Colorado Group Buy with Granger

[OctopusWrangler]

Is it too late to move the reservation and join the CO group buy? Seems like a lot of other AZ residents have done the same, picking up in CO is a lot easier than IA and I am beyond unhappy with the AZ dealers and ready to move to Granger. Thanks.
I'm already looking at a 2022 build so I would not be stepping on any 2021 toes.

Reach out to Granger directly and see what they say. If you are a 2022 should be a problem but I'm honestly not 100% sure.

I spoke to Ford today, I cannot move the reservation until the 2022 order banks open up but am free to do so once they do open up. The person I spoke said they should know when they will open in the next week or so. She stressed soon, very soon.

I've updated the original post to reflect the updated shipping estimate of $500 (increase from $425) and added that there is now a pre-arranged drop-off location in Lone Tree, CO.

Who is everyone using for shipping? I finally received a delivery window of July 6-12 and have been quoted $1000 for delivery. Anyone else shipping in that time frame? Suggestions?

I was going to try to ship with others, but mine isn't coming in until the 10th (my birthday!) and it seemed like everyone else was getting theirs sooner, so I *just* booked two tickets on Frontier from Denver to Des Moines for the 21st for $167.96 (total). Granger likes you to wait and make sure the truck gets there and isn't damaged, but I didn't want to pass up that deal. No carry-on in the price - just a bag that fits under the seat. I'll be traveling light. Will need the rest of my budget for gas, I suppose.

Good luck. There may be others in that timeframe, but I don't know of any.

Can't beat that price! I did not want to ship as a "one off" as I have heard some horror stories. May have to hop on Frontier.
Thanks

Yep, but shoot Hunter or Samantha an email first. I think they need a week or so to prep your vehicle. Just want to make sure it's ready when you show up

Taking a gamble are you? If this works out, you should skip CO, drive straight to Vegas, and place some bets. Keep that winning streak alive.

It's sitting in Omaha right now. The 10th (that's the last day on the tracker and what Ford chat confirmed today) is three weeks away, and I'm adding another eleven days for Granger to look it over.

Barring hail storms , monsoons , floods , tornadoes , hurricanes , earthquakes , sink holes, train fires, trailer fires, theft, Acts of God , and Acts of the Devil, my Bronco *should* be able to make it safely to Granger, Iowa in the next month .

Who knows, the airlines may even get it together by then.

I know how these things go. I'm not counting on any of this happening at avalanche speed.

Well if yours is not ready - maybe you can drive mine back!
How do you know it is in Omaha?

The instructions for tracking by rail are in the 6/6 Build Week thread (and probably other places on this forum).

Here's the post: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/06-06-22-build-week-group.42447/post-1366686

Scroll down a bit to where it says, "If you are going by rail, it’s more complicated…". It's all explained there.

Granger can give you the railcar number and from there it's just a matter of calling the CSX 1-800-235-2352 number and going through voice messaging.

Mine went from Wayne, MI to Gibson, IN to Kansas City, MO to Omaha, NE. I call every morning, but since it's so close to Granger now, I figure it will just be sitting there for a few weeks until it gets loaded on a tractor trailer.
