No need to answer if you don’t want to. Where in MO? And what dealer? I’m in St. Louis but ordered through Laura Ford in Sullivan MO. I got my baby pic too and shipped approximately 17ish days ago. I called my dealer 10 days ago and I was in Mitchell Illinois. From there it was going to wentzville. Wentzville has a lot where I’m imagining it is siting awaiting transport. My dealer said that’s the part that’s up in the air. They need a full load to leave. So sorry hi knows. I’m wondering if we are in the same spot right now

That is crazy that they have to leave vehicles sitting until they have a "full load." Get a smaller transport truck so that it fills faster haha

I'm also in MO and have no clue where mines at. Ive shown shipped for two weeks now and have my baby pic but no idea where the Broncos at. Dealer gave me the rail car number but I haven't been able to track it. When I call CSX they tell me they don't have a car with the that number. Dealership says that's all they can see is that rail number so whos knows. These past few weeks have been the hardest.

I am in the same boat! My Bronco is having a much better spring break than I have.

I'm down in Poplar Bluff, about 2 hours south of STL. I ordered through Lutesville Ford in Marble Hill. Small town dealership but sell a lot of vehicles. They've always been fair to us and my whole family. Between all of us we probably buy 2-3 vehicles from them a year. I have heard great things about Laura Ford though.

Crazy about 10 minutes after I posted that i decided to try the freight tracking site one more time just to see and it now shows its headed to my dealer. Called the dealer and they said it could be there today but more than likely tomorrow or Monday. So progress is being made fingers crossed yours is loaded up with mine on its way! Mine left out of Wentzville as well.

Any Southern CA folks get the status update too? My pizza tracker is now in "final preparation", with the proper spelling lol.

Just noticed that someone finally ran spellcheck on the pizza tracker.

No changes for me. My tracker froze on 1/27 (1/25 bend) and now it plays dead most of the time like opossum.


Good Luck to you, it looks that you are really close to your Branco.

I'm still in Production 1/25 baby

i went through the weekly spreadsheets and wanted to share some ice mountain stats:

• week 1/3 is 92% delivered, only 5 broncos still stuck "in production" purgatory - so close!!!
• week 1/10 is 20% delivered, and 35% still stuck "in production" purgatory
• week 1/17 is 7% delivered, and 81% still stuck "in production" purgatory
• week 1/24 is 20% delivered, and 57% still stuck "in production" purgatory

this data is only as good as the info on the spreadsheets, so try to keep your info updated. if you haven't gone to the spreadsheet in a while, please go make sure all your drop down boxes have something selected, especially in your "pizza tracker status" column. if the "pizza tracker status" column has a blank box, then our percentage for people still stuck "in production" is wrong (i'm sure it is because we have lots of blanks in that column).

also, reminder to update the massive ice mountain tracker if you've had any change in status

Well I had some family over for dinner and right after I sat down I got a call from an unknown number in Detroit. As many of you know I sent an email to several Ford Execs this week so I took the call. Well…it was Ford calling me! The person I spoke explained she represents the Ford Executive team and had read and shared my email in a meeting today. She said the focus of the meeting was specifically in the lack of communication to people on ice mountain. I spoke to her for at least 15 minutes and she explained that it is a chip shortage that caused the backup. She said the problem they are facing is a lack of skilled personnel that can install chips in the Broncos on Ice Mountain as well as weather issues. They are working hard to clear the backlog and they are aiming to get all of them out in under 90 days. I thanked her profusely for calling me and asked that they please send some sort of update. She said they are working on putting together some sort of weekly email whether it is individually or collectively is TBD at this point. I couldn’t believe I actually received a call and hope this helps you all sleep a little better tonight.

I'm not sure I would buy all of those excuses, as I do not believe that someone is installing any "microchip" in the field. I'm pretty sure that they have to move them back to the main building to complete the installation and run the final QC and readiness test before declaring them as "build". One of the members post a "baby picture" with a snowy vehicle in the background.

"The squeaky wheel gets the oil". Let's see the response to your email will do any actions or you get your vehicle in May first.

At least you may provide feedback and visibility from Ford clients and the B6G forum to Ford Executive/Mid management.

Thank you for that.

Edd was 3/1/22

Dealer had been tracking it. They had me come in last week and complete contracts and payment expected it to be in this week or early next.
