THANKS!!! My sticker shows a blend date 20240412, Shipping = Convoy.

That’s great news, you’ll probably have yours before mine makes it far out of Michigan by train.

I swear Ford is ease dropping this site. I got an email this morning after I sent my email that it is built. Isn't it ironic.

Well, fudge. Mine says 'on hold' TBD. Anyone know a way to find out why? The last thing I want is a brand-new shitbox.

I would reach out to your salesperson and see if they can get anything additional.

Hum. Well certainly not great news. On hold, in the past, could mean some quality issue or supply/parts issue. I seem to recall the everglades and raptors are a bit unique in their build progress. It's my understanding some steps are done after the line? Your winch, snorkel, something like that...

Hopefully this is just related to some minor delay related to post line steps?

Definitely contact your dealer and get them to chase. They have a lot better access.

Good luck

I reached out to my dealership since they can get more shipping info than me. Mine is expected to be at the dealership between 4/24 and 4/30.

Still no movement on my tracker (still says in production) and no email from Ford. So yesterday I had emailed my sales guy I've been working with. No answer. Emailed him again this morning and didn't hear back so I called him. Of course, he's on vacation until the 22nd! Just my luck! Question is do I bother someone else or just wait until he's back from vacay to bother him.

It's your vehicle and your purchase. They shouldn't consider you a bother; you're excited to get it and they should be happy to help. Although I'm aware it's not always like that. Still...

I've not ever done it but you can always reach out to Ford chat for update or even contact Ford Customer Service. Others have had good luck with both options.

Glad yours seems to be on track.

My tracker still says in production, my dealer says it's built awaiting shipping, and received this email about an hour ago. Not too worried about it, probably an auto generated email that goes out when an order goes 1 week past blend but hasn't shown completed for some reason.

If it doesn't ship in the next week or so then I'll get more concerned about it.

Considering the inconsistency of the tracker and the process, I will get excited when I see it rolling of the carrier. I am not complaining. I seem to have been pretty lucky so far.

I was mostly joking about being a bother. I am just trying to exert some patience and wait. I figure wether I contact them and find out today or I find out next week I have to wait.

But instead I reached out to Ford chat and they told me that my Bronco was "produced" with an "estimated time of arrival as April 25 to May 1st" and also I should get in touch with my dealer as they may have more information. So I'm not sure if that means its shipped or shipping soon and that it could possibly be here that quickly. I think I'll wait to contact my sales guy once he's back from vacation (and I know its not a bother, lol) I'm happy with the info Ford chat provided. Sounds like its closer and closer!

The tracker is not only unreliable once in production, it's also inconsistent. Some of us seem to get updated while others do not. In my experience, it has nothing to do with your vehicle's actual status, (with a few rare exceptions).

It may not be too encouraging but, this process has been quite a bit speedier than early last year and much better than the early days. I know that's not much consolation but it means that we're truly on the home stretch. I know, easy for me to say but it's true. It won't be long.

For sure, I spent a lot of time reading others experiences going back to last summer and have felt like I was way ahead of where others had been last year so I am good. I should get mine sometime in May and that's ahead of when I thought I'd get it when I ordered in Feb.

Ok! Great news. 4/25 is next week baby. Even early the following week is pretty damn close. Time to start loading up on accessories and doo-dads to make it yours!

Any update?
You can always contact Ford Chat and/or Customer Service to try to get more info if you haven't already.
Good luck
