The train car was empty Sunday, January 23, so I assume it's waiting for a truck or already on a truck heading to Granger.

Pizza tracker initially showed an estimated delivery date of 02/07, but on Friday it changed to 02/03. I'm hoping the new date sticks, because this coming weekend is likely the only chance I have to fly out to Iowa for the next month or so.

A load arrived at Granger on 1/27. Are you sure your Bronco wasn't on it?
Granger didn't contact me until 1/29 for paperwork, so use the VIN-based tracker for best update. PDI seems to be slow. My railcar was empty on 1/20.

Is the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking Home site working for anyone? I have tried weekend and all day, put in order # and VIN then it goes back to the same page. Tried deleting cache/cookies etc, 2 different browsers and from my phone, all the same

I an also "In Production" since 12/20/21. No built or shipped notification, Dealer says it was built 1/3/22. WS has 12/22/21 blend date. Not shipped yet? Is there confirmation that Broncos are getting delivered w/o a built or shipped notification??? How many are also at table 9 / purgatory????

A bit behind, but working.
Try a different browser or clear you cache.

I spotted a base bronco on Saturday, and the wheels didn't look as bad as I expected. I saw another one yesterday parked, but couldn't tell what trim it was from my view.

I think a TSB just got released for that!

Off topic a bit, but has anyone figured out a solution for a front license plate bracket that will work for the capable bumper? I recall discussion along these lines at some point but you maniacs have managed to run this thing to 687 pages and I'm not a young man...Seems like Cat maybe mentioned a fix??

I think what's the most absurd is that my family has a personal relationship with the dealership. My mom worked directly for the owner for 15 years. But my mom is also a teacher now and I haven't been able to get ahold of her until about 20 minutes ago.

The dealership has always been one of the most reputable and honest I've known. My family has purchased a number of vehicles from them before- 3 myself.

Anyway. I finally got ahold of my mom (Yeah I'm gonna be 30 and ran to my momma) who was able to get ahold of the owner and according to her he's furious. We've never known him to conduct business that way and he's in complete shock that his sales people are forcing individuals to buy the package or lose their vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up firing my sales person and the management.

I'll let you know how it plays out. I'm going to head down there this afternoon. I'll upload pics. Thanks for the love guys.

Ohhhhhh I love a good story about justice. We've been waiting too long for these damn things to have dealers jerk our chains at the last minute like that.

Holy crap that's a lot of broncos sitting. Welcome to ice mountain. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/broncos-galore-visited-holding-yard.35385/

If anyone has to call Norfolk Southern instead of CSX to track their train, the commas in the number to automate the whole call is a little different than CSX. Here's the template:

1-800-635-5768,,,,,,2,,,8849#,,,XXXXXX#,,,,,1

8849 is if your rail car starts with TTGX, and just replace the set of X's with your number.

mine started on CSX and then transferred to BNSF, and even when it's been on BNSF, the CSX # will still report the location. did CSX start the journey.

I'm looking at United Roads tracking and saw this status. I'd be furious if mine was supposed to be loaded up and got left behind, lol.

Mine started with NFS. The train yard in NOLA is NFS, so I assume it won't transfer.

That is horrible. I still really don’t understand why some get chips and some don’t. It is so random. Shouldn’t the first built dates get the chips and then they hold production

My only thought has been maybe the chips are installed far down the line, and if a Bronco gets pulled for QC or an issue, that's addressed and then they get a chip when available. But who knows.

Some Quality issues still recurring with hood dents, snakeskin on MIC tops and panel gap alignments:

Yeah I took a flash light with me and parked it in the shade so I can see if there were any weird light deflections since I know the hood dents were a recurring thing. Luckily I'm good.
