EDIT: Removed public slamming of my dealer. GM is a good guy.

(Jeez, my "sales girl" got back to me and said Ford doesn't allow them to give out rail car numbers, which is total BS, since Ford gave me the rail car number)

I also asked her to send me a screenshot of the vehicle visible report and she basically ignored that request.

Crossroads Ford in North Carolina, you guys suck.

I tried to place an order with them and it was a difficult process, couldn't get anyone to call me back. So I ended up buying elsewhere.

Seems like a lot of broncos are moving out of production, assuming the order tracker is accurate. Really hope I make the cut before they go on vacation next month

Thank you Scott, I appreciate you reaching out.

Apparently, my vehicle left the Michigan Assembly Plant on the 27th. So much for rail car tracking.

I will keep my eye on it and let you know as it updates on my end. Thanks for being patient.

Got a call out of the blue from my dealer, bronco is ready to pickup. Weirdly, the tracker is out of date...still showing in-transit.

After my previous delivery date passed about a week or so ago, when I called last week Ford said I didn’t have a new ETA. According to my dealer this morning, it’s now expected to be delivered between 7/2-7/8.

My dealer contacted me today so I get to pick mine up tomorrow.

Same here, same new window. I think at this point they just bump it back another week every time the window passes and it’s pretty much meaningless.

I have a hard time understanding why my “built” Bronco has been awaiting shipment to my dealer 9 miles away from the plant for the last two weeks and now will be at least three weeks…

Really thought my 6/20 change to “built” meant I would see it by the holiday weekend, seeing as I’m so close to the plant, and had my hopes up that I’d be able to take it on some trails while I’m up north. Should have known, with how things have been going, that that wouldn’t be the case.

Mine changed to built on 6/8. My first ETA was 6/14-6/20. I guess ‘Built’ doesn’t mean much.

Seems like not a lot of people have gotten baby pictures.

Checked my FordPass app and my Bronco has moved a couple miles from a Romulus/Taylor parking lot to a Canton parking lot, right by MAP. Also, gas is basically empty so I’m wondering if that means it’s getting ready for transport

This morning I was able to get some more information about the shipping delays that have been getting worse. My Bronco has been "awaiting shipping" for more than 3 weeks and MAP is only 15 minutes away, so I could not understand why it has not been delivered already. The previous delivery dates passed and the current one expires today. My dealer is the largest in the country so if they can't get it delivered and can't explain what is going on, who can? I decided to call the transport company today and got some better information. They told me my Bronco is not at MAP, and therefore they do not have access to it and cannot pick it up or deliver it to my dealer where they drop vehicles every day. I don't know exactly where my Bronco is because the FordPass activation has not been accepted, but it is at one of the "dozen of places around the area where thousands of vehicles have been parked" according to the transport company. My Bronco was previously on plant hold for a few issues (A-pillar wind noise, headlights, etc.) that have been fixed. It is my understanding that vehicles have been moved to different locations to fix respective issues and I suspect the A-pillar wind noise may be related to the recent windshield adhesive recall. Despite the issues with my Bronco being resolved and having been released from the plant, it can't be shipped until Ford gets it back to MAP where the transport company can pick it up. MAP will be shut down for regular production for 3 weeks starting next week during which time they should be able to get more vehicles back to MAP for shipping as well as fixing vehicles still on hold.
