South Carolina Orders

[AJKitebrder40]

I ordered originally in July '21 with Walterboro Ford, then again in October when it transferred over. 4 dr EG Badlands, MIC, 2.3 manual. At this point, it's probably going to be a vehicle they can sale when it's built because I'm building out my JLR. I'll definitely go down there and give the Bronco and honest go, and with used car prices the way they are, who knows I may end up with a fairly even swap if I decide to get the Bronco.

I really like both vehicles, my neighbor has a Big Bend Bronco and we have hit some easy trails in Francis Marion, it sticks right with my JLR.

I put my Reservation and order in via Tidelands Ford on 7/12/21. Outer Banks, 2.7L, Carbonized Gray, Navy Pier Cloth, Tow, Hard top, High Package and Black wheels. Sounds like its going to be a while so I guess I can save up for the down payment (silver lining?). Have any fellow hard-toppers been offered the Hardtop conversion kit if they switch to a soft top?

Hi there, I’m in NY, I placed my reservation at tidelands Sept 3. My friend here in NY placed his order here in NY in December, (both ordered Black Diamond, no tow, soft top)and he had a build week 2/28. He just received his Ford notification it’s in transit to his dealership. John is who I placed my order with and doesn’t offer any insight as to why that happened. However my bigger concern is that when I sign into my Ford account it says I have no existing orders with Ford. I have received an email forwarded by Tidelands from Ford with the “Congratulations your “order” was placed”. When I asked John about that he says when he looks my order up I am “Scheduled/clean”. My questions are have you received any emails from Ford? When you went on fords website, did you ever have issues with seeing your existing order and do you have any issues with Tidelands? Sorry for the loaded question I’m just so afraid I am waiting for nothing… thank you!

I placed my order for a 4 door Badlands/Sasquatch with high package and hard top on 3/8/22. at Palmetto Ford in Charleston. I am prepared for a long wait but hopefully it will sometime this year. Anyone else order their Bronco from Palmetto?

If you had a reservation, it should have showed up on your Ford account immediately. If youonly placed an order without getting a reservation first from Fird.com, then it won’t show up on your account I think until it’s been scheduled. My reservation is on my Ford account, my ‘walk in’ orders are not.

I’m sorry, I didn’t have a reservation, I made a walk in order in September, I received a confirmed order email from Ford on Sept 8th. When I call the Ford customer service number they see my order. When I log into my Ford account and look for existing orders it says I don’t have any. I have spoken with that Customer service number weekly asking if I have a vin yet. Ford can’t fix my account issue and my dealer says he can’t fix it. So on your walk in order with dealer you don’t see your order on your account. Right?
do you have a Bronco order with Tidelands?

I do not have an order with Tidelands. So yeah, since you didn’t have a reservation, you won’t see it in your first account until it’s been scheduled. Once it’s been scheduled, you should get an email from Ford saying so.

Thank you so much for replying to me, I really appreciate it. So just for kicks can you give me your best guess on when you think I might get scheduled. My order was placed Sept 3,2021. 4 door, Black Diamond, hard top, modular bumper/brush guard , green.

It looks like you have been in the game a while so I thought you may have a better guess than me. My friend ordered same build with 2door here in NY, in December and picked his up last week I know you don’t really know but would you give me your educated guess? Thank you

Yeah, been here for a little bit, but I honestly couldn’t tell you when to expect your Bronco. At this point all we have is hope that it will eventually show up one day.

Ha! So true, I have said a few times, “ I just hope I’m not waiting for nothing”! Lol
Good luck my friend! Hope you see the rainbow soon! What is your build?

Keeping it simple with a 2 door base. I did buy some Black Diamond steelies/tires and the BD rock rails. Good luck to you as well.

Any suggestions on who I should talk to at Walterboro Ford? I prefer to talk to an experienced salesperson, Bronco expert, etc. - anyone other than an inexperienced yahoo who'll say anything, and be off to the next job in a couple months.

Walterboro Ford is great. Robbie was my sales guy (sales mgr). I wouldn't call him incredibly knowledgeable about Bronco and the specifics of ordering, as he said, we on these forums know more than they do anyway, which is true. But he's a good guy, which I appreciated. Was upfront and honest about everything, including invoice pricing, which is about unheard of with Broncos. I was very stressed day of picking up, but it was all for naught. Couldn't recommend them more, honestly.

 

[bandit67]

Thanks! I'll ask for Robbie.

Has anyone received an order from Walterboro Ford yet? I'm guessing they are pretty low on allocation. My original reservation was July 18, 2021, ordered then and again in October (for '22). I'm guessing I'll be on the '23 order list soon, - 4 Dr. Badlands Non-SAS, manual, 2.3L, modular bumper, MIC.
