Day 9 of it just sitting in an Indiana rail yard with zero updates. Love this process.

So close, but yet so far. I’m now in day 10 of it sitting in a rail yard in Indiana. Zero updates; almost zero chance that it comes in my delivery window. If Ford is getting more and more into the order taking business, then they have to get better at communicating steps and expectations to...

I just ended day 8 of it sitting in a rail yard in Indiana (I’m in KC). Literally zero shipping progress in 8 days. Back on the 16th, I thought I’d easily have it by Thanksgiving. Now it’s looking like next week is all but a certainty. So bummed.

I’m in the same boat. CSX says mine hasn’t moved since 11/16 (8 days ago); dealer says they don’t have any optics into shipping ”once it hits Chicago”. In their eyes, they don’t have a way to provide an update between Chicago and KC.

So frustrated. Did my daily CSX check and my Bronco is STILL sitting in the Gibson Indiana train yard (since the 18th). Doesn’t it seem odd to sit there for now its 6th DAY??

$75 doc fee is very good. Obviously that varies by dealer and region specific (kind of - meaning that they tend to be close to each other in the same city), but that’s very low.

Badabum tisssh - try the veal; tip your waitress.

That's exactly my mindset too. anything after 3:00pm tomorrow and everyone will be in Thanksgiving brain and nothing new will happen until Saturday.

Welp - mine has been sitting in the Gibson Indiana rail yard since Thursday. No idea why. Based on the spreadsheet, once the Bronco is shipped - many people's delivery beats the estimate by 3 days or so. Looks like my window was conservative and it will be after 11/26.

Who here can drive a semi? I could probably figure it out. Oh - wait. You probably mean legally. My bad.

Just checked CSX… still sitting in Gibson Indiana train yard for the past 2 days. My hope of taking possession of this before Thanksgiving is fading…

thank you. I had thought that was the case and good to know I’m not going crazy! (Well - at least not from this)

Nope. It is a friend of the general manager and he said he could put it on the floor for a little bit. I guess he’s been offered $20k over MSRP and declined it.

Stopped by my dealership today just to see what he knew. I “thought” they had a screen that showed all the intermittent stops during the in-transit shipping process. (I still swear that I’ve seen that before) Anyway - turns out he knew less than what I’ve already researched. Good dude, just...

Different strokes for different folks I guess. The other color that I considered, and kind of regret not getting, is cactus gray. My own opinion is that is looks better on the actual car than the rendering/canvas. Obviously in the eye of the beholder and there is no ”right” answer. Hope you...

Are you not liking the color anymore in comparison to the original renderings? I will say that I’ve seen the Area 51 in the wild and thought the color looked better in person than in pictures.

What date did yours ship?

That is very good to know. Thank you!

I'm not understanding the rail method to go from MAP to KC. Seems like it is stopping for a day at each little trail yard along the way. In 6 days, it's gone from MAP -> Chicago -> Blue Island, IL -> Gibson Railyard (Hammond), IN. Seems like at that pace it will take 3 weeks to get to KC...

Per the CSX helpline, my Bronco is in Blue Island, Illinois. With next week being a holiday week, I was hoping the delivery would happen on the early side of my delivery window (11/20) vs the later end. Doesn't look like I'll get my wish. I just don' t see if getting from Blue Island...
