4/24/2023 Build Week

[Buckethead]

2dr OBX, built 5/5. 3 hours from plant.

I'm not sure what's worse...

1.) Checking the tracker 30 times a day.
2.) Knowing Bronco is sitting at MAP for no reason, collecting dust.

OR...MOST LIKELY...

3.) Seeing all you folks getting shipped and delivered.

Ugh. As someone who gets things done, it's all torture. Would just love to know why "mine" specifically is not loaded. ...just a straight, honest explanation.

International shipping adds 6months…. The blue water bridge is looooooooong!!!!

Mine was LVY2 (so maybe a day behind?)
Mine is a BL, manual, Lux, dual tops, tow, non-SAS

Ford Marketing Rep just called me to let me know my Bronco is in Attica, Indiana. Based on Google Maps, it's made some pretty good distance since shipping 5/31 and Attica looks to be a little over half way to the final destination:

Not the same car, but sounds like we are rolling with the same train! Just checked the CSX phone system and it’s moving along through North Dakota…

heck yeah, we are finally covering some good ground since leaving Minneapolis yesterday evening. Current update is departed Minot, ND

We've made more westward progress in 24 hours than in the previous week

Mine will be made in the Michigan Plant too! I heard Convoy is better than rail! Get the car much faster

Convoys are less prone to delays and can go straight to a dealer. With trains, they are subject to a convoy to get shuttled to and from the train stations from the plant and to the dealer once at final train stop. Mine is on a train in Indiana on route to St. Louis.

Lol i should not have asked. Now im searching how far is Stockton AZ to Miraloma by rail... 5 hour drive... so not too far..

Pretty sure mine made it from TX to CA faster than it did through the 909/951

Glad we at least got ours scheduled and built. The West cost ports are about to shut down again. I foresee lots of stop works for Broncos in the fall.

Oh? What’s going on with the west coast ports?

Best of luck tomorrow and hope to hear some good news.

I've got a Bronco in the driveway. Was in a rush to get it home and get back to work so no more pics. Maybe this weekend...It is sweet though, and just as surreal as you have all imagined driving it home and parking it...staring back at it as you head for the front door...stopping a while and staring some more.

Bottom line tip for anyone without an ironed out price with dealer upon delivery.

Don't try to mince Private Offer (Column A/B) with RPP (other columns). Private Offer applies to Bronco only, RPP applies to all special order vehicles sold to original order holder...not a new thing with Ford. Once my dealer confirmed using November 2022 DORA price minus Private Offer was the easy method, they were good to go. It comes down to what they will be invoiced from Ford. Anyways, FWIW, hope that's helpful.

Good luck to all still in the process!

Technically, it's not real difficult on the pricing, the dealers just don't get it. Your dealership will be billed (invoiced) from Ford based on the last DORA you made (you get a new DORA anytime you make changes to your order). Likely your last DORA is when you converted to a 2023 model. That last DORA will also have an MSRP on it. You take the MSRP from that DORA and subtract your certificate from smart Vincent and also deduct the $250 for no subwoofer and that's your price.

In most cases that will put your price between $5000 and $7000 less than the 2023 sticker price.

I may have bought an invisible subwoofer....idk. They're installing my tailgate table for me so I'll count that as labor. My first order in March 2021 was with a 2.3L and no Mid Pkg and I never got a DORA...added 2.7 and Mid in late 2021 and kept same order in November 2022 order for the 23MY. I got Novembers price minus Private Offer and am good with that. Either way this was helpful advise. Thanks for posting it and breaking it down.

I don't think many of us are going to fret over $250... But thousands??? Yeah, not playing that game!

Glad it worked out for you!!!
