Michigan To Arizona Rail Delivery Timeline?

[TaiKoi]

Anyone from Arizona who has gotten their Bronco already know/remember what the timeline is from it being loaded on the train in Michigan to getting dropped off at the rail yard in AZ? Also how long did yours sit at the rail yard?

I've been hearing estimates from 5-7 days to get to AZ from MI and then also heard 12-15 days.
Heard anything from 2-10 days at the rail yard.

I'm from northern Arizona and have a bunch of high school buddies that still live there. One works at a dealership as a manager. I was going to buy my Bronco from him but ended up not working out (yay allocations).

Usually it is 3-4 weeks. Lately shipping times have been varying wildly due to the gigantic backlog at the Port of Los Angeles. Train cars have been sitting for an unusually long amount of time in the rail yards because there simply isn't enough physical space for them at the port in California. The last shipment took almost 9 weeks. But hopefully now that the holidays are over things will be closer to the usual 3-4 weeks.

I live in Tempe and got my Bronco about 3 weeks ago via Rail. From the time it got put on the rail, it took about 9 days to be delivered to the dealer. Hope this helps.

Took 15 days to get to the railyard, and then sat at El Mirage for 4 days. If I recall correctly, it was 19 days from ship date until it arrived at the dealer.

I’m an 11/29 build week, with a 12/2 blend date, shipped email received 12/5. Today is 1/5 and I still don’t have my bronco. I really think the holidays interfered with mine because my rail car sat in Houck AZ from 12/22-12/29. My rail car finally arrived in El Mirage (the final destination) on 12/30 and my dealer is aware it’s sitting there, but he has not received notice of a truck coming to deliver it.

SO CLOSE! Let's get that Bronco to its new home!

Thanks for all the responses so far! Sounds like 9-15 days is a decent estimate + a few days at the rail yard in El Mirage

Also in Tempe. Haven’t seen yours but my neighbor has a VB 2 door Wildtrak and I’ve seen a few others in town. Also tested this one from Earnhardt for an hour or so…

Trucking from the rail yard is a bigger issue that rail travel time.

My Bronco has been sitting at a Chicago rail yard since 8:20pm on 1/2/2022. Estimated delivery is 1/9 - 1/15.

That seems too long to be accurate. Hopefully you just get a surprise call from your dealer saying it's there

I can only hope that is the case.

bump. Since the beginning of the thread, how have AZ bound (or west coast) transit times been?
My AZ bound shipped on 9/28 and my dealer said a few days ago it should be in "in a couple weeks"

It takes a solid 2-3 weeks from MAP to Arizona dealer.
