Was dropping the dogs off at the farm so they could get some exercise and decided to show the Bronco another fried chicken spot and grab a snowy pic.

Tested out the ACC on the way. There wasn't enough people on the road to check on the distance and speed adjustments, but it handled hills well, tight corners still needed brakes.

That burning smell finally went away and I crossed the 200 mile mark.

Oh, and my wife's dog drools like crazy, so I feel completely vindicated in getting vinyl seats in a truck this expensive.

She looks so majestic

Uh oh... is this a sign of good things happening??!?!?!?!?! I know it's dumb but mine is showing a pic now also

I would think so!! Mine still shows nada!

The EG against the snow is so photogenic. The hard part is to remember to stop and take photos. I have no idea how those YouTubers do it. I just wanna drive.

Anyone having remote start issues via their fob or Ford pass app? From some trial and error…aka waking up the morning after taking delivery and it not starting with Ford Pass or the key fob, we got into a bizarre computer limbo. Happened again today…morning two.

The constant? It’s freakin’ COLD. Thinking it’s falling into deep sleep, but @Ford, why would the fob and app allow me to try and then literally freeze everything. I had to unhook my battery today just to reset the dash. Not super convenient.

If this is just a deep sleep issue, that should be explained to owners. Why pay for remote start to avoid going outside and then HAVING to go outside.

long post, but I should add that my dad’s 2021 f350 and brother’s 2019 expedition both started with zero issue via Ford pass.

My 2021 F150 was having the same problem in extreme cold <0 defrees. I found (with help from the forum) that the fuses weren’t fully seated. Once I pushed them all the way in the problem went away.

Well the Bronco surpassed the 100 miles mark last night, I told the wife I was going to buy her a beater to drive. That we were putting to many miles on it.

Ya, I used to attach GoPros on 5 different spots, bring a drone, setup trail cams but it just got too much. Now I have a dash cam and just use whatever it records..lol

I'll only be getting out to trails maybe two weekends a month and then longer trips maybe once a year, so I'll likely stick to just rad still photos.

Also, 5 GoPros?!

Any movement on yours yet?

nopers. calling dealer first thing tomorrow morning. i have no clue who how this process works and need someone to explain it to me like I'm 6.

From my perspective the vehicle was offloaded from rail car on Jan 19 so I don't know why it hasn't been delivered. I thought dealer just had to call United Road to pick it up. It's been ~5 days so I'm missing something.

I need to know what variables are involved to get the vehicle loaded on truck, and under what conditions must occur for it to happen.

For example does CSX have to schedule pick up time with United Road or vice versa? or can United Road just go pick up when they want? or does my dealer have to coordinate the pickup with CSX? United road? or both? What is the current holdup? CSX backlog? Lack of workers b/c of covid? etc..

I have issues..
We would setup one on the top of the cab facing forward, another backwards.
We would have one on the low side
We would have one on the front suspension and one on the rear end.
It just took too much time in production.
Now they bring out pros to do it. I just have fun.

I have all the same questions. Mine was emptied from the car yesterday and was curious how the logistics work at this point.

Does United Road still have yours listed as inactive as well?

Good luck getting answers. When I call ford they have zero explanation. And my dealer is even less help.

I’m interested in all of the above as well. I can tell you what my dealer said however; he said they must have 12 vehicles per convoy so my bronco would sit at the rail yard until enough vehicles were ready to load a convoy truck. Mine has been at railyard since last Tuesday, and sat as inactive until Friday evening, when it changed in United Road as pending pickup. There are now 7 cars pending pickup for my dealer. I’m hopefully Monday or Tuesday.

yes but not expecting to ever change. I added VIN's from multiple ford dealerships in charlotte and website does not show any current or delivered for any of them.

then i figured out entering dealership code and choosing reference number 2 will show everything for that particular dealership. 827 orders - only ones that showed delivered were from 2014 and 2015.

Are you checking the United Road status and how many cars are ready for pick-up? Mine dropped off the 19th as well, but was the only one at the stop. Now there are 4 but I imagine they try to maximize the car hauler capacity and fewest stops. Just my guess.
