expensive out there. Usually 22-24 for Mobil 1 or like 19.99 for Semi synthetic Motorcraft. I usually check stock online before I go because the Mobil 1 is...

That should be punishable by getting it taken away and given an Ecosport to drive instead.

Dealers in general are soooo lame in the creativity department. I ordered vehicles for both places I ordered and always had other dealers calling me for my non silver/black/white vehicles.

My Badlands is Scheduled for week of July 25. 4dr, 2.7, optional wheels, trailer tow, big screen, hard top., velocity blue.

I don’t even have a car right now, borrowing one of my wife’s. That’s killing me too, haha. I may buy another Fusion energi to hold me over and to keep some miles off the Bronco as well. I don’t think you can go wrong with a 4door auto the 1st year especially.
