6/20/22 Build Week Group

[timmy24t2000]

I just got off the phone with them and was told mine is passing thru Blue Island, Illinois. There wasn't a railcar number assigned.

Ford gave me my rail car info earlier this week. My dealer confirmed yesterday that mine made it to Blue Island, IL. Still a ways to go for me, I am up in the Pacific Northwest. ETA is 7/30 - 8/5

I should have called earlier this week. Mine is headed to central Oregon eta is 7/31-8/6 so maybe they are on the same train headed out west.

That’s interesting. I spoke with Ford Customer Support today and was also informed no railcar number had been assigned but the dealer would be able to provide it to me. Makes no sense, a railcar number hasn’t been assigned but the dealer can access the railcar number? Smells like bullshit. So, I called the dealer and he told me they were no longer providing railcar numbers to their customers. Said he’d see me in a couple of weeks?

Sounds awfully familiar!!! I bet mine is on a train and will just show up without any updates.

I think it depends on the dealer, mine provided me with with a rail car number. Some just don’t want to deal with the hassle, that’s their policy not Ford’s.

Good for you, I’m glad your dealer provided you with a railcar number. Perhaps there’s a valid reason for the dealer not providing a railcar number, I didn’t ask, and, I don’t recall complaining it was Ford’s policy.

I suspect you’re right.

I apologize if I made it sound like you were complaining. Maybe there is a good reason not to provide one. We are here to exchange information, learn from and support one another, sorry if I offended you.

Not a problem. You’re exactly right, I learn a lot from this forum and very much appreciate the support we provide each other. Many of us first reserved our Bronco coming on 2 years. The lack of communication from Ford has been frustrating and the best information regarding our Bronco builds have been from the fine folks on this forum sharing their experiences.

Hope your Bronco arrives soon. Best of luck!

Anyone receive any new tracking updates on their Bronco? Mine is still sitting in KCMO rail yard.

Let’s hope our broncos find their way home before this looming railway strike takes hold.

I heard about this from a cousin who is a truck driver! Mine departed Louisville, KY on 7/7 at 5pm and is heading toward somewhere in Georgia I cannot decipher. It sounds like “Halls Transboro” and the closest thing I can find is “Hulsey Transflo” which is a big rail yard in Atlanta. From there it will be taken to Dixiana, SC. Yesterday I had an ETA to SC of the 12th, no ETA as of this morning

My blend date was 6/23 but my status has not changed from in production. Ford chat has informed me that it should arrive at the dealer by 7/31. With the way this has gone, I can only think that my order will get stuck in this too.

How did we get here? (Rhetorical question, I KNOW how we got here). Uggghh

 

[Hordak]

Contacted Chat again just to see if I could get an update. This agent told me that it’s still at MAP with the last update if 06/28. Another a couple of days ago told me they didn’t have a rail car # but that it had left MAP. Seems like the right hand doesn’t talk to the left hand. I’m so sick of Ford and their inconsistencies.
