The mythical 2 door? Wow.

This just in: (from Packey Webb Downers Grove)

There is some light at the end of the tunnel! Our long awaited Bronco is starting to arrive.

We currently have our 2-door Wildtrak in Velocity Blue with the Sasquatch & Lux package available for test drives. Please give us a call at 630-598-4700 or reply to this email to schedule a time for a test drive. You won't believe it. Well worth the wait!

In addition, we have a 4-door Badlands in White on the lot. While this isn't available for a test drive, you are more than welcome to take a peek at it side by side our Wildtrak.

Here's from my dealer after telling me he has no way of knowing where I am in his allocation or what his allocation is:

"On the flip side, we did get in a First Edition Bronco and should be ready to be seen/sold sometime today."

Not sure if that means he's selling it to the public or if the person who ordered can finalize the purchase.

You think they'll let people without reservations with them test drive it?

Seems to be what they're suggesting.

Gotcha, couldn't remember if you mentioned you were going through them or elsewhere. Hopefully I can stop by and check it out this weekend!

I went to DeKalb (Manning).....GREAT service and decent price plus lower sales tax. I'm in St. Charles, and Hawk refused to communicate. Hopkins in Elgin was #2 choice, great folks. Haggerty in W. Chic not much on communication, either....didn't even try Naper/Aurora or points east and south.

I'm first on the list to get one in Gurnee. I hope to see it mid Aug. fingers crossed.

WT, Lux, MIC, Leather, Tow, upgraded front bumper and brush guard (all the sins)

I will go to Manning for my servicing (ended up buying at Granger), as I am also in St. Charles and was ignored by Hawk. I agree Hopkins were good folks for the couple times I bugged them to see colors on bronco sports. I am excited for any of us that get ours soon...mine now on a 7/15 build day (started at 6/14 and has moved 5 times now).

Got scheduled for a test drive at Packey Webb on Saturday at 10am!! Only one other person had a test drive scheduled saturday and that was at 11am

Anyone take delivery yet from Granger or Northern Illinois / Chicago area? I am interested to see those that have, and were shipped by "Rail," how long it took from the Blend date / date it was built to get to this area. I have a blend date of 7/16, to be shipped to Granger by rail, and am trying to get a handle on how long it might take. I do not want to apply for outside financing too early, and also am wondering possibility of getting it delivered within 8 days thereafter to take on our camping trip to Silver Lake Dunes (always the optimist).

How do you know your blend date? I have a build date of 7/21...what's the diff?

I got my window sticker this evening! The Blend date along the top has the YYYYMMDD code of 20210716, which others have indicated is the date it comes off the line.

Your build date should be the same or within a day or two of the blend date once your sticker is released. Mine showed today as in production, and then the sticker was available tonight. I am two weeks out, when most got their sticker about a week out, but Ross (Premierdrum) or someone else said it was likely because MAP is shut down next week, and orders scheduled the following week (mine) have been sent to the plant for sequencing or something a week early.

IIRC there is a post/thread floating around about how to get your rail car number and you can call up an automated number to see where it’s at. I believe Granger can give you the rail car number as well.
