As of this morning, I checked the rail car tracker with NS Norfolk Southern and it is off the rail car at the yard in Wentzville, MO which is right next to my dealership. Hopefully it doesn't sit there forever now waiting for the short transport to the dealership.

Wow! That was quick! Hopefully you will have it soon enough.

I am embarrassed at how obsessed I am with this. I really am. But I looked up the address and drove to the rail yard to see. Huge lot with tons of new vehicles in groups of Ford, GM, Dodge, etc. I saw a couple Broncos in the Ford section but not mine. I couldn't get into the lot itself obviously just looking from across the street. But a few transports left full of vehicles in the time I was there looking...I can't imagine they would sit there that long. Another thread on this forum a guy (who seemed to know exactly what he was talking about) said it is Ford's responsibility to get it from the rail yard, and that they have 48 hrs to do so or they are charged storage fees after that. Who knows though.

I would take your trade in to some other places to get a base for what it’s worth in advance. It’s been awhile since I did this but Carmax saved me money at the dealership, when they lowballed me, and by showing the offer they matched it. Different times today possibly?

In my case I went to two other dealers using KBB instant cash offers and strangely my Ford dealer offered the highest amount. It was above Carmax & other online offers too.

Agreed, I am obsessed as well, I have owned 12 Bronco's. Lol! That is good to know about the railyard after delivery from the train to the car carrier. I was wondering how long they would sit there until they are moved. Mine is supposed to be in Nashville on Sunday. My dealer is 100 miles from Nashville. Maybe I will have mine next week. Fingers crossed!

My dealer just texted me that my car is in Nebraska and should be in Denver by next week!

I also found out that because I am registering my car out of state, they have to allow 10 days after my payment clears before they can release the car to me. Major bummer because I was really hoping to get it before my surgery… but it’ll work out either way. I’ll go in half dead if I have to lol.

Are you able to watch your video? YouTube says i can’t watch because it’s private. I logged in to YouTube with an account that matches my email with Ford too, but no dice. Tried on my phone and on desktop. Is there a trick to this? Clear cache?

No, it says it's private for me too, I tried Brave browser and Safari browser with the same message. I don't have a google account (don't want one) so I can't log in.

Yeah, it isn't letting me watch my video either.

Built 1/19/2023, have modules popped and tear tag but still no shipping email or on the tracker.

Would be nice to get the assembly line photo to hold me over!
