CALLING ALL GRANGTOBER ORDER PLACERS

[mmorgan]

@runfastdontstop yeah that makes sense on it being anticlimactic. We're all expecting a parade and celebration and they're going to be like, sir there's 50 people waiting behind you. Please move along.

Now that deserves a star for your humor!

Not to mention that I'm sure Zach would love to be running thru all these Grangetober orders that fast and be done with us!

How closely did you track your Bronco when it was on CSX? Do you know how long it sat in Omaha before making the last leg of the journey to Granger? And how long was it at Granger before you were given the go ahead to come get it?

My railcar arrived in Omaha on 4/5. The CSX status was changed to "empty released by customer" on 4/8 (not sure if that means is was unloaded into the yard, or released from the yard on a truck). Shelby emailed me on 4/13 saying it was at Granger and ready to be picked up.

Is that when you started the paperwork, on the 13th, or were you contacted before then to get started?

They had been in contact in the weeks leading up to then with their multi-step process to get initial info, any trade info, etc. But the actual "paperwork" (purchase agreement, etc.) started when they let me know the Bronco was at the dealership.

Thank you for giving me a little hope! Hahaha

Any new Grangetober deliveries recently? Or anyone else just feeling the passage of time slow to a crawl as the trains make their roundabout path towards Granger? This thread has been quiet for a bit. Would love to see if anyone has had anything exciting happen! (And if you got yours how did it play out, etc)

My Grangetober arrived yesterday and tracking now says in final prep. So close…!

What was your production date?

My Everglades has been in production since March 8th... haven't gotten a update since.. No one knows what's going on.

Just received email No. 1 from Financing Dept. today. stating 45 days and don't book travel (currently in or near Omaha). Has anybody waiting that long? I would like to book my tix soon as it's read and not have pay astronomical prices for my one way.

Original build date was April 3rd.

Maybe by Christmas...

I got this email as well. According to Ford’s tracker my Bronco is shipped with an estimated arrival date between 5/13 and 5/26.

If available with your airline, you can book a refundable ticket, and just move the date. Alaska offers this.

I did this for my flight and booked a refundable hotel as well. Hoping for MDW but based on what people are saying in here that seems unlikely.

Mine is also in Omaha.

 

[BadazzBronco]

Mine is in Omaha as well. According to Ford's tracker, it was shipped 4/15.
I called Ford yesterday...again... they said to expect delivery to Granger 5/6...

The anticipation is worse now than when I reserved back in 2020

They gave you a specific day that it would be delivered?
