FYI, another TX order. Mine was a 10/18 blend date, shipped out on 10/20 and an 11/2 -11/8 ETA.

Got a phone call this morning from the dealership saying it was in San Antonio and should be here in Austin later this evening.

Fingers crossed.

I’m in the Austin area too! What dealership did you use? So it doesn’t really sound like a rail space issue if people scheduled after me are getting theirs.

Yep, so far so good with Covert. My sales person has been great since this all started, reaching out to me about switching tops etc. to get it sooner. Pretty sure some folks have had little to no communication from their dealerships....so I feel fortunate to say the least.

I’m wondering what’s really going on with mine. I never even got a built email. My dealer is not helpful. Communication has been so bad.
I hope you get yours soon. It’s great that it’s shipped!

It’s just speculation without access to the system to see what’s going on. Your dealer can look at the Vehicle Visibility report and see it’s status. These are “usually “ issues found during QC that need rework. There will be updates in the report like “arrived at body shop” etc.

Yeah. I wonder if he is even taking the time to look at that. Doesn’t seem so.

What I’ve seen around here is most dealers don’t take the time to look it up for you. There is probably only one person at the dealership with access, and that’s usually one of the “manager” titles. Salesman probably don’t want to ask them to run the report. They also probably don’t want to tell the customer your Bronco is in the body shop for rework, the less you know…..

Also have to remember the normal dealer operation model is order some vehicles for the lot and they show up eventually. The Bronco is a new special case. They aren’t used to tracking these things.

@4L0wBr0nc0
I went to Covert Ford in Hutto yesterday to size up mine to what they had, and they just got a 4-door Cyber Orange Badlands(I think) that someone canceled as soon as it showed up. They are excited about being able to sell that one on their own!

That’s helpful. Thanks for that info. I will give it another two weeks and if I don’t get updates I will go down there and talk with them in person. I’m totally ok if it need some extra work. I get that. Just tell me!!! Lol

Haha yeah I'll bet they're super stoked about that. That's a good model/color combo to have suddenly become dealer inventory right now.

I wonder if that person would be the "New Car Inventory" Manager. That's who called me earlier, not my sales person. He was able to tell me that is was in San Antonio and added "the truck its arriving on usually shows up in the evening." He knew all the details, even the specific truck delivering it apparently.

I am with Ford of Boerne. It showed up at the rail yard late Thursday night, but it has not shown up at the dealership yet. If we are not able to pickup today, it will be Friday before we can grab it.

They are making me buy their $1295 Protection Plan in order to buy my Bronco. I have told them I didn't want three times, but they are telling me I have no choice if I want my Bronco. I am pissed about it, especially considering I am friends with the owner of the dealership.

Any other dealers pulling this BS when yall picked up?

Is that like an extended warranty or something?
