I don't seem to recall anyone saying vintage Bronco's looked bad w/out the tire. I'd guess 90% of them don't have one, mine didn't. I drove mine daily for 20+ years and never needed the spare, although I'd throw it in if I was going hunting or serious off-roading.
I was a bit bewildered it took so long, there was a shipping mistake that got it hung up in California for a while, then it disappeared again. Amazingly, after being loaded and unloaded, then loaded again onto two different railcars, it arrived seemingly unscathed.
In case anyone else in the PNW is interested, we are having our annual Cruise-In next Saturday. (errr... used to be annual until Covid!) The PTW Spring Classic is a free event & open to everyone so bring your Broncos!!
My Bronco shipped on 3/4, talked to the Dealer yesterday and it finally arrived. I'm picking it up today!!!!!!!! I'll update the spreadsheet once I have it.
Nice rig, looks like mine is identical sans roof racks. Congrats! Mine shipped on 3/4 to PDX and is still lost on a railcar somewhere, glad at least some are making it to the PNW.
It's the gift that keeps on giving... I received a shipped email from Ford on 3/4 with an ETA on rail by 3/31. Turns out someone at Ford messed up and sent it to California by mistake. It's been sitting in a rail yard for two weeks with no info from Ford (surprise, surprise) No idea how long...
Yes, it does there but the other tracker @ https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId= still lists it as "In Production" I checked with my dealer and he gave me the rail car # so I'll presume the 1st tracker is accurate
To give hope to everyone that lost their EDD as I did earlier this week, I just received a shipped email from Ford. Supposed to arrive by the end of the month. Now I'll have to dig through this thread to find out how to track by rail...
Suffering through this like everyone else, reading these posts seem to help a bit... My EDD finally changed for the first time today, whatever that means.
On the bright side, I parlayed this delay into talking the wife into a BroncoRodeo trip for us!
