2+ years and I finally crossed the finish line today! Traded a pot of gold for this beast and she’s 100% worth it. Even shoots double rainbows into the sky (special feature on rare unicorn black diamonds only ).

The kiddos are loving all over it

I finally got shipped!!!!!! Fingers crossed it arrives in the next few days (convoy Michigan to Ohio 4 hrs away).

Funny that the official tracker updated before orderapp said in transit and the backdoor still says in production

Got the call on Fri 8/5, picked her up on the 6th. Pulled the tops off as soon as we got home.

7/13 reservation holder, 4/26 blend date. ETA's were pushed from May, to June, to July, to August. I just put myself in the mindset of "it will come when it comes".

Dealer tried to tack on $15k last minute even though we had an agreement all along at MSRP. Luckily I had that in writing and they back pedaled pretty quickly, they honored MSRP.

Super stoked to get this baby out on the trails!

Funny you should ask. I called Ford Cust. Svc. to double-check my railcar #, and to ask if what I heard from salesperson & internet about embargo on automobile shipping to California. Verified my railcar # is good. Embargo was a bad word for basically a 'logjam' with commodities being shipped by rail to southern California - which ended the end of July.
I called the CSX Transportation 800 # and my railcar # departed 'East Barstow, CA' at 3ish today. checked the map for BNSF in Barstow (driven through Barstow so many times I knew this) and their railyard is on the map. So, it left Barstow at around 3pm today. I assume it travels down the Hwy 15 corridor, down the Cajon Pass, etc. Just not sure how many stops it has to make so the rail cars can be separated and re-mated for more localized delivery of portions of the train to the various location serviced by this train. I have no idea how that all works but I'm estimating it arrives in San Diego yard (under the Coronado Bridge) by Monday. "Fingers crossed" it doesn't take weeks to get 35 miles from SD Port to Carlsbad dealer.....

I can’t believe how completely F*cked up things are at ford. We are all in the same build week and it’s about to be the middle of August and some still are waiting on theirs. I guess I got very lucky. One month exactly from built date to pick up in south Florida. On what little plus side I can offer to those still waiting, it’s saving you money. I’m damn near doubling my payment each month and have put a additional 15k into mine, so there is that.

Funny you mention the Embargo email. I received that from my Dealer on Friday. We are on the same train to San Diego! Hopefully by next weekend its at least in San Diego.

Hey guys,

Haven't posted to this thread, but I am part of the 4/25 build week (HPR Wildtrack, LUX, leather) ... 4/26 blend date, sat around "in production" until 6/17... waited until the end of July to get shipped...

I am in SF Bay Area and part of what appears to be the unlucky group whose Bronco was sent via the northern route to "avoid" the embargo... yeah sure... it's now been sitting in Portland since 8/2 with a second bounced ETA of 8/16-23 and no sign of it going anywhere...

Rail tracking doesn't work anymore as the car number is empty and moved on...

In essence we went from stuck at MAP "awaiting shipping" to stuck in Portland ostensibly "in transit" but in fact back to "awaiting shipping"

The incredible clusterfuck continues and takes on a new twist.

Dave
