4/24/2023 Build Week

[Dantastic]

Any of your trackers down this morning?? Remember what happened last Sunday when some of our trackers went down?

Sunday is maintenance day for the tracker, so it often goes down.

I was able to log on first thing this morning and it worked for me. However I am still in “built” status. I hoping it will ship this week!

It is perplexing…are we simply at the beginning of the line for a new round of shipping? My window is 5/24-5/30. My son graduates from high school 5/27 and my brother and other family members whom I see very little are coming into town. I was hoping it would arrive before or on 5/27. There is still hope, but there is little sand in the hour glass. I am in Nashville, TN, so I am ruling out location as the cause for delay. We have a HUGE rail yard in town. Again, they may simply be loading rail cars until they have a “full” train.

My wife is due end of June with our daughter. Really hoping to have the car before then …

I was reading another forum on the f150 site that talked about the dumb way they load the trains and it having nothing to do with priority of wait. If you get built at the end of the cycle and just miss the train, you’ll be at the back of the lot. They’ll fill the train front of lot to back. So if you are way in the back, you can get passed over a few times resulting in significant delays. Hence why it seems sometimes people get quick ships randomly vs long waits for others. Just a luck of what’s going on the moment yours is built. It could roll off the line and end up being loaded right onto a train without making it to the lot.

This is the BIGGEST downer, but makes sense. Good grief…just get on with it already!! I seriously wish picking it up at the plant was an option. I wonder what the take rate on that would be?

So my bronco arrived at final rail yard in mass today (hour and a half away from dealership)
Anyone have experience how long it can sit there before going to dealership?

Anyone volunteered as tribute to bother Ford Marketing for an update on Shipping today?

I just called, they told me mine was waiting in Omaha for a truck to deliver it to the dealer.

Same here... Still in Built status and still sitting in the shipping yard, on it's 14th day there.

What Ford chatbot is best to use? The one I just tried said they couldn't help with tracking and offered no alternative.

I call Ford Marketing at 8003344375 ... reason for calling, "Order Status" and then "Bronco". It should get you to the Marketing team, and they have a little more details about your status than what the tracker provides.

So you are showing “built” still and not shipped, but they confirmed that your Bronco has shipped?

No. I am still showing as "built" in the tracker. Last status update I got from Ford Marketing was on Friday with the 'ole "Built and released to carrier waiting to be shipped." Haven't called today, as it doesn't look like any build dates/weeks around us have said anything about shipping notifications today.

Weather up in interior BC is getting really beautiful now. My ‘94 f250 isn’t super reliable anymore so I can be going out adventuring with my dogs and camping and stuff.
I really hope I have my bronco for this summer. I imagine I will.

but this limbo makes it feel like it’s going to be forever.
