The official, my dealer is a tool and won't tell me my rail car number.

[Missy_Fussy]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,
Ask your dealer first, some are really great about this!!!

Otherwise, hit this thread up. Either I or someone else will try to answer!!! Hack the planet...

Seriously, we are lucky that a few members of this forum can help with resolving where your Bronco might be. Any request that ends up here is fair game, if you know how to help out, feel free to do so. Sometimes, I get lucky and sometimes I need to ask people who have helped me before.

I don't want anyone to risk their reputations, livelihood, or anything else getting information out there. PLEASE, don't access data that you are not allowed to access or do anything illegal.

Let's work together to help our fellow enthusiasts out!

REMEMBER: VIN and ORDER NUMBER
Post them to the list and do not DM them to me!

Is posting my VIN safe?

That is for you to decide. It's not hard to get the VIN number for any particular vehicle. Your VIN number is publicly displayed everywhere you go on your vehicle... anytime you park, your VIN number is exposed to anyone who wants it. Hell, given the advancements in Satellite technology, I would be surprised if the damn things can't be read from orbit at this point.

Now, this is not supposed to be the primary way to get your rail car, this is a last resort when your dealer won't help you out. I even provide a number of links up front for people to do their own digging in the first post.

Now regarding VIN numbers:

ALL 2021 Bronco VINs start with either 1FMDE5 or 1FMEE5 (2 doors are always 1FMDE5)
So that takes care the first 6 locations
The 7th location is A, B, C, D, E, or F.
The 8th location is P or H.
The 9th location is 0 - 9 or X.
The 10th-12th locations are MLA or MLB
The last 5 locations are 00000-99999 (with large blocks of numbers excluded)
All two door FE's start with 2XXXX (and near as I can tell less than 1000 were built, so really 20XXX)
All four door FE's start with 4XXXX with 43250 near the highest I have seen.
Almost all production Bronco numbers start with MLA6XXXX-MLA9XXXX or MLB0XXXX.

So really, figuring out a VIN, not that hard. You are at best hiding 5 digits as a unique identifier, potentially a lot less, especially if I know your blend date.

Also, if I have your VIN, I can likely get your order number without much hassle either... These things are just publicly available and are not secret (although I know that people would prefer them to be - they just aren't).

What is the "load" number? I found my VIN on the United Rail link:

good morning, my friend and helper

VIN 1FMEE5BP0MLA77563
Order 5688
Blend 10/27 and built 10/28
shipped with est. delivery 11/29

NO built email from Ford
NO shipment email from Ford
the dealer has no clue where to find a rail-car ID

if you could get me a rail-car ID, I would gladly send you a box of chocolates, or better yet, offer you ride in my Bronco over the Million Dollar Highway!!

thank you very much!

 

[Wookiee]

Now this is some useful info, thank you in advance for any type of info you can provide on my wife’s Bronco…

 

[Blue's B6G]

Probably not building 2750 in the next 6 weeks... it will be interesting to see what the final numbers are

I think they’ve been building like 800 Broncos/Rangers a day at MAP, so that’s not a problem.

The dealers job is to sell cars to make a living. They are not tracking devices. You bronco will arrive when it arrives. Stop bothering them every minute. I never knew what rail car my bronco was on. And didn’t need to know. Logistics is a problem now. For all products.

you know Blitz, your opinion here is a reflection of Ford's missed opportunity to stay connected with (happy) customers. In today's modern age, you can order a toothbrush from Amazon and you will know every day of the week what is happening with your toothbrush order. But when you order a 50'000$ vehicle from Ford, you get treated like a nuisance, and then are told not to bother your dealer - there you go, another happy customer.

If Ford would wake up and modernize their IT, this would be a great experience!

Trying to figure out everything, cause I got a new baby in the NICU, she decided that she wanted to come before her delivery date and the Bronco, haha. Thankfully she is doing well. Thanks ahead of time for the info.

Hey congratulations on what I am sure is a beautiful baby girl! That really puts all the Bronco stuff into proper perspective.

 

[BigFootie]

@mpeugeot , Kudos to you for doing this. Mine will come by a non human driven EV truck by the time mine gets built!

Ugh I’ll bite. My dealer wouldn’t be able find water on a globe (salesman claimed didn’t know what a DORA was - true story).

VIN: 1FMEE5DP2MLA90666
Order: 0532

 

[Kos]

MLA42350 - Your rail car is TTGX996837

Everyone else is still pending additional research

Car was loaded and departed on 11/3

I show the car in Gibson, IN on the CSX as of 4 pm yesterday.

Destination is a NS auto ramp facility outside of Kansas City (although it’s on foreign rail so my info isn’t always accurate)

 

[Colorado145]

My sales guy is out of town for the next week so he is no help. Got the shipped email two days ago.
VIN: 1FMEE5BP1MLA77555
Order #: 2349

Thank you!

 

[Jake@BoldCityMotorsport]
