CSX has been telling me all along that my Bronco was released in Indiana in December 😬 I just track through Union Pacific now and that is slow going!
Meg - I haven't had any luck with UP, it can't figure out my rail car number. Granted, haven't tried entering it.

Neither tracker was good w/ phone pad entry, just voice. CSX asks for letters then numbers, two different prompts. For UP, you have to take a deep breath and recite all 10 characters slowly and evenly w/o pause.

Went topless for the first time today! It was 56 so I had to do it!

After putting the top back on it doesn't seem like the sides of the soft top are as secure as they were from the factory. I double checked to make sure those center latches actually latched. I'm going to do some searching for adjusting the tension or maybe adding some Velcro or something?

So now I know why Palsapp kept saying pending (it still says that) when I put in my VIN to search. Ford is contracting private transport drivers to haul Broncos to the dealerships. Also why "ship" on the pizza tracker might not update when they leave the plant? This guy showed up today about 3:00 with my Wildtrak and 2 others, so he probably loaded up this morning and hit the road. These Broncos are all for this dealership so some of the delay is waiting for a certain amount of Broncos all going to the same place if you are convoy. Dearborn is 5 hours from me. If you have an HD truck and want to make some $$$ call up Ford and haul some Broncos!

Ok, gonna see if folks on this thread can give a better answer. There was a thread going on it, but it kind of disintegrated and never seemed to give a straight answer.

Apparently there's different buttons on the center GOAT dial....depending on if your Bronco has trail control AND one pedal drive......

Here's a pic of the two (and perhaps there's a 3rd if you have a manual?).

My UNDERSTANDING is the 2.7 has BOTH features, while the 2.3 auto ONLY has trail control. Is this correct?

What doesn't seem to make sense to me is the 2.7 button has ONE icon with BOTH functions, but the 2.3 auto has TWO icons on the button but ONE function? Seems like whichever bronco had both functions would have a center button with two icons. Right?

Or, am i getting it wrong and the 2.7 ONLY has the one-pedal function?

So my 2.7 looks like the bottom photo, albeit, I have selectable so no 4A.

This is interesting that the image is different. Weird.

for what it's worth. sell it after market. make the $$ yourself.
Didn’t end up happening. They figured an easier way to do it where I basically bought and traded it back in one sitting. They have me $1000 in parts credit, but wondering if that’s the ford customer satisfaction funds in disguise

Is anyone else tracking on CSX getting no status available for 2 days now? Last I heard was my rail car was going to Chicago on 2/15 and since then CSX has "no status available". Is it normal?
Yeah, I think ours are/ were on the same train. I'm getting the same thing, but prior to today the destination was Blue Island at 7:00pm tonight. So I'm thinking they are changing trains and hopefully tomorrow there will be updated info.

The wait is finally over. For those still waiting, especially those who waited longer than me, I will echo what everyone else has said. It is so worth it. I only drove it a few miles home, and I'm in love. Wife drove it around the block and says she wants one now. She might be kidding for now, but her lease is up in a few months.

So back in May, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, I went to the walkin clinic with a lingering chest cold that wasn't going away. They took my blood pressure and it was off the charts, and they made me go to the ER. 30 minutes later, I'm being told I have end stage kidney failure, and because of all the fluid in me, my heart was only pumping at 10%. This came out of nowhere - 2 weeks prior, on my 42nd birthday, I kayaked upstream in a river near me, fighting the current for 2 miles, and was completely fine.
Fast forward two weeks, and I'm wondering if I'm going to make it home to see my family or not. The docs got my BP under control and started me on dialysis. I was in the hospital for 12 days, and at some point I had that "life is way too short" moment. I had wanted a Jeep since I was like 18, but never thought it was practical. I decided when I got out I would sell my car and get one, but then I started reading about the Bronco and got obsessed, and well, you know the rest because you're all as bad as me (and some of you much, much worse ;))
I'm not going to go all cliche and say that waiting for this beast is what got me through the last 8 months, because I have way more to live for than a car, even a badass car like this. I will say, however, that this forum, especially this thread, has been a great distraction. I have spent countless hours here while sitting in a dialysis chair. I was actually in dialysis when I got my build week email, which is what lead me to finally make an account here. Nothing gets you through dialysis quite like reading about Alvin Olson calling the train line 472 times in an afternoon, or seeing everyone's pics and wondering if you'll be the last one out of purgatory.

more and better pics to come, but it's dark and raining now, so just this one...

Wow! Thank you for sharing that with us. Not even sure what to say. I’m sure that I speak for everyone when I say that I’m glad if I had even a sliver of a part in lifting your spirits. Stay strong, and enjoy your new ride!

Harry was finally picked up last night by my wife. Without me. 😔 She's going to get to know him better than me before I come home in March (not really because she says she's overwhelmed by the amount of buttons 😂). However she did take some pictures for me and sent me a video of Harry being on the truck. Pick up went super smooth. I was able to text my sales guy and we went over all the checklist. Made sure I got my points and all stuff ordered. Didn't pay a dime more then the original agreed price. Wife says everything looks good, drives good and my kids love it. Eventually I'll get to drive it lol

Holy cow, @Broski5738. You have been thru the ringer. What a story. Life can take a really quick turn.

I am happy you got your Broski-Bronco; I hope you get to use it for lots of great family adventures. (Adorable young man, btw).

We are all pulling for you. Hugs galore tucked inside this note.
