Bronco Build Week 1/29/2024

[Dsmith2311]

I Just thought I would check and see if my window sticker populated yet and the crazy thing is it did. I won't be paying that 51k for mine though with me having the A plan I will be getting below MSRP.

Now that's awesome I hope they beat them good, I wish I was in the house, but I will be in the house for LSU vs USC game here in Columbia this year .

Was an awesome environment. Hate we let them back in it and lost but great game.

Man it was a hyped game even on tv, it was a lot that happened in the game but Van lith made some crucial turnovers at the wrong time. They will be alright though. I'm glad you got a chance to experience that.

Ran a visibility report again this afternoon on my Bronco at the dealership and finally got an update:

In Production

Sent to Plant

Ford Michigan Assembly Plant, MI

Jan-26-2024, 13:18 EST

TBD

TBD

N/A

I think my wife is still in denial its finally happening until a window sticker gets generated, still not showing one but the pizza tracker is looking hopeful as well.

Specs:
4 door - Soft Top - Wildtrak - Lux Package - Tow - Oxford White - Side Graphics - Removable Hoop Steps - Paint Protection Film - Cargo and Floor Mats

Was in the garage the other night looking at the current Bronco really wishing could keep both Broncos

That would require Marilyn leaving the family stable and that just can and will not ever happen

My Full Timeline:
Original Order:

Oxford White 4 door hard top Wildtrak with lux package, leather, towing capability, steel bumper, all the roof and door bags, all the rubber mats and the WT side graphics

-October 13, 2021: Original Order date.
-October 14, 2021: Order confirmation received.
-March 2022: Added HOSS 3.0 Fox package when it became available and removable hoop steps.
-September 2022: Converted order over to 2023 and towing capability option back to the order.

-January 20th 2023: 463 days since initial order confirmation email the Ford Cooperate Bronco Team contacted us by email with the $2,500 order modification offer to get picked up for production in 2023. I modified order to an eruption green 4 door soft top Badlands, 2.7L, 10-speed automatic, steel bumper, high package, marine grade vinyl, rubber mats, door bags, removable hoop steps and added the tube doors. Got hit with the 7 speaker and subwoofer delete and switched to the base 6 speaker stereo. Lost adaptive cruise, heated steering wheel, B&O stereo, hardtop, towing capability package, wireless charging pad, sport mode, sasquatch wheels and 4.7 rear axle. Gained electronic disconnecting front sta-bar, rock crawl mode and wash out flooring.
-February 1, 2023: Order began previewing at the factory
-February 2, 2023: 477 days after original order date. Received VIN number and order was picked up for production for the week of March 20, 2023.
-March 14, 2023 order sent to plant for production
-March 22, 2023 Bronco is currently showing number 540/882 going down the line with a blend date of -March 21, 2023 and an invoice date of March 14, 2023

-March 23, 2023 status shows produced, pizza tracker shows in production and BCE modules are showing loaded
-March 24, 2023 PCM modules are still not showing loaded but I do have a tear tag now, pizza tracker still shows in production and vehicle visibility report on the dealership side shows produced.
-March 27, 2023 Pizza tracker still shows in production and no ETA, dealership side shows produced 3/22. VinView freight tracking was last updated on 3/24 showing it with modem active sitting out in the yard waiting to go out. Hopping it just hasn't updated yet, it has shipped and updates again in Wentzville waiting to go on a truck here.
-April 22, 2023: Dealership is showing "delayed pending update" on their end and VinView freight tracking is showing "delayed" and last GPS modem update was 4/10 showing it sitting where they moved up on the top northwest corner of the parking lot.
-May 10, 2023: Last update was modem ping on 4/28 when they moved the Bronco out west of town to a gravel lot that appears to be a freight truck transport lot. Hoping maybe they gave up on rail and sent her on a truck. Pizza tracker still shows "in production", dealership is showing "delayed pending update", freight tracker shows "delayed", and Ford chat says its produced, not holding on anything and working on being shipped.
-May 30, 2023: Modem pinged in same location as it did last time.
-June 7, 2023: "Hello, The MAP team has advised us that the Bronco is at one of their offsite storage yards and is currently not in shippable status, still on some plant holds. They could only share that the vehicle was not currently in shippable status, I’m not really sure what the specifics of the holds are or why its not in shippable status". Then after reaching out to the rep, the dealership was told the Bronco is held up in quality control and cannot be expedited.
-June 19, 2023: Bronco was officially liberated and released of holds
-June 20, 2023: Pizza tracker shows the Bronco was scheduled week of 3/21, in production on 3/22 and built on 6/19. Pizza tracker updated to produced.
-June 22, 2023: Update shows loaded onto railcar #TTGX 986467 and rail trip started with an ETA of 07/03/2023 - 07/16/2023 on pizza tracker and 7/9 on everything else.
-June 23, 2023: Shipped email came through and pizza tracker updated to shipped. Only two things left is assembly line birth photo and the Bronco
-July 1, 2023: Bronco landed in Wentzville
-July 2, 2023: Bronco unloaded from railcar
-July 5, 2023: While waiting for Bronco to be delivered to dealership and after it sit at MAP on holds for 3 months we were notified the Bronco got hit this morning with ”Compliance Recall 23C16 – New Vehicle Demonstration/Delivery Hold for Seat Belt Latch Plate Access”. They are showing no way they can order or do anything to fulfill the delivery hold and that it might land in limbo..
-July 27, 2023: Purchase Date

March 27, 2023:
We replaced my wifes Wildtrak order under her name all over again exactly how she wants it.
-Oxford White 4 door hard top Wildtrak with lux package, leather, towing capability, steel bumper, all the roof and door bags, all the rubber mats and the WT side graphics.
We will enjoy the Badlands until it gets picked up for production and gets here.

Side Note: The Badlands has been flawless 5,000 miles and going on 6 months in. Has changed alot of my thoughts on Bronco, truly the 2.7L Badlands, non SAS in its stock form is just perfect for a daily right out of the box. That inch more travel makes a big difference all around. I would not want to do anything to lift or stiffen the suspension at all. Have just left it alone other than things like tailgate table, lighting upgrades and interior stuff. Well done Ford MAP Team, well done!! That being said, my wife is dying to get her adaptive cruise back and with her being significantly taller than me I have definitely put the seat hand crank through its paces. Truly wish we could keep both, the Badlands for me and the Wildtrak for my wife but I keep an S550 GT Premium for my pleasure pony. She has the dirt pony and I have the road pony, two very different animals
A few things we did find was we love the soft top and have removed that from our Wildtrak order as well as leather, we have fallen in love with the marine grade vinyl so I swapped that into our Wildtrak order.

October 25, 2023:
Order Confirmed for a 2024. I had to flip the Wildtrak order over to a 2024 essentially losing the marine grade vinyl that we were excited about being able to keep when we switched Broncos but it is what it is.

November 30, 2023:
Wildtrak order began previewing at the factory

December 1st, 2023:
Wildtrak order is scheduled for production for week of 1/29/2024 in pizza tracker
Last update : Dec-16-2023, 08:45 EST, Showing "Scheduled to Day (Jan-31-2024)" Last 4 of the VIN: RLA09586. This is truly a specific Bronco and packaging my wife has waited since October 13, 2021 for from original order date to now.

Update on build week. All still says the same but I ran a vehicle visibility report on it at the dealership and my last update still says Dec 16th but now my date on there says: Scheduled to Day (Feb-02-2024) followed by TBD on my start and end date and N/A on my ETA..

January 26th, 2024:

Things are finally getting real, no window sticker yet at this time, no modules showing populated on the as built page, Pizza Tracker now shows "In Production"


Praying everything is as perfect as the Badlands has been because I have a feeling she will not want to let this next one go for many moons as much as she has fallen in love with this green one 'Bob Moss. It's just that adaptive cruise, heated wheel, auto hold, power seat and nice stereo that are things we have honestly both grown to love in our prior 2020 Explorer and 2022 F-150 before the Bronco fever started

I have been showing a build week of 1/29, and now the green dot shows In Production.
The button to see my window sticker is still not showing at the bottom of the screen.
Is there another way to find it?

Put your VIN after the "=" using this link. https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=

Mine just went into production as well. No window sticker.

Likely available tomorrow or Monday at latest. It usually takes 1 day after moving to production to show up.

 

[Psyched2go]

Just moved to “In Production” this morning and the window sticker became available several hours later. The window sticker shows an actual blend date of 2/2/24.

If you send me your VIN, I can see if I can pull it from the Ford service side like I just was able to finally do with mine a little bit ago my blend date is showing 2/2 and I am 1323/1389 in line

Sure did! Got my window sticker this morning, also blend date of 2/2

It's finally our week! Congrats to everyone for reaching this point. Keep the group posted as your Bronco moves through your blend date, completes its build, and is shipped. If you followed any of the previous build threads from January you'll know that the tracker is often a few days late in providing your status as are the email and text notifications (so don’t get discouraged). When you see your modules turn on and then your tear tag is generated then you'll know it's built. Ford chat is a good option for an up to date status - The Official Ford Support Site | Ford Owner Support. Here are other notes from previous posts that may help.

And lastly to see if it’s scheduled on the Convoy (Truck not Rail) to your Dealer!

https://palsapp.com


If you are going by rail, it’s more complicated…

First you will need the rail car letters and numbers. It is on the visibility report or DORA which is from the dealership. You MAY be able to get it from the SVT people but they seem often in a cranky mood and may tell you to get it from the dealer.

There are two major rail companies (but all start out on CSX):

• CSX is everything east of the mississippi
• UP is everything west of the mississippi

So, how do you track your truck on a railcar?

First and most important. Never talk to live personnel at the railroad! Only use automated phone system. If it attempts to transfer you to a live person please hang up. The railcar information we are provided by is given as a courtesy and if we call live personnel we may lose the access and ability to track.

CSX

1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352

2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.

3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt.

4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is)

5. When prompted for next car say DONE.

6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.


Union Pacific

1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123 1 800 877-5123

2. Follow phone prompts for Trace

3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example CN123456 all together

4. Listen for your update


NS Norfolk Southern

1. Call 800-635-5768

2. Press 2.

3. Press 2.

4. Enter the letters on the numeric keypad then press #. As in: TTGX will be 8849

5. Enter the numbers then press #. It wasn't taking my voice prompts but typing worked.

So what should the Modules page it look like during production? I get the below screen right now, wil the PCM and BCE Module sections show data once the car is built?

Yes, they will start coming online (often referred to on this forum as "popping"). It means they are live.

Anyone with a 1/29 blend date see a status change or modules pop yet?
