Congrats! Same everything as you - dates and specs with the exception of High Package, mine is Lux. Still Awaiting.
Hang in there. It does seem like there’s a lot of “shipping” movement if you watch the tracker and the number of vehicles in “similar” process. Hope you get yours soon.

Wanted to post an update!

Finally got my Cyber Orange4 door 7MT Black Diamond and took it on a roadtrip.

The Good

  • Got 24MPG in eco mode going from Colorado Springs to Ouray Colorado using premium fuel. Was not expecting this at all and very happy at the mileage going through the mountains. City however remains between 16-19 so far.
  • The manual is truly a joy to drive and reminders me of lighter track oriented vehicles with how the car shifts. (hated my manual JK's long throw clunky clutch)
  • Took it up by Imogene pass and the crawler gear is a game changer, very much worth the hype. No issues with the stock tires and clearance. If I aired down further, I think upgrading tire size and suspension would be worth it.
  • MIC hardtop was not an issue travelling. No more noise than you'd expect in a care that has a removable roof and we carried on in conversations without issue.
  • MGV was super comfortable during the ride and is a lot more breathable (IMO) than leather.
  • Noticeable difference in pickup between eco and sport G.O.A.T. modes. I was happy to learn that these modes were not as "gimmicky" as I'd heard.
The Bad:
  • Original ordering process was rough. Dealer in Colorado wanted to charge me 6k to order it from them, then reduced to 3k in "mandatory rocky mountain package accessories - a clear bra" - DO NOT BUY from Phil Long ford.
  • I instead ordered from Leramie Peak motors and had a great experience except for my Bronco arriving from MAP broken after sitting in the railyard for a month. The clutch cable was not installed correctly and the vehicle arrived stuck in first gear. Repaired in 4 days at no charge, unsure how this got missed by Ford during QA.
  • First gear on a a steeper incline is no where near as usable as crawler gear. This may sound like a "duh" moment but without the crawler gear I would have definitely got stuck a few times and would have had to change my lines often.

Final opinion
Could not be happier with my purchase :) Happy Friday!

Yes I do, pretty much all the forbidden fruits you can think of.
Had your order tracker updated? Or does it still just say built? Sorry for all the questions one more. Were you able to track it via CSX?

No worries, at all - we are in this together. Backdoor has not updated, no Ford official email, as well.

No official email from Ford but pizza tracker and order tracker say its been shipped and delivered. I haven't contacted the dealership to see if it's in but will contact them tomorrow. Crossing my fingers...

2nd day reservation. 5/23 Build week. Built 6/10.
