Table of 9, I almost wonder if we don’t need to organize a call to Ford Customer Service to discuss our entrées and desert options…..

Seeing as how it’s been a month since my blend date, I should probably be looking into a meal plan.

Heading out to pick my baby. Still have an hour drive a head. Hope no surprises when I get there. Any last words of wisdom?

Agreed!

Yours truly,

A soon-to-be owner of a 2-door EG classic build

i wish i could say "soon to be" with any confidence, but i'll be right there with you, green manny 2 door

I literally have only seen 1 in my town.

I can't tell if that's better or worse. Living so close to MAP means theres soft tops galore, but theres one rapid red, murdered out Badlands hard top near me that always makes me double take.

So, got a call from my dealer; good news/bad news, he said: Bronco has arrived, but there’s transport damage to the hood and grill. So basically this vehicle I’ve waited 1.5 years on has already been in an accident. Plus obviously can’t go get her today, so the frickin’ wait goes on.

Thankfully, the damage appears minor, cosmetic, and easy to fix: a dent in the hood and a broken grille. Dealer’s service manager is gonna look at it on Monday when he’s in. My hope is that they can fix the dent easily, make sure there’s no additional damage, and order a new grille. Then I can sign and drive until the new grille comes in.

What y’all think?

So I downloaded the Ford Pass application and entered the VIN of my future Bronco. Sure enough, it was able to find the Bronco. The problem is you have to confirm the addition on the screen. Can't track it yet. Who knows where the Bronco is, but it's alive.

So sorry to hear this. Please keep us posted.

super frustrating, but definitely looks like minor / cosmetic damage. i'd get them to give you some money off for that (they may balk as they can turn around and sell it for more if you don't take the car, but worth asking).

If I give you my VIN would your Friend of a Friend help out a fellow table 9er?!?! Been built for a month, the dagger was driver deeper today when my dealer started taking delivery of 22MY Broncos with a 1/7 Blend, which I wait on my 12/21 Blend. “It’s waiting on a truck” is not what is going on here.

My dealer has taken delivery of three broncos since the blend date of ours.

Way to knock the wind out of your sails That sucks, Im sorry that happened. Atleast, as you said, looks like minor cosmetic, but still a bummer to see that your baby got banged around. I wonder how that happens. You’d think they’d get strapped down pretty good.

Yeah, who knows. I feel like they dropped a ramp or big bar or something on it when they were unloading it

Yeah, I thought about that, but if it's purely cosmetic and they can fix it promptly, I probably won't raise a stink. It's not the dealer's fault, and definitely not the salesman's fault (who makes his living off of commissions, I assume). I just wanna get in writing that they'll take responsibility for fixing it, ordering the new grille, etc...and then FINALLY get my dang Bronco home!

Will do...I have to say that Maxwell has been good through all of this. Even before this happened, they committed to MSRP (as they have for folks who already picked their rides up from them). They're saying that they'll be all over the repairs first thing Monday when the service dept. opens. So hopefully it'll all be ok and I'll be able to pick it up (with broken grille) late next week.

I do plan on going out there on Monday to see the damage in person, and to talk to the service guy. Plus it's a good opportunity to do the 198-point inspection compiled by @Cat. I'll keep ya posted.

Any updates on your train car?

Just picked up my Bronco! I’m absolutely loving it so far.
