That’s the 2nd CG basesquatch I’ve seen delivered from this group. Mine could arrive any day now. That looks awesome

Looks great. I took delivery of my Basesquatch last weekend. Race Red

Had to get these on there first thing! Man this thing is a blast to drive. I know the wait is becoming grueling and annoying but I guarantee it’s worth every moment once you get it! Can’t wait to see you all with yours!

Quite similar to child birth. Worse if you ask my sister. But we will love our Broncos When it’s all over. Kidney stones are really boring to interact with after being passed. But equally as painful.
You are for sure in the constant contraction but only dilated to a 3 portion of labor. They can’t figure out weather to keep you or send you home. and you’ve been at it 20 day. Exhausting!
I personally will be going back to adopting Toyota’s directly off the lots after this. If cars ever make a comeback to lots.

I feel like it’s more of an emergency c section. Go through labor thinking you are about to be done only to be told nope now we have to prep you for surgery. Longer wait and recovery and expensive as hell but damn he’s a good kid.

If they could guarantee May delivery, I'd be happier.

So I just talked to my friend that works at Michigan assembly Plant and he told me they are still currently waiting on semiconductor chips which is not really the main issue. they’re also having a shortage of airbags. The airbags that were placed in the Broncos (1/24-26/22)are faulty so on top of the semiconductors being faulty the airbags are faulty as well. So this is why probably people that were built during those days are not seeing much movement.

You are correct. Mine was held for airbag, too. 1/3 Build Week, In Production 1/6.

Will a date fill in, theoretically, if the vehicle has been actually shipped?
Reached out to the dealer but haven't heard back yet.

No just a built date and I think the final delivery date. Mine has made it to the local yard for pickup to dealer, still no date or check mark on shipped but status is shipped. I believe the same progress is what happened for others that just took delivery.

edit: your built date is about a week after mine that’s just made it to the local train yard in GA yesterday. At this point, I’d call your dealer and see if they’ll look in there system for a rail car number. They may or may not give it to you. I was able to trace the rail car through the CSX system while my dealer’s system indicated my bronco was still at MAP. Once it made it to the local yard in GA yesterday, the dealer system updated and they saw the same. For reference, it took about 10 days to get from loading dock at MAP to local train yard in GA.

I'm 754/1012 so just behind you. Same boat. Stuck in production.

731/1012 for me. No movement at all with 5/22 EDD

Not once did my given rail car ever show up in the CSX phone system. It was always in Cottage Grove, MN, released empty by the customer on Oct. 4.

Make an account on United Rail Logistics and have it track deliveries to your dealership. When your VIN automatically shows up as Pending, it's at the rail yard waiting for a pickup truck. When it says In Route, it's on its way to the dealer. This was the only remotely accurate tracking for me.

Joyson is the supplier. I was trying to find imports from them. https://www.seair.co.in/us-import/i-ford-dearborn-assembly.aspx

Still no updates for me. Blend was 1/26th. 560ish/1130.

Just curious but did anyone in our group who has received their Broncos get the customer satisfaction funds and if so may I ask how much and if the dealers were relunctant to do it.

****Customer Satisfaction Funds: up to a $1,000. Have your dealer go to the FDAD CLAIM PAGE on the Dealers Bronco Dashboard, if they don't know about it. They can go into the Bronco Readiness dashboard. All the information about this program including their limit is in there. It doesn't cost the dealership anything to do this. Ford reimburses them.****

I know others have said this before.

My wait has been no where near as long as some of you, but the lack of communication from Ford made it very frustrating for the obsessed like myself.

But know this.. It is worth the wait. Wife and I spent all day yesterday driving through north GA with the top back. Weather was is the 70s and partly sunny.

We are looking forward to hitting the trails in the coming months.

My experience with Akins Ford in Winder was great. Zero hassles and zero surprises. Our salesman Kevin Swindall was awesome.

Exactly what @kevin.gt said. My tracker still says shipped and no date but my dealer updated me Wednesday that It was in A rail yard near us. At this point shipped is a very good sign.
