🛠 12/6/21 Build Week Group

[Bronco in the mitten]

I’m so happy to see many of you have your Bronco’s in transit. Congrats! For others like myself, this is agony not even receiving a “built” email. (I‘m a 12/6 Blend and 9/2363, WT)

Well it’s Sunday in the Detroit area and the Lion’s aren’t in the NFL playoffs again, there’s minimal snow in Northern Michigan for snowmobiling, so what can I do? I’ve already checked my Trackers and no updates, I’m still “in production” with a EDD of 1/18, which I’m confident will not happen. (Orig 12/19 EDD) So I decided to drive 30 minutes over to the MAP, to see if there was any activity and ask for my WT Bronco. I prepared to communicate my request, using poster board attached to wood stakes:

“Open the corral and let the 12/6 Bronco’s run free”
”Bronco’s deserve to run free”
”Bronco’s shouldn’t be corralled”
“Free our Bronco’s”
”Let the Bronco’s run wild”

It was at this point my wife decided not to go with me to the MAP. Upon arriving at the MAP, it was clear Ford‘s trying to stage and move the production vehicles as fast as they can and my “signs” were not going to move them any quicker.
- As I pulled down Michigan Avenue, which runs in front of the MAP, three new Bronco’s drove across the road heading West. I gave chase but lost them 2 miles up the road. I observed multiple groups of three Bronco’s headed somewhere. Eventually, I was able to follow one of the groups to what looked like a railroad staging area, ending up with 3 new Bronco’s in front of me and two behind me.
- Accross from the MAP there are two Convoy staging areas, both filled with car haulers, some empty but many getting ready to roll.

I can attest, the MAP is buzzing and hopefully we’ll all see our Bronco’s very soon.

Note: Other should not take this adventure, as you’ll see hundreds of Bronco’s and wonder why they just can’t let you drive yours home.

I’ll try to attach some pictures. Sorry if they’re fuzzy, no copilot so I cropped them.

Didn't happen to see an antimatter blue 2 door basesquatch by chance?

Not sure if you all saw the post today about 22s getting delivered with rear stabilizer bars with no notice, since we were some of the last to be built for 21 MY I'm curious if they truly are model year dependant or if they were added to any built past a certain date. Can anyone check theirs?

You’re my hero and I hope your wife patiently let you show her each and every photo from your worthwhile adventure. (Mine would’ve cut me off to say, but you didn’t see yours did you?!?!)

Hope my updates aren’t annoying to those that don’t have updates yet, but meant to be encoraging that things are moving. My rail car is now on its way from Selkirk (near Albany, NY) to East Brookfield , MA (central mass). I’ve never tracked rail cars, I’m impressed at the sheer number of stops and yards that exist along with the tracker abilities.

LOL. My wife’s exact word’s were: “Did you see yours? (with a tilted head and a smart a- - smile)”. I replied: “I’ didn’t, but I’m off tomorrow, so I’m thinking of taking my drone back to find it!”

Well if it is I hope they unload it fast so she can move along. It was sat in Kansas City for two days already.

Was bored today so I stopped by the rail yard. I happened across our rail car pretty quick. It was hard to tell, but the car looked empty and was connected to 4-5 others that all looked empty. Not sure if yours would get unloaded then transferred to another car? Or does it go by convoy to you now?

There were 200+ new Fords sitting in the yard. Looked through and didn't see mine, but I could have easily missed it lol. Probably 10-15 Broncos all sitting out there.

THIS IS SO COOL! Thank you for sharing!

I can't help but wonder if they have to totally unload due to the way they were ordered, then load it back up? Hmmm... I don't think that the rail car # ever changes...

Get the damn 22s off the trucks and deliver our 21s

Your updates are NOT annoying! I’m so happy to hear of a WildTrak getting close to delivery. Did you have the LUX package?
Reason I ask…..Ford issued a recall mid December for the accident control module and the radar sensor placement. The recall was for Bronco’s produced earlier this year, but it might be an issue some of the Bronco’s are delayed. Congrats on yours being shipped

Good info. I did not get Lux. It’s a mid pkg with 2.7, tow, mic top, mod bumper, tube steps, and brush guard. I’ll upload a pic when it arrives. Like you, the dead silence on this forum Re:Wildtrak has had me concerned and was convinced everything from the top, tow all the way to (crazy thoughts) black/tan seats, graphics/stickers were the hold-ups.

I’ve tried a couple times today to get rail status and it keeps telling me “no status available”. Not sure what that means.

There are multiple broncos in our group that are paused for the moment. Mainly WT and OBX builds. it is agonizing. I am short a car right now which is really why I am frustrated. I cant go buy another vehicle just to take this one. If I wasn't short a vehicle I would just shrug my shoulders and say "well I guess I just have to wait a bit longer" In the beginning I fully expected to wait a while. the problem is you get hopes once you get it built and think you are in the home stretch. just to have it really STREEETTTTCCCCHHH

Great recon though, I really appreciate it. I love when those that live close give some insight. thanks again

Tracker updated my EDD tonight from 1/19 to TBD. So guessing I’ll get pushed out again. Patience, I need some patience.

Love the fact there is action at MAP shipping.
Hate the fact I saw a bunch of 22's loaded.
