🛠 12/20/21 Build Week Group

[RyanP]

My dealer just sent me this. Looks like it is to be built from the 23rd to the 29th?? I guess....

Chapman sent me the same thing earlier today. It's my understanding that this means that it has been built and the delivery window is 1/23 - 1/29.

I tried again this am for you. I’d call your dealership.

Thanks for looking!

Bugging my dealer again is one thing I've decided I will not be doing. I'm sunk into this crazy process due to B6G, but I should really just wait patiently and go with the estimate I've been given. Ford tells me 1/22 and dealer says they should see it before the end of the month. I'll come back and bug them if it's not here by February.

Here's today's daily Purgatory Party Sad Song:

Where oh where, can my WildTrak be?

Five hundred and fifty- five days
Obsessing over a truck in so many ways.

Yeah, we laid our money down,
We're waitin' for our Broncos to come around.

Although long, the wait is not for naught
Just look at the Bronco goodies we all bought.

We scour the web for cool things to add,
We track data till we're stark, raving mad.

We soak up Bronco knowledge like a sponge,
And when the Dealer calls, we'll take the final plunge.

Yeah, we'll lay more money down,
When our Broncos finally come around.

Where oh where, can my WildTrak be?

I got something similar from my dealer. His interpretation was that I’m built, but waiting to be shipped. He thinks the 1/31-2/6 is the current estimated ship date. (Not the delivery date…) I can only assume I’m waiting for a part or QC check before it ships.

Table of 9, what's for lunch today?

Shipping 5-6 weeks AFTER production starts.....seems crazy.

I think today's special is more let down and disappointment?

Thanks. I had gone back and read those communications too, but sounds like I may be out of luck since I had it on my build sheet sent to the dealer but the dealer forgot to add it as a no-cost option to my order and I missed it when I confirmed the order. I had gone back and looked as my paperwork and the rebate wasn't $495, so the plot thickens.

I also have this problem. My salesperson actually called Ford while I was there, and after holding and having the customer service person check for 20-30 minutes, they just told him to, "contact your Ford rep." He rightfully responded, "Yep, thanks, I knew that response was coming 15 minutes ago." I get it; I remember at Radio Shack it was always the same when calling the cellular carriers -- they respond much better to customers; franchise stores are second fiddle, LOL.

I EXPLICITLY asked my dealer to order the headliner, even though I have MGV and washout floors. I'm not going to use a fire hose in the damn thing -- I think I can keep the ceiling dry LOL. However, the stupid Ford system would not ALLOW him to add it to the build sheet. He tried, and he even showed me the monitor. It's not your fault or the dealer's fault, the Ford ordering system DID NOT allow MGV/washout to be ordered with the headliner, PERIOD. You have to have carpet on the floor to have it in the roof, I guess? Seems dumb.

My salesperson found a couple headliners on the Accessory site -- he said there were options for "with port" and "without port" or something like that?? But, he couldn't figure out how to get that ordered "gratis" per the e-mail. He even found on the Ford system where it said, "Customers will be sent an announcement in the week of March 21st; no action is required of the dealer." Yeah, no action required if you just renege out on the agreement LOL!!

As a minor side note which may or may not be related, I ordered the $100 rear cargo carpet with the velcro thingies, and that was missing. The order sheet my dealer printed clearly doesn't include it... However, there's a $100 disparity in price, and the Window Sticker has it.

Methinks Ford's ordering system being all jacked up is the main issue here; I'm going to call Ford this afternoon and check in with them on these things and see if they have anything to add. My guess is not much, but can't hurt to try.

The only reason I don't believe Table 9 bronco's are built is the fact my/our mods still have not popped. I also tried to check the status of my Sync4 software and it says my vehicle does not have this option, which means it's not programed at all yet.

Maybe that is when they are expecting whatever "part/chip" to be available and finish the build? Kind of fits with my timeline I posted yesterday of when I expect Table 9 to get some movement.

Waiting for that one windshield wiper that I knew was going to be a constraint...

Salad with some grilled chicken.

I'm in the same boat as you also getting mine from Chapman, and it showed pending pickup since Saturday and still has an estimating delivery date of Monday January 17th, but has yet to be delivered

Just got another United delivery receipt email that some more Bronco's made it to Chapman, maybe yours was in the bunch too

I'm not sure if this means I need to leave table 9 and go sit by myself and think about what I've done, but my mods have been up for some time and my Sync4 appears to be up to date. I think (and hope) that I'm just waiting for a train or better yet already on one and that the EDD window still holds.

It was the second rear tow hook!
