For real.

@Jazer I feel like we need a badge that’s one of those “I Survived” styles.

I Survived

Ordering the Bronco?
Bronco Purgatory?
Bronco Wilderness (because I feel like this whole process is akin to wandering the desert with no map, unsure if you see water or just an illusion. )

How about a tee shirt that says "I tried to give Ford $50,000, and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt"

Thanks @Cat , but I keep getting the dreaded "Something Went Wrong" message when I try to register. I will play around with it some tomorrow.

I have never worked so hard to give someone $56,000 in my life.
We must all be a little insane.

Works well on cell phones better. On my Samsung, i swipe down to refresh, then the robot captcha thingy appears.

If your vin is in their system, then you will get a chance to register.

So...you get the message when?

Yeah, I was originally trying this on my iPad, then realized it needed to be on the phone (iPhone for me). The vin pulls up the load number and my dealer information okay, but when I enter my name and email and hit subscribe, it gives me the error. Maybe the system's down, and a good nights sleep will cure it.

Maybe @Alvin Olson , @Jazer or @Panmort has some ideas?

I'll wait to hear from them, and try again tomorrow. Thanks again!

By the way, I just noticed you have a Road King. I currently ride a Road Glide. And, we have a Ural Gear Up which is a blast too. And always gets us a million questions when we stop for gas. Most fun you can have on 3 wheels!

Have a good night, and I will try again in the am.

Did you ever get an email from [email protected] ‹[email protected]› with a temporary password? I wonder if your email already exists in their system.

It should look something like this:

Well...did you get your Bronco yet?!

@Cat your timing is amazing and thank you asking! I got the call from my dealer around 11am this morning in fact. My Bronco was delivered to the dealership yesterday on the last day of my EDD range. I scrambled down to @chapmanford here in Scottsdale, AZ (True Confession: I ironed a shirt before I left because of the special occasion). I had my photo op, then went through my mental OCD List I had gone over several times, thanks to you @Cat . My financing went quick as they couldn’t touch 1.89% with USAA. Declined their 8yr 100k extended warranty that was offered for $3,600 (again, another @Cat insight). Said a little prayer and drove away in my Bronco! Was home just in time for my afternoon conference call, which I completely mentally checked out of! Just nodded my head in approval, chuckled a few times and may have even agreed to do some stuff, but not really sure what!? Left right after for an evening engagement and just now nestled her into my freshly mopped garage for the night after 90 blissful miles today. It was all very surreal, but I do know I’m very lucky and blessed beyond what I deserve!

Oh how AWESOME for you, Chris!! You and your crisply ironed shirt look wonderful next your NEW BRONCO!!!

Sounds like you went in fully prepared. Nicely done.

Have fun on the backroads in AZ. Will you be attending a Bronco Off Rodeo in Nevada?

I don’t think so, nothing against the Nevada location, I hear they’re all amazing! I’ve just been drawn to Moab or even Austin as one of my son’s is up the road @Baylor and I can’t get enough BBQ!

I know almost everyone says “so worth it” but I am an angry customer without a bronco. I know it can be worse but ford created this by giving us a edd, three to be exact now. As one can figure, our edd got pushed back yet again. And we have zero idea why. Our tracker still shows “in production” since 1/7 but every time we call cs, they say it is built, passed quality, just waiting for pick up. Our dealer cant see any reason for a hold. Their ford rep has zero information. People with same build, but later than ours, have been built and delivered already.
Ford, you f-ing suck. Your communication to your paying customers is atrocious. I hope everyone working for ford or a ford dealership is watching this shitshow and are updating their resume. At this rate, Ford will be out of business sooner than later.
Rant over…until the next bump with no explanation!!!!

Here's one for you. My wife ordered a Taycan over the weekend and this is their tracking experience. It certainly "looks" better with a countdown, the seemingly exact track the vehicle will take, and updated current location (yet to be built with an EDD of 66 days).

Hell of a lot more pleasant to look at than having to chase 6 mismatched tracking sites. We'll see how it actually goes.

It gave me an error the first time, and then I either just hit the button again or refreshed. I don't remember exactly.

Cat you have the patience of a saint.....I am running out of excuses to keep telling myself why I still even want this thing....why do I want to give ALOT of my hard earned money to a company who obviously doesn't really care about the people buying their products, we just want some explanatons and answers as to why customer x got their car , and my car is frozen and rotting in a lot somewhere in the Michigan countryside with THOUSANDS of others when it was supposed to be built weeks before customer x's car was..... it shows ineptness and a complete lack of foresight. sorry rant over.... @Ford Motor Company care to weigh in ? or do you just like the feel good posts?

This is where I am at in this stage of the game now. I still am holding out hope I may seen mine before the end of the month, but that feeling is dwindling. CS and my dealer are telling me there is zero reason for my Bronco not being shipped, no holds, passed QC, etc but where is it @Ford Motor Company? Sitting at ice mountain lost? We already own a F-150 - which we love, but my husband and I agreed that if we ever see our Bronco, it probably will be our last Ford.

What has been the rough estimated time of delivery from once you all got built confirmation? Thanks

 

[Nikki-BDSQ22]

Picked up this beauty last night! I LOVE IT! The finance guy told me that people had been coming in looking at it and making offers all day. Went and picked her up a soon as I could leave school (which wasn't fast enough). Joe Myers Ford was amazing to work with. No markups, no surprises, great experience. It is so fun to drive! First stop, Chick-fil-a.

I've noticed every one else in purgatory has had their EDD pushed back at least once. Mine has somehow not changed. Is it safer to think that my tracker is completely busted or does anyone think I have any chance of actually seeing my bronco around my EDD of 2/14.

12/23: Showed in production
1/8: Blend date on window sticker
1/10: Dealer said "in transit" (whatever that means)
1/11: In production date showed up on tracker (nothing has changed since)
No built date
No ship date
No emails
