They just got back to me. They said that it typically takes 4 - 5 days (recently) for the truck to make its way to the front of the pack of vehicles being unloaded at the railyard, then picked up by their transport, and brought to the dealership.

Hopefully it will work out that way. At this point if I could I would bribe my sales guy with a steak dinner if it would help.

Sheesh, they must have a lot of cars sitting there. Sad that they don't have enough trucks to bring these cars on a regular basis. I wonder if it's like that here in Houston as well.

Still no update since this morning. Bronco is still at Alliance, TX waiting to finish its journey to Pearland, TX. Hopefully tomorrow there will be some movement.

I drove through the dealership like a creeper today to see if ours showed up and didn’t see it, but when I checked the pizza tracker around 6pm it had changed from ship to final preparation. Hopefully that means it was on the lot and just in the back somewhere or it will be delivered tomorrow. Either way I think this ride is almost over. That puts it at 4-5 days from arrival at the rail yard, and still in Ford’s original delivery window time.

Looks like Ford threw another dart at the delivery window dart board. Now they have extended it to 1/13. This is starting to get ridiculous.

Thats still a long time to be at the rail yard. I think mine will get there by tonight but I hope the dealership picks it up either tomorrow or Wednesday.

I agree, it is a long time. Mine showed up about 2am last Tuesday morning, so hopefully yours does these same.

Yours went to Pearland?

 

[bclark80]

Yes

 

[Ewebster]

Yes

I guess we will find out soon ha. Another guy I follow says his took 2 days to get to the dealership from the rail yard. Another guy said his took 3 weeks.

 

[scottfwalter]

Hang in there!

Thanks. Ford and the dealer don't make it easy.

I hope this is accurate but I haven't been able to get a hold of my dealer:

I may need to do a stealth drive-by to see if it's actually there.

I would! One more time won't hurt lol. I'm pretty sure the dealership knows my truck by now. Even the other Salesman and mechanics already know me by name from me being up there so much.
