RANDOM UPDATE: My dealer ended up calling me, saying that my bronco has been delivered! They had no idea it was on its way. We'll see if I get hit with an ADM, come Monday when I check it out.

Well let’s see if anyone can help me out with my situation. Even a good guess would be appreciated at this point.

I’m a 1/28 blend, 1289/2270, built the 2nd and shipped the 9th.

It arrived at the local rail yard over two weeks ago. 8 miles from the dealer. The date of delivery to dealer tracked by the trucking company’s tracker has moved each day since. Always a day or three at a time. Plenty have been picked up in the past two weeks and taken to my dealer but mine still sits.

Well, a few days ago the status on the trucking web sight changed from “ awaiting transport pickup” to “Hold by ford motor company”.

I called the 1-800 number and my new delivery date with them is 63 days into the future, May 6th.

What is going on with this poor Bronco? 8.1 miles from the finish line!?!??!? Haha

any way you could drive by there and see if by chance there was any major visible damage done during transport?

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll try to get close enough tomorrow that maybe I can spot my Bronco.

If I could go buy something else I half ass wanted I would be gone instantly.

I’ve done way too much research on rubicons and the next gen 4 runners… I hate that I don’t half ass want anything either. Bronco is GREAT on the front end. Now we’re hooked.

From you guys that have gotten delivery, or close to it, did you have to have the discussion with your dealer of asking them not to do anything unwanted to it? A friend here in town told her dealer not to do anything to it but they apparently had done random "accessories" that dealers do to make more money like pin stripes or something. Curious if this is a needed discussion to have stating "DO NOT TOUCH MY CAR" haha!

Yup, my dealership does the installed options like nitrogen in the tires, VIN etching, GPS tracking and all that crap if you buy a car off their lot. I asked my dealer if they could hold off and he said yes since I custom ordered mine. They did still put nitrogen in the tires but I didn't get charged for it. They also didn't drill my front plate bracket in like I asked. All in all it was a pleasant experience.

I would definitely have that talk with your dealer.

Got my tint and brow done today. I did 15% on the back windows and can barely see through them now

Assuming it was built somewhere between the 7th and 10th of February based on our spreadsheet. Gives me a little hope that once mine finally gets built (and @MNWaxedYeti's as well since we are at the same Dealer) it should be about a month after that. Now if they would just put the chips in.

Also points to how we are probably just a fraction of the people from these 3-1/2 cursed weeks. So even if we (collectively between 1/10, 1/17, and 1/24 (and part of 1/3)) are not seeing much movement or activity, it doesn't mean there isn't any, just none that effect us.

Trying to remain positive.

The only thing I asked them not to do was the front tag. I know that they aren't doing anything extra unless it is a Bronco that has been passed on by the person who ordered.

What do you mean by front tag?

What do you mean by front tag?

I asked them not to mount the front tag bracket. Because they basically drill into the grill and I hate the way it looks. So I bought an aftermarket replacement bracket from Valkrye that goes down lower.

Another check in to just let you all know that I’m still in Ice Mountain purgatory. 1/25 blend. I did notice that the spelling of preparation has been fixed. So, there’s that.

Nice - even the sponsored link on your post is trolling me. They like all this ice mountain talk, why not take the fam skiing!!

Not sure why, but I have some peace today and I’ll take it…hopefully we will see our builds soon but I guess we will see them when we see them.

I will survive!!
But DANGIT I want my Bronco already!! Ha

I'm in 1/10 group....my Bronco arrived in Barwin on 3/3 at around 3 PM... My dealer is in Sarasota. Initially I thought my unit would travel on via rail to Tampa or ??...but seems it may come by truck. So at this point I have lost visibility to its progress (or lack thereof)...any ideas other than contact with my dealer?

And please let me know your status...thanks

I called the 1-800 number everyday to see where it was.
