[ConstBroncoNC]

Still thinking about that green OBX here local. Maybe get some white detail panels, white grill, maybe wrap the hard top white.

Going crazy. My Mean Green Machine has been sitting out of the rail car for a week!!! Only 200 miles away and my dealer has no idea when a transport will get it to the dealership. I asked if it would be another week? He says .... just don't know. Can't say. Is there any way to urge Ford on a situation like this? ARGHH!

Mine was unloaded last Tuesday at 5 am. Still sitting there 60 miles away from me.

Drove the Bronco to work today. Gas mileage was nice for mostly highway miles with some stop go on the afternoon commute.

I shudder at that commute here in Los Angeles - would be 3-4 hours! LOL!
Why a check engine light already?

That’s because I just hit the start button without starting the bronco just the accessory power. That’s southeastern NC from my house out in the country to Southport for work. Only gets bad when all the tourist at piling in Southport for who knows what. And we are getting too many northern transplants building sub divisions everywhere.

Received "vehicle has been built" email from Ford this evening.

Mines finally in Virginia as of 9pm . I’m guessing it’ll be here by the weekend. Preferably before the hurricane/tropical storm to NC haha.

anyone know what the dealer does once they receive the car? I’ve already told my dealer I don’t want any branding stickers or anything. Im not doing free advertisement.

That's really good mileage! Did you get the advanced transfer case?

Come on Ford lets get strata86 taken care of!

My Bronco has been sitting in Baltimore since Sunday about 60 miles from the final yard. Now saying it will get there on the 31st. I imagine that this will be the last segment and then waiting for a convoy to get to my dealer.

Does the railcar tracking system tell you when a car is unloaded? My railcar has been sitting just south of Seattle in the location where they unload BNSF cars, been there since the 26th.

On the 27th and even today it keeps telling me the railcar departed that location on the date I call with no ETA. There’s a kazillion ‘check points’ it would have passed if it was actually on the way to somewhere (unless they stop reporting once it’s unloaded) so I’m not sure if the Bronco was unloaded or what’s going on.

Mine just updated to saying the railcar was placed. So I’m guessing the next update will be that it has been unloaded.
