Well hopefully it shows up this week! Glad those shenanigans are over and this Bronco is such a blast to drive so far!! The sway bar disconnect is definitely a game changer on the little bit of off-roading I was able to do behind a friends neighborhood. My fuel mileage is averaging around 17.4mpg so far with 91 octane so that kind of sucks, but probably cause I love to spool those turbos up and need to chill out. Already added sport mode, turned off the double honk, and the auto start/stop with ForScan and that was an awesome free mod so far. Sport mode has much better shift points on the street. Had a friends wife who has a brand new Rubicon JL drive it and she was blown away by how smooth the ride was and peppy the 2.7 is.

Thank you, fingers crossed for a quick delivery! Great info thank you for sharing - I plan to attempt the same ForScan mods and Sport mode is now on my list as a lot of my driving will be short in-town trips. I test drove a wrangler 4xE as consolation prize this past spring but it wasn’t even close to the smile the Bronco put on my face. Glad you are already personalizing and enjoying your Bronco!

Congratulation, my dealer says mine should be at the dealer today as well. i'm waiting of a text!!! Same Railcar!!

Thank you, I hope so! Turns out instead of dropping it at the BNSF auto park in San Bernardino 2 weeks ago it stayed on the train with yours 350 miles too far north. Now if they could just return it to the outskirts of LA that would be pretty great. Currently at the Port of Richmond per chat. Maybe a trip by boat is in the works

So, looking for opinion/advice/words of comfort for what I hope is simply paranoia from reading horror stories. I received this message from Ford pass this am. The bronco arrived at the final rail location in Columbia sc on Thursday night/Friday am. I assume this was done while being loaded onto convoy?

That's a weird message to get. I'd chalk it up to an error in the app, and be on the phone with the dealer to make sure everything is copacetic.

Well still have not shipped but I went ahead and got my current vehicle appraised and got my buyers order for the Bronco.

Now lets hope it is in before I start having to make payments on it.

Hope you guys locked in rates ahead of time.

Ford finally authorized my dealer to use the new VINView program. It will allow them not only to see the rail stops but also the truck route too.

Ask your dealer if they have access to VINView and if not have them contact Ford for access.

Edit: Started the journey on 10/10/2022 and ended on 11/07/2022 = 29 Days!
