Hopefully my bronco wasn't on that train. I has a May 12th blend date. When I emailed the dealership I was told it should arrive mid-late June. I live in the Phoenix area.

When something like this happens does Ford replace your ordered vehicle right away or are you SOL and have to get to the back of the line?

I see a priority code 10 in someone’s future.

In related news, Ford announces price increases for select F150 and Transit models.

Mine arrived at El Mirage on Monday…. If the tracking was accurate, I just missed this by a few days.

This was just east of Williams, west of Flag and headed west. Not bound for ElMirage. These were headed to SoCal.

In one of the photos, there is like car junkyard nearby. I am wondering about possible connections.

Weirdly, this happened about three miles from where KC Hilites are made.

I would assume they would attempt to re-make the vehicle ASAP but the timeline could def months and months again

I have no special insight into Ford but.... if I were a C-Level Ford person, I'd want to get the revenue I projected for next quarter fixed ASAP. Therefor, start pulling 1/2 and 3/4 built trucks that are sold OUT to get the cash IN.

Maybe why I never got far in business.

B6G “Investigator” #1: “As long as the air bags didn’t deploy, it won’t be totaled.”

B6G “Investigator” #2: “Buy the vehicle back from salvage for pennies on the dollar and make it a dedicated off-road toy.”

B6G “Investigator” #3: “Check the tie rods. If they’re undamaged, I could use some spares.”

#4 : "Any good 4dr hard tops make it through?"

" I could use some Badlands MGV seats with that sweet embossed Bronco emblem in my 69 Bronco!!!"

The way it is supposed to work, is your dealer enters a new order. They then call their Zone Rep who escalates your Build Priority to Priority 1, which puts you are the beginning of the next available build slot.

It could have been El Mirage bound too. Trains go along I-40 to Ash Fork and then head south down the hill to Phoenix from there.

If my ordered Bronco was on that, I'd go off the rails.
