Does anyone know how long I can expect to be in Walbridge, OH? Arrived 02/14 and is still there three days later.
When did your rail car finally leave Walbridge? Mine arrived 2/21 and is stll there. Walbridge is a big auto rack boxcar yard.

Thank you! After spending a few minutes with the bumper, it looks like there is some sort of removable cap at the ends. I am going to pop off some bolts and see what happens!

Spending a few more minutes under the Bronco, I noticed both front cv joints are severely rusted already. Is this normal? Side effects of sitting on Ice Mountain?

The rust is caused by mouse pee. Look carefully for rodent nests!

So I am totally going to go on a rant and I understand the frustration on everyone here on this form @Ford so I’m going to share something a little personal here. So a relative of mine found out I was getting a bronco this person also looked into one and decided they wanted to purchase one too they also talk to other family members so they could find out the exact model I was getting and literally mimicked what I got other than the color. Yes you read that correctly this sounds like something out of a storyline but this is true. keeping Up with the Joneses type of shit. Anyways I know that there will be thousands of people out there they have the exact same trim style and color as I do I get it but here comes a extremely frustrating part of everything in Ford needs to fix this shit immediately people with reservations should’ve been done had their vehicle and everyone on chip Bad airbag should’ve already had their vehicles. So my relative that decided to copy cat me ordered their bronco October 20, 2021 tell me why yesterday this relative of mine sent me a text message sending me pictures of his bronco that was delivered yesterday. I was flabbergasted extremely pissed and mad I replied back to him how in gods name were you able to order a bronco October last year and already have your bronco by now when there’s hundreds of people still waiting for a vet number that reserved on first day and on top of that there are hundreds maybe even thousands of vehicles on hold at the Plant. He replied I have no idea what happened we thought we were not gonna get our bronco until the end of the year this is what we were told by our dealer, sidenote we have the same dealer. This is when I went ahead and decided to text my dealer and ask him how in gods name did this happen. He replied “I have no idea this makes no sense I got people here that placed orders over a year ago and they still are waiting on their bronco with no Vin or built date and he walks in here we place him the order and he gets it within 4-5 months” “I honestly think that’s bullshit too “
Honestly I’m super super super pissed that the fact that’s the way they’re picking and choosing the vehicles is that random this is bullshit BSBSBS end of story end of rant

I will gladly take ownership of my Bronco whenever it comes in. With that said, I will also gladly sign up for and participate in any class action lawsuit that takes place suing the dog shit out of Ford for not honoring their reservations as they have said they would numerous times… I feel ya!

Each day begins a new and I check the pizza tracker with baited breath, like a kid checking to see if Santa left them presents on an early Christmas morn. Only to realize there is no Christmas tree with presents, only a giant turd sandwich and Jim Farley with a chefs hat cooking said turd sandwich and laughing maniacally.

Oh well at least I get to drive into my office every day again and waste 80 minutes of my life. :LOL:

i was there about 24h. sequencing probably affects it quite a bit. had a disconcerting 3+ days of “no status available“ after making it to chi town, too, so maybe brace for that possibility.

I feel this to my core. If I wake up in the middle of the night, and it's 2 am or so, I'll check the pizza tracker to see if it's updated overnight. Then I'll check it again during the day 3 or 4 times. And of course it never changes.

the price increases won’t affect our undelivered broncos, right? I’m assuming the window sticker price is fixed and won’t be updated with new pricing? I didn’t get anything signed stating the price at time of order, and I’d assume newer orders that won’t be built for a long time might still be subject to the increase? Curious where the cutoff will be

edit: another build week had a discussion going. I like this response
I was under the impression reservation holders would have their price honored by Ford until 2023. I think I got an email to that effect? what dealers do is a whole other beast.

I don’t understand how a CSX train can take 28 hrs and counting to get from Chattanooga to Atlanta (2 hrs driving time). Departed at 5pm yesterday. If we didn’t have all this insight, I’d be doing normal life things. Instead I try to read up on locomotive traffic 😆
I feel you there brother. It has been almost 24 hours for me to get from Chattanooga Tn to Howells yard in Atlanta. I can't help but think what is my baby thinking as it slowly moves down the track and as it sits in the cold dark rail yards. I'm sure it gets nervous hoping nobody decides to graffiti the rail car or a hobo wanting a lift :) One thing is certain...I sure can't what to see my baby in person. Hell, I would even love to get a baby pic off the assembly line @Ford Motor Company
