🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

[TNLandCruiser]

Hey there...did your Bronco arrive?!

Nope. Backdoor tracker still says the same thing (built estimated 1/20-1/26). Pizza tracker bumped back to 2/3. I'm somewhere in between the "in production" purgatory and having it delivered.

United updated to delivered! We’re about to get a blizzard so I doubt I’ll get it this weekend. But at least it made it to the dealer!

You are like the grim reaper with respects to your timing.

yeah anyone who wants someone to suffer, shoot me a PM with their # and I'll text them

Most ex-Purgs have tow, too.

I think we need a Limbo tab, too, for those of us whose trucks are sitting in the rail yard and are told it might take up to 2 weeks for delivery. it's conceivable that a limbo sitter could win the Last Bronc award.

Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Picked mine up yesterday at Gullo Ford in Conroe. Because I financed it, had to sit through the sales pitch for all the add-ons in Finance Mgr office. Asked him to meet the Flood price and he couldn't. Also, glad I had my interest rate settled before I walked in because they quoted me 1% higher. Finance then met my number. Daryle Nelson, Fleet/Internet manager made the transaction quick and easy otherwise -- second car I've bought through him.

Initial impressions:

1. Eruption Green is way better in person than I expected. It's not 90's Toyota Camry green but more Masters golf green. The metallic paint is stunning.

2. The 2.7 is plenty powerful and I'm surprised at how nice it pulls from a stop. Gearing and low end torque is tuned nicely for city.

3. Cruised home down I-45 to Hardy Toll Road at 80-85 with no problems at all. Yes it's loud but not THAT loud. Steering is spot on and stable at speed even with Sasquatch.

4. Got a rock chip in window at about 11 miles on the odometer.

5. B&O stereo, SYNC4, Wireless Car Play -- all work flawlessly. B&O is plenty loud enough to drown out wind noise.

6. Removing OBX running boards today. They're worthless and get in the way.

7. Love the painted mirrors and black grille/white letters on OBX pkg.

Attaching a few pictures from yesterday/this morning. Glad I waited and did not pull the trigger on the Defender 110. Was *thisclose* to buying it. I would have regretted not seeing this through to the end.

Gah! so frustrating that we have the same build! Happy for you and super jealous at the same time lol

Hey, which color did you get?

Cyber orange

Good news! Moving right along!

The cities in the recordings don't match up with the cities on the map. Have had to do a lot of sleuthing thru Google Maps armed with the fractured phonetics of the synthesized voice. CSX tracks all the way to CA and has better info than UP.

not sure if this will help, but https://railfanatlas.com/?x=-93.8588973&y=39.38856&z=11&p=0 seems to be helping me track mine

So you dont have a check mark next to Built on the Pizza Tracker? Welcome to the Purgatory Party!

 

[Gatlinz]

Yea mine is next week too
Where you located?

Out in Colorado

Thanks. Never hurts to post these references early and often, as it's hard to find something you saw on some thread even a day ago.

I am in train-to-truck limbo, not yet in palsapp or United. Was told by dealer it can take 2 weeks. Have asked @Cat to provide a Limbo tab in the spreadsheet.

 

[Crimzn]

Trackers have been way behind. Yours may be at the dealers. Typically, the shipped status has been updating when the trucks are at the dealer!!

Have you called your Dealer? Do you know where your Bronco is tonight?

<grin>

Congrats.

Yeah they haven't received yet . Messaged my dealer today to see if they have any other info for now!

I rarely break down and text my salesman for updates, but when I do, I have epic timing. first time, he responded that he was at his sister's funeral. yesterday, he writes back that he's out with COVID

Rough timing. However, you're a customer, giving them a lot of money. I don't feel like they owe me an answer every time, but I am not afraid to ask. That's for certain.

Out in Colorado
