I’m in a similar boat. Recently retired from cybersecurity, though I’m only 42 and have a hard time sitting still, so retirement really just means looking for the next adventure. The idea of entering the automotive world is super appealing. I don’t have any direct experience with manufacturing...

They’re currently the only player in the game. Can’t expect a lot of extra-mile from them until some competition shows up. Some competition really should show up…

Awesome! Thank you so much. These are indeed the files I have been looking for. Without an established brand (yet) I’m pretty sure my application will get rejected… any ideas on how to get access for a bootstrap startup or DIY project? Or just another route to the same data?

I’m hoping this forum is the right one - and I’m hoping someone here knows the correct terms. My Google-Fu is failing me. I’m considering taking a stab at making some exterior and interior Bronco accessories. Everything from storage to bumpers and racks are on my hypothetical list. For sure to...

So my dealer called about an hour ago and says the shipping company told him my bronco will be there tomorrow. No updates to tracker since the delivery window shifted for the second time. Been sitting at the rail yard over a week… tomorrow might just be the day, though. I will drink to that (and...

Sounds right to me. BTW I’m pretty jealous of the HOSS 3.0 upgrade. The last time I edited my order in Jan 22, it was a greyed out option. Now I know that’s because I didn’t have a Wildtrak. Knowing what I know now I would have happily switched… enjoy your new ride when it comes :)

I’m pretty sure that’s only for MY22.5 pricing, and unless he got built and delivered at record speed, he is almost certainly buying a MY22. Edit: yours also should have MY22 pricing (orders for which opened in 2021). If your dealer knows how to get MY21 pricing on a MY22 order without a...

Exactly. The top paragraph in your screenshot has the more specific date.

Same here - at alliance since 4/8. My window sticker also updated to 4/13, then back to 4/8. It’s like they know we are watching them and they are having a bit of a laugh.

The cutoff date is March 2021, as I understand it. Your order was placed well past that. Sorry :(

Mine updated to “empty, released by customer” on Monday. Dealer still didn’t have it at COB today (Wednesday). This is pretty frustrating.

Thanks for this. I just can’t get my eyes to appreciate the slanted rear of the trek top. It looks silly to me. Plus the loss of cargo space in the back seems troublesome for an adventure vehicle. I never wanted a soft top anyway, but foolishly changed my order to get mine in less than 2 years…...

Yeah it’s the big one around here. Apparently so big that it can take a really long time to get from there to a dealer. Tomorrow will be 8 days since it arrived there. Last WS update was 4 days ago. My dealer is Bill Utter in Denton

How late in the game are you? If you don’t have a VIN, build week, etc you can still change everything about your order without losing your order date.

hopefully this info isn't repetitive and is helpful to someone - Wednesday my railcar status via the CSX voice system changed to "arrived in Alliance, TX" and today it changed to "delivered to customer" then again to "empty, released by customer". My dealer says they still don't have it and...

any idea what material(s) this thing is made of? looks like perhaps a combo of aluminum and plastic... really just a guess, though. considering a DIY option for my BL

Somehow they still have a 4.1 rating on Google. Let’s see what we can do about that.

I tried that at Alliance, TX yesterday. I found the BNSF auto transfer facility and lots of new cars in the lot. Quite a few broncos. But, the way that place is laid out you can’t see much of the yard without going past the “authorized only” signs. So… I saw some people’s new broncos, just not...

48 hours sitting at the railyard and counting. I know some have waited longer... just sharing the misery :). I was hoping to get it today so we could break it in this weekend when we road trip to Houston. Right now it looks like the Super Duty will be serving that purpose instead.

FYI, Calling the CSX automated system to track railcars is somewhat suspect. Two days ago (April 6) the system told me my railcar arrived at BNSF Alliance railyard April 6. Today the same message, but it says it arrived April 8 (today). Both times, the timestamp was actually a few minutes...
