Thinking they are doing some extra quality checks on yours.

yup think so, it is now at the united road services lot which is where the rail journey begins. So I am most definitely off the chip hold since it is about to ship and it is 25 miles away from MAP

Mine still shows built and no update since then on 1/28.

For those with Ford Pass activated. Have you tried to start it or honk the horn? Haha
Would love to see the look on people's faces when a car at the factory randomly starts.

Any of the 1/23/2023 build week folks seeing their Bronco on FordPass yet?

I got my FordPass activated at flat rock Michigan by someone that was moving my vehicle to a different side of the lot. I watched it move. I’m on a chip hold so i really don’t know why it was activated before totally being built.

I did get the shipped email and the pizza tracker says shipped. I've asked my dealer several times, but he has been absolutely worthless.
Dealership is Autonation in Fort Worth, TX on Bryant Irving.

Just realized you are from Fort Worth too. Which dealership did you use?

I just got my shipping email this morning. Sounds like we'll be traveling together to the same Dealership! MJ is my contact over there now. He is rather new, but stays in contact, and if he isn't sure he gets answers from the sales manager as much as he can. The sales manager is the only guy over there that actually places the Bronco orders. I sat down and spoke with him for a while. He was pretty knowledgeable.

Prior to MJ, I barely had any contact, I was completely in the dark on anything that was going on.

That sounds about right. I'm working with Darnel. When ever i ask him a question he says he has ask the sales manager. Sounds like the sales manager doesn't like to share any knowledge. Has MJ mentioned anything about price protection?

Just got off of Ford Chat with a very nice person. I didn't get a rail car number, but they did say that the Bronco is in Dolton, IL (Indiana Harbor Belt RR Company) waiting for handoff to another rail line. Hopefully all of us West Coast people that were built last week are together on the train. At least I know it is still not sitting at the factory and is headed the right direction.

I haven't talked with him about it since Christmas. He said he can't see anything until the vehicle is closer to arriving. I shot him a text, and if he has any other answer I'll let you know.

Also, just so you know. They will do the tint, glass protection, and license plate holder when it arrives, but of course we pay for it.

Marcin is no longer there. I went in recently to check something and I was told he left, and so far everyone is still saying MSRP.

Fremont isn't close to Irvine, how'd you end up there?

Your build is very much the same and funny thing is I was going to change to white, most of my cars were/is white and I found out I was scheduled. No email, but I was too late to change it to white.

Getting built with Sasquatch before I could change color is way better than getting the change your order email.

Sad to hear about Marcin leaving, glad they are still honoring MSRP.

I would swap for Antimatter Blue….but that ship has since sailed. I have a set of blue TE37xs that have been collecting dust for the past year and a half waiting for this truck.

My delivery window is Feb 15 - 21, but I haven’t received any confirmation other than the email from Ford. I moved to Fremont for work and didn’t bother changing dealers; I have family in Irvine that I’ll visit when I pick up the Bronco.

Hope to see you soon!

I'm texting them now. They better not do any of that crap when it arrives. I don't trust any of those fools and I don't want to pay for anything I didn't ask for.

Crap, I really hope they aren't going to pull some dumb crap like that.

Yea, I would have liked to complete the transaction with him, but I met the new guy Nate, he seems to be good to work with too and he said once Bronco is ready a salesman will be assigned to take care of the rest.

My delivery 2/17 - 23, they could even come in together. Even if arriving at the rail yard separate, they could be loaded on to the same truck to dealer. Let me know when you're coming down.

 

[brutus]

mine still shows built, awaiting shipment so this is wild lol. I just hope we both ship soon

I'm still back to showing "In Production" on the tracker and just got a confirmation from Ford chat that my status is "In Transit" and she was able to give me the rail car #. I used the automated prompts for Norfolk Southern indicating it was in Bellevue OH as of 2AM this morning, so hopefully that is accurate.

Still waiting for a call back from my dealer to locate my private offer certificate.

Shipped this morning finally!
