My dealer got in 2 two door Cactus Gray Broncos this week…but they were both Bases

What a roller coaster that must have been

I wonder what “similar status” means. I just checked mine, which is also “Awaiting Shipment”, and it says there are only 24 with similar status. I’ve never seen it higher than 30 since that feature was added.

I'm not sure how they chop those numbers up. I'm guessing trim, plus maybe doors and transmission? Then is it by build week or build day? The number on my tracker started in the 50s and has been tracking up and is now at 78. I have no idea how to interpret any of this information.

Also since my status is still "In Production" I have the additional status note. As far as I know there is not an official hold on my Bronco in Ford's system, but that sounds a lot like a bad/missing module on my build day. Which seems bad for me.

We have the same blend date, and I am similarly hopeful, but man is it frustrating to not get any updates for an entire month after the build date. I'm also not at all understanding their formula for rail and convoy east of the Mississippi. I've seen some like you from TN go by rail and some by convoy. I've seen some in southern IL go by rail to TN and then convoyed up to IL, where some others in the same area go entirely by convoy. People in PA, OH, MI, IN, and IL get convoy deliveries a week after their build date, and then others from the same places go more than a month from build without getting any update about shipping. Can't make heads or tails of it, and I think getting to the point where I would have rather not known any of these statuses. It's been almost a month since build and I'm not sure there's a reason to think that it won't be another month or more.

I'm in Chicago about 4 hours from MAP and I have been in "Awaiting Shipment" for nearly a month... the delivery ETA keeps getting pushed out because of a "convoy delay".... but I have seen in other threads where builds from a week or 2 after mine are delivered to Chicago without delay....

Hoping it goes N by NW at Barstow. Looking at the switching yard there, if it switches, could be a little bit of a wait.

Just got an update that we departed Barstow at 8:50am. Hope you’re right and continues north.

Thank you, I definitely was not following.

Wow. Never noticed. Are these her handy work?

My “Awaiting Shipment” number is 138. Went as high as 150. My blend date is 3/14 on the tracker app but 3/15 on window sticker…

With the caveat that I have no idea what I am talking about, it seems good that your number is going down instead of up, right? Maybe they are working through whatever backlog you are currently caught up in?

Same boat. I'm downstate a couple hours south from you. Thought I'd have it 3 weekends ago by now.

My group keeps growing. Kick me in the !

Just in case you wanted to know, this is from the creator of the order tracker app in reference to the numbers of people in the same spot.

“That would be the total number of vehicles matching a similar make, model, year, and body style. So theoretically you will see roughly how many vehicles are in the same status that are configured with similar features.”

He uses your vin to decode that info.

I’m on Day 6 and @Jmiller94 and @broncomama were in my same railcar and they have theirs

Was about 9 days for me!

When I go to Ford site it has my Bronco as "In Production". When I contact Ford they are showing that it was completed on 4/4 with and ETA of 4/10. I am guessing that it is at the factory waiting to be shipped? Anyone else in this situation?

My estimated arrival was between Tuesday, April 12th to Monday, April 18th so just praying it happens between then

I was in a similar situation several weeks ago. The best advise that was given to me, was to reach out to Ford Chat and your dealer to see if you can get a status from them. After 2 separate conversations with both, their info aligned on the ETA date. Eventually the trackers caught up. The trackers have not been very accurate for some people. Once you get on the train West be ready for a long ride of anticipation. Both @Cysquatch and stated we would not be tracking trains. I never got a rail car number but he did, however we figured out we were probably on the same train. Now I am tracking him tracking the train. I never thought I would get as educated in the rail system as I am now.
