Yeah, trucks are backed up, as you know. Seems people are getting it faster via rail.
That was the entire rail time from MI to AZ. It sat a few days in Illinois somewhere transferring to a westbound train but made it here fairly quick overall.
Call your dealer, get the train car number in your vehicle order report and you can follow the instructions here:
Gotcha. Ya I'm going to So IL and it went from Michigan to Cincinnati to Louisville to Nashville and now it's stuck there for the last 9 days. Logistically, this has been the worst experience...
What the dealer sees in their system and what is actually happening could be worlds apart.
So my dealer won't give me the rail information (not sure if he won't or doesn't know how) so I'm basically going in blind literally every direction. Before the Ford Performance site stopped giving a ton of info out, he informed me last week it was in Nashville on 10/17. It's torture not knowing anything as we've reserved this a year and a half ago. It's even worse knowing that i could have walked to go get it, since I'm in IL, faster than they can deliver it lol on top of the mandatory 1500 delivery fee...What the dealer sees in their system and what is actually happening could be worlds apart.
My dealer actually still saw the vehicle in Illinois when he finally figured out how to give me the rail car number. Once I had that, I had the real status (it was delivered to the local yard an hour prior) and had my Bronco a few days later.
Dont rely on your dealers for this stuff.. they've had no actual training and no one really cared previous to the Bronco. Your Bronco may just be sitting at the local yard like mine was, waiting on a ride.
Ive had my Badlands for I think 4 days, and it still shows an expected delivery in a week.
I know, I was telling someone its like 3.5 hrs from me and there it sits. I used to run a Ford dealership so I know the drill, its just annoying. The place yours is from can do a vehicle visibility trace and see where its at. I know mines sitting at the plant waiting for a truck.
Dollars to donuts, your dealer has no clue where to find the rail info which is why they won't hand it over. I finally told my dealer I had a way to track it outside their system and that's when he was willing to go through the order line by line looking for what could be a railcar number. My guy was the head sales manager and even he hadn't dealt with it before.
I would agree. Being a GM of a Ford dealer for 20+ years, I was in the minority of people that knew how to use most of the info on the fmcdealer website.
Congrats, Hero, glad you got it! My OBX was Blended 7/22, MIC wait, Shipped 10/8, and I picked it up at dealer Oct. 21 here in SC. The MIC top is flawless, and works well!
I LOVE that color.
