Everyone else in Ohio has been getting shipped by convoy, so that’s a good thing. You’ll get it so much faster if it never sees a train or especially a railyard. The early deliveries in this build group from Michigan and Ohio were getting theirs in a day (or two at most) after it leaves the plant. Good luck.
Damn, that sucks. Mine got to the dealership on Sunday, they told me I probably wouldn’t be able to pick it up til Tuesday. I was so pissed, I had already paid, all they had to do it wash it and gas it up and they only got four vehicles in that delivery. I told my wife to just drop me off and I’m not leaving without it. If they told me no, I was just gonna ask to take it for a test drive and not bring it back. They had it ready at 4:30 on Monday though. Did a shitty job washing it, but I don’t care.Well, the good news is that I have confirmed my Bronco is there. They just need to install the hood deflector that I ordered and get it cleaned up and then it should be good to go.
The bad news is that I have to wait for my sales rep to get back in the office. She's out with covid!(I guess this is one of the drawbacks of a tiny dealership. Who'd a thunk it?)
Oh well, what's a few more days after all this. I feel blessed not to be on ice mountain, production purgatory, or god knows wherever those remaining 2021's are.
Today I also got pushed to 02/23/2022 from 02/03/2022. Original EDD was 01/18/2022. Wish I knew exactly what the hold up was. But yes, at least it's not a May date for now.
Has it shipped yet?
Mine just changed from 02/05/2022 to 02/08/2022.
I’m convinced 90% of the dates are auto generated bullshit dates. When it actually says shipped or shows up at the dealer I’ll believe it but otherwise it just noise. So pathetic
Mine....hasn't changed yet. Still optimistically sitting at 2/6. Though every time I refresh the tracker I pucker up waiting for some bad news.
Looks awesome and congrats! Maybe I missed it, but is there any word on the bumper issue?I got it and I have to say, meh. Not really impressed. The wind noise is too loud, the interior is plasticky, the knobs don't display the temp, there's no V8, the bass isn't powerful enough on the sound system...anyone want mine? I'll sell it below MSRP as I've already put like 25 miles on it.
WHATEVER!!! This thing is so cool. It's really, really big. It drives surprisingly well (much better than any Jeep I've ever driven), plenty of power (it's not like my other car, but so what), looks incredible (truly, one of a kind...for now), and just all around awesome. So glad it's now mine, but I don't know what I'm going to do with my free time now that there's nothing to obsessively track and message boards to commiserate on. I guess I'll just have to drive my Bronco.
Best wishes to everyone waiting...it IS worth it.
P.S. I kinda feel sorry for that red Jeep guy. Look how small it is.
P.P.S. I don't even hate the standard bumper, but I've already ordered an OEM replacement (I'm not a fan of all of the Cybertruck-looking aftermarket ones).
P.P.P.S. No Mini Schnauzers were injured in this photo shoot.
Mine was pretty accurate, nothing changed much until the slow train ride and rail yard delay. My build week only got pushed back once. It got built and left the plant quickly, then it was just the transportation that lagged and my edd got moved back three times. Nothing like the poor 12/6ers, some of whom are getting their edd pushed back to April or May. I think they must have run out of knobs with the temperature display or something. I would be homicidal by now if I was in their boat.
as folks pointed out on here, ford switched the bumper on the WT more than a year ago from the metal one (what's now called the "capable" bumper) to a plastic one. there is only one upgrade option, to the "modular" bumper, and no option to upgrade to the capable. when i reordered my car last year, i didn't upgrade to the modular because (1) i didn't love the way it looked online, and (2) the bumper that Ford displays on their B&P is the capable bumper (even though the vehicle actually comes with the "standard"). to make it more annoying and confusing, every subsequent image Ford has posted since of the WT since I re-ordered it has clearly shown the capable bumper. while the standard looks better in person than online, i've decided that the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting ALMOST what you want...thus, i've ordered a replacement from Ford. apparently, it may not take 3 years to arrive...we'll see.
Have you been tracking the train? I honestly don’t know if it’s good or bad to keep checking. If someone told me that I’d have my bronco in early February back in October when I made my 2022 order, I would have been happy. Tracking it obsessively was what drove me nuts. Seeing how close you’re getting, and then seeing it stall. It’s like getting blue balls.
