4/24/2023 Build Week

[Dantastic]

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?

 

[Pressurized]

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!

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.

In many other schedule threads, the comment has been made that once you receive your built status, the "real" wait begins...

I always said those people were dumb ... but boy was I wrong haha. I think it has a lot to do with now knowing your vehicle is physically out there now and the only thing keeping you from it is logistics. Before you were just in limbo (not knowing if it'll ever even come), so you could compartmentalize it and "turn it off."

just called marketing, no updates. Released and still waiting to ship.

She did give me the $100 gift card that others have gotten though so theres something.

Maybe by the end of the week? Has anyone had their forecasted arrival date pushed back?
