Ha ha, that's a great story so thanks for sharing it - snd the angst you felt. That would have been maddening.
I think you are right Mike. I think the window sticker will say CONVOY if the Bronco wasn't loaded directly to rail at the plant.
That's bang on. I emailed my dealer and he said my Bronco is now in a railyard in Vancouver and waiting for a transport truck to bring it to the Island. He couldn't give me a date on when that would happen (!) and although he didnt come out and say it (and I didn't press the issue), his vagueness of when it is going to ferry across makes me suspect it is sitting there perhaps because of some backlog induced by the Infotainment stop sell recall currently in effect; the rationale being they are not going to burden dealers with a fresh influx of 26s until they can get their current ones fixed, but who knows? Mine rolled off the line on Feb 24, some two weeks past the build date of those affected by the recall - and my VIN shows no outstanding recalls - so perhaps its just a victim of bad timing when it comes to making the final leg of this journey. Or perhaps, I'm just too impatient.
I don't know what the car market is like in BC, but last year in Alberta there were so many vehicles coming in that car-haulers were working flat out. There was no way to leave units in the rail yard, and the dealer I bought the Badlands from was renting storage all over the city. They were very keen in us taking delivery ASAP.That's bang on.

If I can give you any advice, it would be to ignore the tracker site. It’s wildly unreliable. Last year, I ordered mine on March 14th and took delivery on July 31st. You just need to be patient. When it arrives, they will let you know.
