🛠 3/14/22 Build Week Group

[mustang18gt]

Not sure what is going on with ordertrack. It now shows 3/14 blend- and everything else prior to this has been 3/15 blend. Now shows rail for the first time ever.

My blend date was 3/14, but ordertrack says it was 3/13. Mine now (correctly) says Rail, matching the window sticker’s stated delivery method.

Hmm so maybe April 2nd for us 3/19’ers?

Possibly. I know not everyone is getting them. I was surprised I received one. Didn’t get many emails from Ford before the production notice. I hope you guys get it soon!

Well window sticker changed again from 3/11 to 3/20 , 3/28, now it is 3/30
Blend date was 3/18, but now shows 3/17
convoy status= picked , shipping was from 3/25 -3/31, now 3/29-4/4
and yes, I have become more handsome since placing an order for a bronco

* I too should have started out with a thank you for all the knowledge gained through reading this thread. I did find someone speculate that on hold at the rail yard could be something keeping it from being loaded onto a transporter like a dead battery, flat tire, damage or hopefully it is something less benign like driver shortage? Thinking driver shortage would not create on hold though, unfortunately.

@First BaseMan or anyone else with info. I am technologically challenged but I found this. I have been following @First BaseMan thinking we might be on the same train car even thought I haven't looked up railroad information. I was just trying to wait patiently figuring it doesn't matter when it gets here. From what I can decipher, this might be the last information we are able to track until we get a dealer call. I know I have seen comments about "on hold" as I have read this entire thread over the past few weeks but couldn't find the exact reference in regards to what is the final rail destination. Hopefully we are both on the same train car, or even better, maybe unloaded? Mine is headed to Sullivan, Mo (Laura Ford). I am in St. Louis.

I wish I was at Laura. I had to transfer my reservation from my original dealer and tried moving it to Laura, but they were pretty upfront about the allocation situation - they didn't have any - which I appreciate. I ended up moving it to a dealer in KC who was also straight up about their 22 allocation and hopefully I'll be picking up soon.

I appreciate the kind words, but this is pretty much me trying to decipher the information we get:

Wentzville should be the last train stop on your journey. If it's on hold there my wild ass guess would be it's because they are just waiting for a full truckload headed your way and then you'll be loaded up an en route to Sullivan.

I told @Mburris2me the same thing and he had little faith and he picked his up today. I think I'm still a little ways out, but that's just a guess because I don't really have any info to go on. But I hope to see you other folks around St. Louis and the metro east in my Bronco soon.

Hoping our rail car starts moving today @Jmiller94! One of the guys I’m friends with in our Houston Bronco Club sent me his timeline and said he got his 8 days after it left Gibson, IN and it’s been there for 2 days now but he did say his sat there for a few days too so hopefully by the end of next week it’s here!

Where is it written that the difference between 22 and 22.5 are handled differently and dealers will need to submit to Ford to be reimbursed?
...

The process was conveyed in the Mid-March Update thread from Granger. They copy/pasted the relevant information from direct communications from Ford. It is convoluted so you'll have to read it multiple times (and then do it again as it is clear as mud). I'm linking a post of mine that I made in a separate Price Protection thread which copy/pasted the relevant snippet on price protection.

Price Protection Process as Ford has communicated to dealers.

Edit: I've added the links to the Mid-March Update thread. Readers will note the sub-section (per Ford) on price protection mid-way through the initial post.

So now my railcar has been "Constructively Placed" Selkirk, NY 3/29 11:51pm
Anyone know how long it takes to move and be unloaded?
Such a holding pattern!

Matthew,

Are you getting updates through the CSX 1-800 number? Asking because I’m still in Gibson per CSX. I know I’ll head west at some point but figured it’d be about the same time you guys headed south.

Thanks!

 

[mustang18gt]

YES!!!! After 16 days of “in production”, I HAVE BEEN BUILT!

I hope all my other Bronco brethren in limbo have similar good news to share today!

As for the trackers:

*Order tracker now shows me as “Awaiting Shipment” but has the ASN code still.

*Window sticker still has a 3/26 date.

*Motorcraft still shows a 3-character “DAA” tear tag.

*Ford’s tracker is down at the moment.

Pardon my interruption. I am still getting updates thru CSX. I've been in Gibson, IN since yesterday at about 05:30. Wonder if we are on the same equipment. My last three is 198.
