I contacted Ford chat yesterday and received my railcar #. The phone system is annoying for tracking. Even with good dictation, it would not receive the proper letters. When I said C it would reply back E or X it would reply with S, etc. I finally figured out the trick on how to dial it in...
Depends... when did you order?
The negative is you will most likely pay more for the soft-top Wildtrak that is not your exact build. Even though it is at MSRP, the dealer will probably not honor any price protection and if you ordered a MY22 or older you would lose all your private offer...
A 2.3L Big Bend 4-door Sasquatch/Hardtop/Modular Bumper/Tow/Engine Block Heater (Not sure why you get this in Houston) just showed up at the dealer that had a blend date of 5/30. So that means it takes about 3 weeks once shipped to get to Houston if this one shipped within a few days of being...
Dealer reached out to me today unsolicited. I know, shocker! He showed me the Bronco was built and released for shipping in the system. The estimated ship date shown is between July 8th and 14th. That will keep me free from checking the tracker daily for a few days.
I did get the built email this morning—a day after the tracker was updated and two days after it was dated built. I hope this is progress, not just a checked box and then it sits in dirt mountain for a few more weeks/months before getting shipped.
Sending positive vibes to those still waiting...
My best guess is that there were QC issues with the axles. Mine must have passed QC because I had my dealer look to see if that was my holdup. The Ford Guy had stated that extra QC steps were being done recently but didn't exactly specify what and why.
Other threads were guessing that it...
Well, well, well… would you look at that. Finally built and one step closer!
Coincidently, for those following along, my trade-in car that got in a minor fender bender will be ready today for pickup.
So a Robin's Blue 4DR HLE just appeared on my dealer's site. It has a blend date of 6/23. MSRP is $73,455. I think someone at the dealer already has a claim to it. Interesting that it is showing up despite being a few days away from the blend date.
Is the expectation now going to be that it is going to take 45+ days for the supply chain issues to start slowly being resolved? 45 days is such an arbitrary number. How about at least once a month? How about being completely transparent? How are other build weeks getting passed over, while...
