I'm back. Yup, I bought my Wildtrak. As soon as I saw the color, I was done for.
The dealer did everything they said, to the point of actually creating a service ticker for the OCD checklist in the service system. It is, now, forever documented that these checks were performed. Very special thank you to @Cat for the incredible job and formatting in creating this essential purchasing tool. With the Ice Mountain vehicles and Ford's history, there is much power and relief in having a list in front of you to run through. It separates you from the emotions and the possibility of forgetting or overlooking something. Thank you, Cat!!
The dealer honored my X-plan pricing without hesitation or conversation. Everything was complete before arriving and we had discussed all numbers before heading down.
The price protection certificate took a bit of work. I say this, only because I have moved since my original reservation. The price protection is tied to your original reservation information and address. I had to give them my original info AND, more frustratingly, a document showing I lived there. Uhhhhhh, well, errr, ummm, I haven't lived there in over a year!!! Dig, dig, search, jump on my utility website, and, blamo, pull up a bill from when I lived there. This is a Ford-required verification document and had nothing to do with the dealer. Once I gave them the document, it applied in the system and I got my price protection certificate amount as well.
Total time through finance was about 30 minutes. All legal crap and a great conversation with my finance person as we have some history and had a great side conversation that had nothing to do with Broncos, Fords, or other things vehicular.
Bronco was exceptionally clean and all the crawling around, over, under, and around found one stone throw paint chip on the rear rocker. I pointed it out with a stern finger-wagging point. You would have thought I sucked the air out of the room. Everyone stopped, and then, immediately sprang into looking, thinking, and determining what, how, etc. to rectify such an egregious event. I calmly waited for the appropriate 30-seconds to let it set in. I then broke out laughing and told them to stop worrying about it, it was fine and completely inconsequential. Got 'em!!!!
I am not going to ever say that what we have, and are, going through is worth it. I will say that my Wildtrak is an incredible piece of engineering though. Already having one Bronco, a bone-stock base with no options, and now this one, I can say that they are worlds apart yet, so familiar to each other. Completely different hammers to hit the same, and different, nails. incredible! The different motors, different suspensions, different interior appointments, screen sizes, etc. all work perfectly in each respective vehicle. You cannot go wrong with either end of the spectrum.
What next? Well, for me, some accessory swapping from the black one to the green one and then off to market goes the black one. Someone is going to really score a nice rig without any of the headaches of what we in our special family of 1/17ers have gone through. Beyond that, I will soon forget about the black Bronco. Memoriesrepalced with the vehicle I waited 665 days for. It is here! Finally.
For us, I am not going anywhere. I have t-shirts and other fun prizes to send out from time to time. Osky scored the first shirt and I added in a nice Lego truck for him to pass his time with. Who's next? and what for? Gimme some help to send someone something. It's gonna be a long time, sorry, until the last one in our group gets their Bronco, unfortunately.
It's off to bed, I have to go back on shift in the morning. Ok, one more run out to look at that green in the darkness of night....

It is quite mesmerizing. It is truly incredible how it morphs based on the lighting bouncing off the paint. Until I saw it pull around in the parking lot today, I had never seen it in person. I was left practically speechless. I made the right choice for me for many reasons. I cannot wait to get it all protected and properly cleaned and detailed. I have no doubt it will add another dimension to it and add some depth. It really transformed the other Bronco and its Shadow Black.

The reality this is the market. My order is MSRP. You can not get that on the open market it’s 10k plus over original. I feel I will be able to sell this one at near same price in a few months or my order at 10k over. So I have to decide…. Just considering money I would do better selling my order but I like my order built better. So I’ll probably sell this in a few months.

Completely agree. I am marketing mine at $45k. I expect it to go immediately...or sooner than that.

Going to place it at the local college weekend car sales lot this weekend. I'll consider Craigslist, FB has a Bronco sale site, and word of mouth. If it hasn't gone by mid-week next, I'll consider Bring a Trailer and looking at other avenues. I hate the inevitable lookie-loos and tire kickers but, I won't be pandering to anyone other than those who can show serious intent.

Finally, picked her up. As I was test driving her I sat there for a good minute to take it all in and really appreciate the design of the car and reminisced all the frustration of checking the tracker daily and all the images I went through on this forum. I sat there in the driver seat firmly grabbing the leather steering wheel and it felt surreal to being finally sitting in my bronco and actually seeing through my own eyes instead of all the images on this forum. This feeling will come for all that is waiting way too patiently to get their good news from their dealer. Hang in there folks. It's an incredible car that you have coming for you.
Something I was absolutely amazed about that not a lot of people talk about; The turning radius on the Bronco is unbelievable.

What is that Bronco you already have anyway? Wasn't it a base or something? I think you posted some pics down in Monterey?
I bought a RAM Rebel yesterday. It's a really nice truck. I'll have to see whenever my Bronco show's up if I even want it at this point. To bad Ford could care less if I take it or leave it and I will not forget that.
Tell them to create a case for logistics. Maybe that will help. I personally think that some people just try to get rid of you on the phone call. They be like they don't know anything etc but I guess there is always that one outstanding employee that goes beyond and actually tries to help. I got lucky yesterday then I would assume. Let's see if anything comes from it
My
From the day it shipped to the you picked up at dealer. How long was it . Also. Were you able to track it via rain number . Also how many times was your EDD changed ? Congrats on your new bronco . Slap the back bumper for sturdiness

Like a lovesick fool, every day I refresh the order tracker at least 3 times and check the Build Rotation Excel sheet 3-5 times a week to see how the rest of you are coming along. You know, just in case she called and I missed my phone ring even though I've had it on me the whole time.
Like everyone, my experience has been frustrating to no end. After being a first 24-hr reservation holder, my Bronco has been sitting on ice mountain with seemingly little progress and an EDD of next week. On 4/28, it inexplicably pushed all the way to "In Transit" just to later that day move backwards to "In Production". When I called FoMoCo Support to ask about it, all they can see is "it's on chip hold" and play the same no-commitment games everyone's getting when you reach out.
Is anyone still updating the Delivery Tracker Google Sheet? Seemingly, we've stalled at 49% Built and 29% Delivered, though if everyone is as apathetic about all this as I've become, can't say I'd blame you for not updating it after taking delivery.
Thanks!
