What I say is true regardless of your 'filter'. Maybe more words will help...

First, Bronco vehicle problems ... I am a repeat Toyota buyer from Corolla, to Camrys, to 4Runner to FJ Cruiser. That brand has never in the 7 vehicles I've bought had any significant issue. Never bought the extended warranty. This Bronco would have been my first Ford purchase and was seriously considering the extended warranty. As I read on this site about one problem after another, for fun, I created the thread, "Ford Bronco Wheel of Misfortune"; a spinny wheel where you take a chance on what problem you may have. The 2-door Broncos I've seen, I've loved looking at. And, the pic they sent of mine just off the assembly line I kinda cringe that I'm letting it go. But, it's the right thing to do for me and my family.

Selling it ... I'm selling it for $5K above MSRP+tax+reg. I think that is reasonable given the market and potential issues someone will have (hopefully not) with this new vehicle. Whatever the factory puts on it for miles will be it; I won't be driving it at all.

I will consider purchasing again if the problems get addressed and the alternator is placed higher in the engine compartment than it currently is.

Dan

super reasonable take! good luck!!

Lol just got out of a chat, they bumped my ETA from 5/13 to 6/22. Says there’s no holds or delays listed. Brutal.

ordertrack app switched to "In Transit" for me (had been "Awaiting Shipment" since Monday). I am Rail, no details displayed there. Ford tracker still hasn't updated. Maybe by the morning the Ford site will have updated

Blend date was 4/26. In production as of 4/28. Ford tracker still says in production. Ford chat originally gave an eta to the dealership of 5/18. Just got through chatting again...not good news.

I chatted yesterday and asked what's the deal? Is it even being built at this point? He repeated what I've been getting for the past two weeks, ETA at dealership 5/18-5/24... 5 more days to make it to San Diego??? LOLOLOL OK

Looks like our Bronco might have been loaded onto the crazy train. Per CSX tracking it shipped out of Michigan on the 9th May. By May 12th it was in a rail yard in Twin Oaks Pennsylvania where it sat for six days. This morning it showed up 90 miles to the Southwest in Jessup Maryland . Hopefully its not going to Massachusetts via Jacksonville FL. Looking on the bright side, at least its moving .

Anyone else’s Bronco stuck in Dodge City, Kansas? Mine has been sitting there for a few days with no ETA, per the CSX hotline.

Got rail info from Ford...as of now the train is at the assembly plant being loaded. Its next scheduled arrival is Twin Oaks, PA on 5/25. I guess my car is one of the first to get loaded. Twin Oaks is near Philly (< 600 miles from MAP) so not sure if it will get offloaded there and go by truck to my dealer in NJ or go by train to Newark, NJ where there is another location that i see a lot of cars offloaded from rail (not sure what types though)

~~~ "MY DEALER SAID" WARNING ~~~

Just got off the phone with my dealer. I was told my Bronco is on the train and that train is in Mira Loma, CA right now, about 25 miles away from the dealership.

Between getting it off the train and transported to the dealer, I'm guesstimating I'll be able to pick it up on... Tuesday?

It's oh so close now. I wonder what last-minute "oopsie!" is awaiting me?
