Pics- Bronco Soft-tops Corralled at MAP

[PecOBX]

Interesting thread - thanks for the initial sleuthing work. On shipping, I have been MIA since July 19 and I find it hard to believe in over 40 days they havent built 50 Broncos destined for the eastern PA region. Not sure how large of an area we are talking about but I live just outside Philadelphia so between SE Pa, Del and Southern NJ its seems hard to believe they do not have enough trucks built to make a shipment. And I assume one full set of rail cars to make a trip can include rangers - which would make things even harder to swallow.

I have been hearing that more and more lately. I can't help but wonder if that is why I have heard nothing from Ford about my 08/16 build date soft top. We are getting close to 3 weeks, so I am starting to think it is not a shipping issue.

I been waiting since 7/14 and no updates from Ford. I starting to think I’ll never get mine…

Brutal. Any temptation to throw in the towel?

Went to MAP last week to see what was actually happening outside. Not much.

Lots full of soft top 4-doors and Rangers.

Transporters at NE corner of plant with only Rangers and Bronco Sports:

A few Broncos and Rangers driving into this lot and being parked with 1000 others.

Only 1 Transporter left in 90 minutes- 5 Rangers, 1 Bronco BB.

Thousands of soft tops sitting around MAP, and barely any being shipped. Why?

All I know is since they can't get my BRONCO built for probably another 6-12 months.....hopefully they get my Ranger Tremor built and shipped so it's here by Thanksgiving>Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

I got an update at 4am this morning. Hopefully this isn’t a glitch!

I'll add that user cbiggs had his ship to Chapman of Horsham, PA and deliver this past week as an 8/13 blend. I'm 8/6 and your even earlier.

Well given thats about 30 minutes from me so much for the idea that Ford has been holding the trucks while waiting to fully load railcars for this region.

Exactly. I was told multiple times that I'm holding for transport but later builds to the same dealer get delivered. Not shipped... delivered. It's ridiculous.

I too have an 8/16 soft top build that has been stuck in production according to the pizza tracker. What's the status of your build? Still in production?

I've been reading on the various bronco groups that a lot of the soft tops are leaking inside down the A pillars..

Soft tops often leak a little. I believe that’s pretty common. Surely they’re not holding onto them for that.

This thread has me thinking I should wait until shipping to secure my auto loan financing (!)

100%. I would wait until it's delivered since you only have 30 days on the credit run.

Speaking of shipping by rail. Is there a way to track your Bronco that's shipped by rail? PALSAPP doesn't work for my VIN.

Yep, get the railcar number from your dealer
