I called the United Road dispatcher for the local yard and he offered to let my dealer come pick it up. My salesman was ready to go with me and do it. Then he called me to say the owner of the dealership said no. They didn't want the liability. It sat for another week before I took delivery.

Sunnyside in Holden honored MSRP when I took delivery last month. Not sure if that applies to new orders though.

Mine sat in Spencer / E Brookfield for over a week, despite the dealer being 20 minutes away. I ended up having a good conversation with the United Road dispatcher located in Ayer, MA and he was sympathetic with my long wait, but was struggling to find drivers for all of his deliveries and not...

Great sounding exhaust. I wondered if this was the same AWE that installed my Passat suspension back in 2000 in PA, in a little shop near the Naval Air Station. It was a great experience, working directly with the owner back then, who I think did the work himself. I felt so lucky to live down...

I have read that you could wear out the center clutch sooner by leaving it in 4A all of the time vs. 2H, based on similar systems in other vehicles. The Broncos equipped with 4A have both a fluid clutch AND locking capability in the same transfer case. 2H will fully disengage the clutch...

I noticed the same thing when testing 4A and 4H back to back in the snow. 4A isn't as responsive as the AWD-only systems in my other cars. It could be a laggy clutch in the transfer case, slow logic in the computer, imprecise wheel speed sensoring, or a combination of all three I suppose...

There's a big automobile rail yard in East Brookfield, MA, which is where my dealer gets most of their Fords. There's another yard in Ayer, MA. Not sure if those yards are serving NH dealers. I was able to track my Bronco from the factory on CSX rail. There are instructions here on the forum...

Ours came by train to central MA, which took about a week from receiving the shipped email. It took another week for a truck to bring it 15 miles to the dealership

Welp, for those of us that remain, there is hope. I signed the paperwork yesterday and should have my Bronco this morning. The owner of the dealership stopped my salesman from picking up my Bronco last week at the rail yard, even though United Road made a "holiday exception" to allow us to pick...

United Road is going to make an exception for the holidays. Looks like me and my salesman are driving to the rail yard together to pick up my Bronco and drive it to the dealership today. :D

Similar struggle here regarding our 80 series LC. My wife and I agreed to at least hold onto it until after we have the Bronco for awhile. Driveway crowding is the main concern.

My Bronco and two Mavericks were the only cars waiting to be hauled to my dealer since Sunday. OVISS just notified me that the two Mavericks were delivered. Bronco is still "Pending Pickup" WTH!? I was prepared to wait until next week, but this is maddening 😫 Did they not have room?

I found a matching 2DR Carbonized Gray in the background in the 11/29 thread (thanks @ALCO44). Interesting, I definitely didn't roll off the line on 11/29 when my mods popped. Also interesting is that nobody from 12/6 seems to have a build photo yet.

Mine shipped out two weeks later than most of 11/22, so I'm not even sure this was my first time through the photo booth. If I had time I would go through the build photos from a later build week and see if the same 2DR Carbonized Gray SAS is there in the holding area to get a better idea of...

I imagined myself as the dealer with an anxious customer trying to get their vehicle before Christmas, without misrepresenting myself. The dispatch guy didn't seem to care much, but obviously deals with such requests all the time. I didn't beg to be scheduled. Yet :unsure:

Just got this from Ford. Mine is still at the rail yard 20 minutes away. Just talked to UR dispatch (something my salesman claimed wasn't possible) and they pointed to the holidays and no ETA.... I can wait until next week if I have to. This photo is pretty cool.

Ford usually does. My trucking order was entered by Ford in the OVISS system the same day that my window sticker popped.

Railcar arrived last night according to CSX Touch Trace, and 'pending pickup' status popped on United Road site this afternoon. I suppose this means it is now unloaded and sitting in the intermodal lot? Past deliveries to my dealer have taken 2-5 days from this point according to the OVISS...

Yesterday she was in Buffalo, and I wake this morning to "Departed for East Brookfield Massachusetts". Thats the drop off point! Holy crap 😛

Meanwhile, on the East Coast: the turkey day holdover with a Sas package took all week to round Lake Erie, but at least we're making progress. Currently sitting in Buffalo. A Christmas miracle is still theoretically possible... If not for those pesky train yards every few miles on the way to...
