  1. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Ha! Something similar. They said “we’ll work you in, but it may take a few hours, so be patient”. After 900+ days since my reservation, who hasn’t exercised patience so I brought my laptop and got a lot of work done in the dealership lobby.
  2. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    It finally arrived yesterday! I hadn’t received a call from the dealer yet, but I saw it move to final preparation in the tracker so I of course immediately contacted them. They were swamped and wanted to wait until next week, but they were great to put priority on it and get me out the door.
  3. To Take or Not to Take

    I think all viewpoints are valuable and respect everyone's unique approach to how they manage their finances. That said, $80/month being a deal-breaker on a $60k brand new vehicle is just not a thing. If it is, then you might be dangerously closer to not being able to afford it than you are...
  4. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Yeah, I am still super excited and know it will come soon. My dealer had 40 orders there as of last week, so as you say, probably a bottleneck there too on where I am in the priority for pickup. I hear you on which accessories to tackle first. I think it's going to be the go rhino rock...

    Around day 17 now sitting on the auto ramp at the Pearland, TX rail yard. I wouldn’t be the first to sit over a month waiting for a transport truck, but hoping I don’t end up with that badge of honor too after all the delays and waiting. Each week that goes by I just buy another accessory to...
  6. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Oh, cool. Experience has been great with Tomball Ford and maybe we'll be on the same truck! Nothing we can do at this point. I just keep buying and accumulating accessories that are waiting in the garage!
  7. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Well, per the dealer, the good news is it got to the last rail stop in Pearland, TX (basically south Houston) and has been there for almost a week and now is "sitting at the rail yard" 50 miles from my house. I already know that this delay is the rule vs. the exception with the shortage of...
  8. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Well, my OCD tracking behaviors have improved and it's been 21 days since I contacted the dealer directly, but I had to hit them up this morning and ask them to look in VINView and find out where this thing is now. Railcar tracking stopped after reaching Laurel, Montana? Maybe on convoy at this...
  9. ⚾️ Barry Bonds’ Overlanding Bronco Raptor Build

    I was feeling like he was one of us until he said [about his Bronco Raptor] "took him 9 months to get it" Ha! you gotta get past 24 months before you can complain. Really cool video. enjoyed it.
  10. Told by dealer, Ford is NOT following reservation dates….Meaningless

    I hate to say it, but if Ford had decided to make EVERY reservation holder wait behind an un-buildable order (no jumping the line as you say), even though order reservations "behind" it were perfectly buildable with the parts they had, the rage coming out of this Forum would have been 1000 fold.
  11. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Well, as we've discussed, never know the timing or process, but I actually got my assembly line photo today while my Bronco is in transit. Have to admit it made me way more excited than it should just to see a photo! Ha! As far as tracking, CSX reports no status for the rail car number I got...
  12. Upcoming 2024 Tacoma fully revealed in design images 📸

    Yep, it looks like a Tacoma 🤷‍♂️. Just not interested in driving the truck that every other residential pool cleaning worker is driving

    Hell YES! Congrats. Man that Eruption Green looks even better at night!
  14. Jeep is more affordable

    Tell him that jeep is way better and please get out of line for the people that know they want a bronco. I get that some people are fed up with Ford, but the reality is no one would be looking for 2 years or waiting on a reservation for 2 years if they really thought a jeep would make them just...
  15. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Good points. All seem like plausible explanations, but now I gotta relapse back into trying to track a rail car again. Easy path is to call the dealer and ask them for an update, but then I risk them knowing I'm a crazy person right now.
  16. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    I didn't expect Montana, but yeah, totally makes sense if it stayed on rail when you look at the map and a pretty straight shot to Texas. I saw another post of a Texas destination bronco that went through Laurel, MT and ultimately through Amarillo. What threw me off was the "empty-released to...
  17. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    I do count it as a relief that I now have no reason to call back into CSX, otherwise, I fear it would have been a several times a day addiction. Now it's the mystery of how long it will take for a convoy truck to even be available for pickup.
  18. 11/21/2022 Build Week w/Spreadsheet

    Well, I made it 3 whole days telling myself I wasn't going to track it via rail, but finally broke down and got the rail car number from Ford Chat. Called CSX and they are reporting that it last stopped in Laurel, MT and is now empty and released to customer. All my searches on the forum say...
  19. đź’° Official: $2500 Order Modification Offer to Wildtrak Customers (switch trims) and Non-Wildtrak Customers (modify order to remove constraints)

    Short answer = no one knows true likelihood to get your 2DR as a MY2023 with the info we have right now in January 2023. The MIC top will still be the big commodities issue for you. Yes, they will continue to build 2 doors, even ones with Sasquatch and maybe even a few with Lux, so do you have...
