🛠 12/20/21 Build Week Group

[T2Canuck]

After over a year and a half since placing my reservation, the day finally arrived! I took delivery of my Bronco last night! My build is a Badlands, non-sas, eruption green, 2.7/auto, HD modular front bumper, wheel upgrade, MIC hard-top with lux and towing packages. I have to say that it is a beautiful rig. This might be the first EG Bronco to hit the streets of Houston.

For those of you interested in how my experience evolved, the timeline is - 7/13/20 reservation, production 12/23/21, built 12/26/21, delivered 1/17/22. Russell & Smith Ford here in Houston honored their word and sold the vehicle to me at MSRP (all I had were emails and text messages stating that they would sell at MSRP. I did not have a formal contract aside from the $600 deposit I gave them in August of 2020). Although there was no ADM applied to the purchase price, I was obliged to pay a $1,995 addendum (which is applied to all of this dealership's new car sales and includes 1 year tire/rim protection, 1 year paintless dent repair, theft deterrent, window tint, wheel locks, paint and interior protection, and 1 year collision deductible). This was clearly communicated to me by the dealer months prior to the sale and was not an optional purchase - oh well... . All things considered, I was happy with the experience and felt that I was treated honestly and fairly. The MY21 MSRP price protection for early order holders was honored by Ford and showed up as an $825 rebate to my MY22 MSRP purchase price.

I want to say thank you to the Bronco6g community for all the comradery and moral support as we have gone through this process together. I truly feel part of an awesome community. For all of my fellow Bronco enthusiasts that are still awaiting your rigs, please hang in there and know that the wait is worth it.

Best,
Todd from Houston

While I'm still showing an estimated delivery window of 01/17/22-01/23/22, the CSX trace showed being in the Chicago area since 01/11. I assumed that there is no way it could be true and that it must have been handed off to United, even though I could never get the UP trace to work.
Dealer confirmed today that sure enough, stuck in Illinois since 01/11.

Mine was stuck in Illinois for a while too. Not sure exactly how long, because I didn’t start tracking my rail car til it had just left, but I think that’s where it got transferred from CSX to Union Pacific. After that, the only place it got hung up was in Cheyenne for three days. Mine was one of the first 22s built, blend date on 12/21, in production 12/23, built 12/26, and it said “shipped” on 12/28, but it was just the dot under “shipped“, doesn’t show a date there.

If it really did ship out on 12/28, it was stuck in Illinois for over a week, because it was barely out of Illinois when I first got my rail car number on 1/9. My edd never changed until it got stuck in Wyoming, and then it got pushed back five days.

My bronco is apparently in Milpitas right now, it’s final destination by rail, waiting to be driven to my dealership. The UP and CSX trackers both said it arrived there Sunday morning. Tonight, the CSX tracker said the “cargo was released” last night around 7pm, and the UP tracker is saying that it is in some other town in CA, and expected arrival in Milpitas is 1/22. I think the rail car must have already left for a short turnaround and is expected to be back on the 22nd. That’s what I’m hoping at least. Now I am stalking the dealership, looking for a green bronco, because I don’t trust them to reach out when it arrives.

My friends the Bronco is finally home. Got the notice this morning that it was delivered. Went and stalked my dealership just to make sure it was there and ended up driving it home a few hours later. I think I might have beat out my San Diego brother that was hoping for the first Eruption Green Bronco in California. Wish all the boys at Table 9 the best of luck and stay strong. I’ll cover the next round of appetizers.

Ahhhh! It looks so good! Congrats man! Hopefully San Diego will see my EG OBX soon! Been stuck in Emporia Kansas for 4 days 🥲

From my ship date, I was expecting to have the first green bronco in CA. So up yours, and congrats! Maybe I can still have the first green bronco in CA with a hard top.

@PNWbroncoFam1977 - Where you at tracking wise? I left North Dakota today, crossing my fingers for delivery next weekend....

Lol … it’s wild to watch the whole process.. minute I see mine I’m calling dealer and telling them get it in the truck. I’m staring at it …

 

[fltechpilot]

For those of you that have taken delivery of a 2.7, what engine production dates do you have? Curious to see where our engines will fit on the timeline for failures that have been observed.

What about me? Have you found mine? I can't get a damn update to save my life. Chicago January 2nd. Ugh.

 

[donkeyodie]

So is my truck stuck at the yard right now? Is this what I’m seeing and I noticed cancelled when looking at the tracking to the dealer. Means that have another way of picking it up I guess.

United Road canceled my ride also - I think I saw someone earlier in this thread say they were also canceled and that a different carrier (Sierra?) delivered their truck. I'm hoping canceled means someone else got the job and its coming. PS - I grew up not to far from where you are on the North Shore.

Tomorrow could be our day.

My EDD is 01/29 but never had any update on built or shipped.. with the new window stickers being produced makes me nervous it sat in a QC hold ..
