Looks like baby pictures went out. Mine is on a train in Washington state, Ford Pass is in deep sleep mode so I can't track it. My baby picture:

I’m still in production/plant hold and mine was driven to that same Romulus lot last night as well.

Let’s hope they get finished here soon!!

How do you activate the FordPass?

Just added the car to the app using the VIN number then sent a request to activate then it was pending. Sometimes I have heard if they get in your bronco they might accept it or deny it. Got lucky and they accepted it the other day when they moved it.

Has anyone in "awaiting shipping" group with the EDD estimate 6/17 - 6/23 gotten any updates now that it's expired?
Starting to fear end up like the production purgatory. Started out as 300 ish in similar status and now there are 509.

I haven't gotten any updates since my initial ETA of 5/21-5/27.

Maybe ours will be together- they'll drop mine off on the way to drop yours off!! (Central PA) Fingers crossed!!!

Sweet!! Is your Freight ID 7999? While I’m at it, anyone else have the same Freight ID?

That is where mine was driven to a few weeks back before I moved into awaiting shipment. Moved again a week later and received the built email from Ford. Good luck

Thank you!

As my Bronco is getting closer to delivery I reached out to my salesperson to begin finalizing the delivery paperwork. So far so good, selling at MSRP as agreed, but they left out price protection. So I'm having to go back and forth on that. I believe it will get worked out but it's disappointing I had to point it out, they should have been upfront about it. They have sold many special order Bronco's already. Also they list the MSRP as $299 higher than sticker than give a $299 rebate, strange but it's still MSRP. Must be a Ford thing.

Pretty sure my thoughts are just wishful thinking- I’m trying to make logistical sense for FORD my freight ID is 7467….. but no movement for me. Still in awaiting shipment.

Just called....
They're saying new EDD is July 1st.
Freight ID 7259 for me.

Never easy, dealer is saying I don’t qualify for FY21 price protection. I sent them the FAQ link to Ford and they still say I don’t see anything in SMART VICNENT. I’ll be calling CS tomorrow to get the certificate number for them. The cluster continues. Why does the customer have to do the dealers job? More reason to go direct sales.

EDIT: Retail Price protection is not in SV, but is the refund issued to dealer after the sale is confirmed by Ford to have gone to the order holder. Still working this out with my dealer.

My dealer was ’happy’ to apply my price protection once I showed them all the instructions on how to do it. Only took an hour or so. Then I found out they had refunded my initial $100 deposit to my credit card so I had to pay that again so the paperwork would be even.

Get's better and better. Dealer offered $1000 off because they can't figure our Retail Price Protection. This is in addition to the $250 already approved for the FY22 price protection.

I'm trying to educate them on the Retail Price Protection using the information found on these forums but I believe they are not taking me serious. Maybe I will be able to convince them before my Bronco arrives next month or they will figure it out by them.

The good news is the railcar with my Bronco has reached it's final destination and is in place to be off loaded! Now to be off loaded, trucked to the port, loaded on a barge, taken to the port of Anchorage, offload then trucked to the dealer. What could go wrong?

Your price is locked in on the date the order was placed. That is your price. Doesn't matter if FMC does a price increase of 10K per vehicle. Your price is what it was the day your order was submitted. They can log into the Ford SmarVincent dealer portal and show your order details, including exactly what the price was when the order was submitted. There is NO question about this. That is your price.

I don't trust dealers and I never will. If they can get a nickel out of you they will.

Their hope is probably that you walk and they put it on the lot with a massive ADM. This isn't rocket science, but you have to know your stuff going in there.

My dealer tried to tell me that Ford would mail me the difference, but that is NOT the case. Stick to your guns.

I think I have posted this already, but watch this video and take notes. Starts at 1:45 mark of video.
