Morning campers....I happily slept through the Raptor launch, so I guess I need to check that out. Good? Bad?

First thing I did after making coffee was call CSX

My Bronco is in Louisville, KY as of 3:40 this morning.

I think merging the Raptor and the Bronco is a mistake. Like merging the Ford Escape with the Bronco. FoMoCo is just trying to capitalize on the names.

Oh I know, but even if they would have keep Warthog I still wouldn't have liked it.

I don't like it overall, but like everything else there are those who love it and those who hate it.

I like the Bronco Raptor idea, I dont like the marketing though. I think it should have been just called the Bronco Warthog and nothing to do with the Raptor Name.

Coffee.. what was your brew today?

Thomas the Conductor seems to move fast heading south. it is the east west he is slow with.. I think gravity might be pulling the train more one direction that the other. I think that is how it works..

Welp… Pizza tracker says my estimated delivery is today, but I’m still showing “In Production” with no shipping info on Palsapp.

Let’s see if it magically shows up today or if I’m still in purgatory.

Nice Coffee choice.. I am not sure what I had.
The wife decided to surprise me and create a new Coffee Bar in the breakfast room.
That is all fine and dandy, but I am who is up at 4AM making the coffee and nothing was where it was supposed to be and I don't like going 15 feet between the prep process.
Also, I do not like changes or surprises.
I had a Nespresso purple pod thingy.. whatever that was.. it was good enough.
I should be grateful instead of spiteful, but I am old.. and don't care..

nopers. calling dealer first thing tomorrow morning. i have no clue who how this process works and need someone to explain it to me like I'm 6.

From my perspective the vehicle was offloaded from rail car on Jan 19 so I don't know why it hasn't been delivered. I thought dealer just had to call United Road to pick it up. It's been ~5 days so I'm missing something.

I need to know what variables are involved to get the vehicle loaded on truck, and under what conditions must occur for it to happen.

For example does CSX have to schedule pick up time with United Road or vice versa? or can United Road just go pick up when they want? or does my dealer have to coordinate the pickup with CSX? United road? or both? What is the current holdup? CSX backlog? Lack of workers b/c of covid? etc..

I am in the same boat....mine has been in the rail lot since 1/16!

I have a Nespresso for the occasional super strong shot of espresso. I enjoy it. Currently out of pods though

Here's the list of people that confirmed they were in for the last to be delivered gift. If we do $10 each, it'll be ~$270 available to buy something. If anyone was thinking of a different number, let me know. Gift wise the ideas so far have been booze or some accessory either from Ford or a 3rd party (such as the cargo hooks). If anyone has other ideas for the gift, let me know. I think the next step will be trying to settle on something before collecting any actual money.

No no no. Don't think that. Keep your heads up everyone.. my wife is thinking we will not get ours tues, lol.. but im staying optimistic along with everyone else!!!

My optimism passed along with my delivery date….I’m hoping you get yours on Tuesday though!!!

 

[nfearno34]

Lol so I don't get what is different between this site and the ford .com website? Maybe I'm missing something. But it shows the same thing on both sites. Either way, if it's showing other people more information best of luck!!!

Maybe our broncos are lost together because mine also shows pretty much the exact same info as the pizza tracker?

we recently upgraded from the pods to the capsules.
Now I want a way to refill my capsules with the coffee of my choice.

Apparently a 4 Door Bronco is a merged Ford Flex & 2Dr Bronco (according to some on this forum)

 

[daddycreswell]

I haven’t tried yet. But I think the front panels can come off while the roof rack is on. I’ll update you once I look into it.

I figured that you could remove the front panels no problem, I was talking about the rear portion.
