4/24/2023 Build Week

Sent a message to my dealership to get an update. Here was his response:

“I did just find a new ford transportation report this morning that is telling me that there is a large back log of unshippable vehicle currently at the Michigan assembly plant, it is also telling me that there is way above normal levels of shippable vehicles at plant that ford hasn’t been able to ship to dealers yet as they are currently experiencing a shortage of available rail cars to move the vehicles across the country.”

I would love to know what makes a bronco "unshippable" ...

Guess #1- Heritage Editions with bad tops

Guess #2- A cut off in production to built releases until they do the seatbelt recall nonsense.

How long is dealer prep and what exactly are they doing ?

 

[The Bronc]

Pre-delivery inspection, unwrapping the plastics off interior, taking off stickers, washing the outside, dealers badge, etc.

Finally, got a railcar # TTGX 255 824
Figured it out it's in... Gibson, Indiana.

Are you sure the bot heard the correct railcar? That is too odd.

Love all those things except dealer badge.

I have already reached out and requested they do the pre-delivery inspection and only remove what has to be removed so that I am not voiding any warranties or claims, but have requested the privilege to "unwrap" and wash my Bronco for the first time with my kids. I also asked them not to badge it. I am not nuts about giving free advertising.

It actually says it arrived in Vancouver on 5/4 before my Bronco even shipped. I must be using the wrong tracker.

User error!! Called the wrong place instead of CSX I called Norfolk Southern.

Hi everyone, so I only live about 30 minutes from the plant and so I did a drive by, just to see if I could see my bronco.... I will tell you they have a ton of broncos in the two yards along with rangers and mavericks waiting to be shipped by rail car and by truck. Mine supposedly was to ship between May 11 and 17th, that did not happen. So I did a 10 minute detour. Just to see my bronco or to have some hope that it is coming lol.... low and behold I think I saw mine not 100 percent sure, but like to think that, but my husband took pictures before security saw us lol. They had 10 Trucks loaded and a rail car that looked like it was getting ready to get loaded.... hope this brings you guys hope like it did me

JFC... Could they have a worse voice recognition system????

Sneaky spy update for us on 4/24 only!!!

For CSX, use this number 1-877-744-7279. The BOT is better, same function, but everything is clearer... Not perfect, but a whole lot better.
