So apparently i have a phantom bronco that was just scheduled for production the week of june 20th. My dealership messed up somewhere and submitted 2 separate bronco orders connected to my email and name. It's an exact copy of my bronco currently sitting in a railyard waiting for pickup. Different order number and VIN. And of course, now the Ford order tracker is down so i can't check both of these orders for now 🙃 i always wondered why my backdoor link status never matched what was going on with the first VIN they gave me; this explains it.

Well, If the first one ends up being a lemon, you have a backup on the way!!

True! Would be nice to buy that one too and flip it but it took me 2 years to save up enough to afford the one i'm getting so i think that's out of the question lol

if you have your bronco how long did yours sit at the local rail yard before being picked up by a trailer and delivered to your dealer? Mine has been sitting in Ft. Worth since 5/20...
Mine sat for 15 days in pearland

Just got the pic from my dealer, arrived today! Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it down to Houston until the 17th to pick her up, but I’ve waited way less than most so I can wait a little more, haha

Thank you! They are Bartact handles I got off line. I think they were around $30 for the two front handles.
I have some as well. I might bring them with me when I go pick up my Bronco tomorrow. First mod done while still at the dealership! haha.

Been driving my car for roughly 150 miles. Does anyone on occasion get this burnt rubber or rotten egg smell from the vents or car? I have a 2.3 manual and the AC is on.

I got it for awhile, usually only on 20+ mile drives. It's started to subside though (just ticked over 1200 miles). I recommend just having your AC blasting and windows down as often as possible to clear it out.
