Great!! Was this their own truck like they were trying to do, or the "regular" truck? Damn, I hope mine got picked up!
I would love to know what Ford's reasoning is on the whole ordering fiasco is.Sounds a bit like survivors guiltno need to feel bad, like you said it's a lottery. Hell, I feel bad that I placed my order in August of '21 and have a scheduled build date. I feel bad for complaining about my order being stuck in production, but it's not on us. The whole scheduling and building process is a mess at Ford.
It really makes no sense. I was fully prepared to wait a year to get scheduled and was looking at other cars. I currently only have my C5 corvette, and with a 7 month old that doesn't really work out. My wife is stuck with daycare duties since she's not comfortable driving a manual and can't take my vette. When I got scheduled i decided to hold off on purchasing anything because it doesn't make sense to buy anything for just a couple of months. Now i have no idea what to do.
Well, i'm glad yours is rolling east...
I sure hope it is! With my luck they loaded up his other cars and forgot the big blue bronco, LOL. I will believe it when he said it has arrived, lol.
I think the best option would be to use an Ouija Board.
Never feel bad for being excited, I am excited for you all!It's literally such a lottery
Who's your dealer in Charlotte?Sounds a bit like survivors guilt
Gorgeous collection! Its reall hard to let go of cars with sentimental value. Best one is the Bronco, IMO!! <teasin'ya!>Pic 1:
Wife excited to get her Bronco. (1.14.22) 18 MONTHS TO THE DAY from original reservation (7.14.20)

3.5 car (all space utilized!!!)
- 2020 JLU Wrangler Rubicon
- 2012 JKU Wrangler Sahara
- 2007 Land Rover LR3 HSE
- 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch
*Not shown and Notes:
- Bronco beadlock beauty rings powder coated black to match wheels (looks fantastic) at local shop (they also did rims on LR3 over 4 years ago and Rubicon 1.5 years ago - great work VERY AFFORDABLE prices)
- She LOVES it (originally on the “Let’s flip it once we get it as we have 2 kids starting college this fall and one more only 3.5 years away from the same!!!“…has since changed her mind on that one)
- Still waiting on some steps to help out the entry/exit (would have LOVED the new Raptor bolt-on-rock rail ones but of course….not available)
- Still waiting on roof rack kit from Ford (would have LOVED to simply add it during the build but of course…not an option)
- Would love to find out where to get affordable Bronco script badges now that Ford has shut everyone down with their cease and desist messages
- Bronco rides, drives, sounds, feels COMPLETELY different than either Jeep. More like a ‘truck’
- Each has their own advantages and benefits
- Still tempted to ‘wave’ when in the Bronco and I come across another Bronco on the road

John, if you get the dealer to detail it, make sure they have a real detail shop and not just some porter with a shop rag. They will also need to use special chemicals like IronX to remove the Rail Dust.
I don't even want to know about the Ducks, that sounds horrible!I think the best option would be to use an Ouija Board.
That will give you as much information as Ford can.
I see your in Charlotte. We used to live in Mathews, just on the south side of town.
I was never so mortified driving as when we lived there seeing Green Mallard ducks squished all over the streets there. My kids were traumatized.
I'm at Capital Ford. They've been quiet about everything so far and I don't like bothering them since they don't know wth is going on either
Who's your dealer?
