10/31/2022 build week group

[Ellager Eened]

Do all of you from end of October have trailer tow packs that are waiting for updates???

I do not. I am thinking I got pushed back a little, as ford tracker is showing an in-production date of 11/03 and a build date of 11/07. WS stated a blend of 11/2 so not sure if that is what happened. Have been showing awaiting shipment for over a week. I was really hoping it would be here by this week, it is just a short trip around the lake for me

EDIT: Ford Chat stated that my bronco is all set to ship, just waiting on transport with a delivery date to Wisconsin no later than 11/28.

I'm shocked that i didnt get help up then since i have Badlands, no squatch and lux package with mod front bumper and hard top if its all chip hold stuff :/

Reach out to the online chat and see what they say! I hope for your sake you aren't. Thought we were past chip holds. Boggles my mind that they know how many modules they have, how many cars are going down the line, and they still run out of parts!

Per Ford chat online " The Raptor is technically Primary: In Production, Secondary: Produced. Likely it means the vehicle is out of production, however it has not been released from the plant. Once released it will no longer carry the in production primary tag. Essentially, it is still technically considered in production until the plant releases the vehicle."

I found a scanner (AEI locations) map for Norfolk Southern:

Last I checked, the rail car location is a couple hours out from the auto distribution center where it will get picked up by truck and taken to the dealer. Joy, it's early delivery!

Sorry about the chip hold for some of you, I doubt it will be long, they don't want to create the mountain again.

Oh boy - I should mention this was a dealers storage lot....but it looks like a mix of brands...

I have had a 11/2 blend date.
I just looked on ordertrack.app and it says ‘In Transit’ and the Ford Tracker shows ‘Shipped’ by Convoy to @StephensAutoCenter in WV.
Nice surprise since Ford Chat told me yesterday that the arrival was 11/26-12/4.

I canceled my flight this Saturday from Boston yesterday after hearing the news. Now there’s a slim chance of it coming in.

I had trailer tow and am on a train half way to destination.

In sorting the table data in the build week sheet, Lux is the predominant option level and there were very few bumped who had Lux. Conversely, none, Mid and High started with about 1/3 the allotment as Lux AND had about half of their original 10/31 allocations bumped to later weeks. These three also have more 'table abandoners' or people who just haven't kept up on updating their table data.

One could speculate that Ford crammed too many Lux builds into the 10/31 week and ran out of chips?

Again, we're dealing with a sample size that we are not confident is representative of the full dataset, but, well, it's one way to go.

While being stuck in limbo as other have been with Blend date of 11/4, I started to do some research on financing rates. With an unfriendly rate environment and no incentives on in demand vehicles I thought I would be paying through the nose.

I found a local credit union that I can join, establish direct deposit, get a credit card and set up direct deposit and I can get my rate down to 2.49% 5 year term. Note that I found that the big bulge banks are offering rates @5% (5yr plus terms) and that is if you have a excellent credit score.

Hope that helps those that are going to be shopping for a loan.

Now I can go back to hitting refresh on the pizza tracker and hoping for a change in status.

The first Granger-bound load has finally made it to Omaha! From previous threads I think we switch to truck delivery from here. May the odds be ever in our favor, and our butts soon be in driver seats.

Update: As of midday Nov 15, the tracking now shows as "in Customer location"

I checked the status of the rail car number I got from Samantha at Granger and it shows "in Customer location" in Omaha as of yesterday at noon. I think that status is from the railroad's perspective. Sounds like it goes from Omaha to Granger by truck now? It doesn't sound like Granger has access to VINView for GPS based tracking.

Believe I am on the same train as you. Has anyone from Granger reached out yet to get the paperwork process started?

I pinged Samantha earlier today to ask about when I could get a signed purchase order (to start the financing on my side). Haven't heard back yet but when I do I'll ping here. There are obviously risks here if for whatever reason the Bronco doesn't make it to Granger, etc. I'm prepared for them to tell me they wont get anything to me before the Bronco is on their lot which is pragmatic on their part.

I was an 11/4 blend date, had my modules and tear tag pop on 11/9. I've been in production ever since. Stopped by my dealer for an update and he said Ford has me listed as "Microchip hold at plant". I have an estimated delivery between now and December 10th.

I wonder how can I have modules and a tear tag but still be on a chip hold at plant? I'm Lux/Hoss3.0/Tow/MIC

Could be an HVAC control module, screen control module etc. Only the body control module and power train control module show up on the Motorcraft website.

I do have the tow package, but I believe it's the chips we're waiting for at this point
