🛠 1/17/2022 Build week group

[Big Diamond]

Finally took delivery on Thursday of last week! What an unbelievable journey to get to this point. Big shout out to Chapman Ford for incredible support through the entire process and for an honest transaction at the end.

I’m really happy with the truck so far and found many of the gripes at B6G to be nitpicking. I do admit I may never get used to this awful tach! I’m also really satisfied with the Toyos and feel they are a total upgrade from the stock Bridgestones.

@Ford Motor Company you have a unique product here. Please do the right thing and take care of the remaining 1/17 gang. Treat your most loyal customers like your company future depends on it, because it does!

Final thoughts, nothing is “worth the wait”. What was worth it was meeting all of YOU! I’ll still hang around until the last 1/17 is evacuated from that damn parking lot. Until then, I’ll be in touch to answer whatever questions I can.

Those Toyos look really nice on there. I've had some on my Bronco Sport Badlands and have really enjoyed them. Great on road, in dirt, rain, etc.

I got load range C Nitto Ridge Grapplers waiting to go on the Black Diamond just to try something different.

This is the sad fact. This status is in production and the number is just the ones using this app. Thus this is probably 50% of total.

Please continue to keep us updated as this is what I’ve thought but also not certain

I definitely will!

I had a feeling this might be the case that some people might just never get updated. We've seen some people on the forum get theirs when it still says they are in production. I'm really hoping that is the case. I guess I will find out in 3 weeks when my EDD comes.

Being hopeful for you!

What a hopeful post. Thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome! Really hoping this is the case for those of us still “in production “

I feel like my dealer basically said this yesterday without saying exactly this. he said a bunch have been showing up lately without notice! and he seems to think mine will potentially be here before my EED which is may 8-14! i just didn’t want to get my hopes up!!!

Lol I definitely understand and not wanting to get hopes up!

My Bronco shipped on April 15th and arrived at the Ft Worth depot/rail yard today. It sat in Arkansas City, Kansas for 4 days over the last weekend. I guess it switched trains and no one works weekends (who even knows at this point!) My dealer said it scheduled to get put on a transporter - they have 14 cars to be delivered to the dealership, and he says it will be no more than a few days. So if you’re in NTX, that was a 11 day train ride….all that being said - I cannot WAIT!!

sounds like we are on the same train mine shipped same day and also sat in Arkansas City over the weekend and arrived at Alliance rail yard this morning. which is your dealership?

Sorry I've been awol. It's the last week of the semester before finals and the students are stressing. How many of you have driven a Bronco before you got yours? Like did any of you test drive any?

I drove 2, a sasquatch and a back diamond.
The SAS was very noisy... terrible............ the tires that made all this noise oversteered a bit but it was fun to drive. I think both had 2.7 engines but the Sas seemed peppier. I would have had to wear my shooting ear protection to drive it . lol We went quite far. Good visibility, Sas was 2 doors and Black diamond was 4. Seats were comfy.... lots of room..... I actually hopped into the back of the 4 door. Ride was good on both. I used to have a Explorer Sport and a Sport trac Adrenaline so I have some experience.

I can't get anything further from @Ford, my tracker isn't updated and CS just says still on chip hold. How do I have an EDD of may 5th through 11th when they have no idea on when they will have a chip? Just send it without the chip and have dealer install it later. I've lost a lot of respect for the Ford brand through this 16 month journey now that I see all these 3 month turn around orders. Daily vent over.

I can answer this for you. You won't get it ahhahah sorry but odds are it ain't happening . You'll prob get it the week before the next quarter ends

So the asshats at @Ford just moved my EDD for the 5th time!

Henry Ford is rolling over in his grave. These dipshits can’t do anything right. I really want to tell them to shove this Bronco Up their collective asses…

Most recent EDD was 4/23-4/29, just moved out again to 5/8-5-14.

They even missed the ridiculous 5/4 date when they moved us all out 3 months back in February.

I’ve been “built” since 3/27.

@Ford you suck!!!!

Which dealership? I would love to pull an @Osky305 and jump straight from In Production to Delivered.

Realistically though, an 11 day train ride means that if I'm not built within the next week or so, my revised EDD will be at risk (5/11-5/17).

Awesome!! Bob Tomes in McKinney!

That's mine too!
