Could my bronco be added to the list? I am a 12/6/21 build week group. My vin # is 1FMEE5DP3MLB06972. My blend is 1668 and I was told that I am to expect my Bronco by the 21st of January. It was being shipped by rail to Oklahoma City where it is supposed to be delivered to the dealership by convoy. I could not get a rail car number to verify though through the dealership.

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.

Thank You for doing God's work over there keeping my hope alive. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that Area 51 outer banks. According to my dealership my Bronco is suppose to arrive this week. I like to imagine that's mine in the picture, matches my build pretty close. Either way this renewed my hope.

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

I have a feeling mine will do the same. I am at 1/18 EDD right now but I still don’t have a built confirmation. So unless they can put it on a train and get it to the dealer accross country in 1 day then I would say my date is inaccurate

I wonder if I can navigate phones with calling MAP directly. Maybe get ahold of someone at the plant? Who dares me to try? (Everyone raises their hand). Are they closed tomorrow?

Departed Ronan, Montana today at 8:00pm. Hopefully that means the train will hit Washington tomorrow or later tonight!

I am supposed to deliver 1/20 to OKC too. No rail car number but I was sitting in Illinois on 1/9

What do you mean no rail car number? Were you tracking it via rail and then it switched cars?

I am getting a “no available status” when I call the CSX number.

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?

Not on mine , sounded like a 4 door thing in the other thread, I'm a 2 door.

I may have misread a previous post. I thought dealers could provide a rail car or freight number of some sort. My salesman/buddy stated all their units come by train then transfer over to a semi for final delivery.

I hope so, its been a long time coming.

I wonder if it was on the same train as mine.

That's accurate unless you're super close to MAP, then they go by convoy the entire way. Ask you salesperson to have the Inventory Specialist find this report for you for your rail car number.

I, "triple-dog", dare you! My 2 Dr WT status has gone silent since In Production Jan 4. No Window Sticker, either.

Exciting!!!
