After build date, how long to receive at your dealer?

[rgalvinmi]

Once you receive the almighty GOLDEN TICKET that your Bronco is being built, on a particular week....how long before it is at your dealer? (I'm in Michigan, I know logistics = time).
My build week, is supposedly, the week of 9/20. Any idea on when it would arrive at my Michigan dealer? (asking as I will in Florida for a few weeks starting Oct 23rd) thanks!

Anytime between 1 week (NOT)and 6 months! When your order tracker moves to "Built", to "Shipped" with a date, then you can get hopeful. Those of us with MIC vehicles in Purgatory are used to waiting. Enjoy your trip to Florida.

Some of us have learned that "in production" means nothing!

I'm in the same boat. My blend date is 8/31, and getting from a metro detroit dealer. i'm hoping mid to late September, but really have no idea! A buddy had the same situation, but he's a Ford employee and he had it a week after the blend date.

It will arrive on 10/2 at 9:56 am. It will be mildly sunny with a little light rain.

Nobody "really has any idea!"

no set rule, depends on too many things, but the closer you are to the plant, the faster. If you get delivery on a truck it's faster than rail.
I'm in CA, my dealer told me today to expect 4-6 weeks via rail plus transporter, but somebody else at the dealer just got their's after about 3 weeks. If you know of others at your dealer that already got their Bronco, they could give you an average idea, but nothing is set in stone, I'm sure Ford packs each rail car or transporter until full and then with rail has to wait for the next available train to hang it to etc.

It should be fine, I don’t think the soft top leaks, yet.

mine was built June 16th and it took 5 weeks to get in my driveway. I am in Canada though but right on the Michigan border. By the sounds of it there were extra inspections on the MIC top (lol) that held it up too.

And don’t get excited once it ships. Mine has literally been sitting in a rail yard 90 miles from my house the past two weeks…

Ford has this antiquated way of shipping vehicles… I could’ve walked to Michigan and picked it quicker than the almost month it’s been en-route

As always "your Mileage will vary".

I'm in Indianapolis, the Dealer has delivered 3 so far. the average is 10-18 days and we are by truck here.
