7/17/2023 Build Week Thread

[SamC]

What is a tear tag and how can I check? My wildtrak has been in production since 7/19.

ford chat said I should be expecting deliver 8/5 - 8/11 but doesn’t seem right.

I'm there with you. Chat told me 8/16 - 8/20 expected delivery date. Still in Production. Hopefully mine is just waiting on a rail car.

Got my built email this morning, ford tracker showing shipped status, got railcar number from Ford Chat (and estimated delivery 8/12-8/18), New Brunswick automated system doesn't have tracking info yet for railcar. Getting close!

Well, That's good for you and bad for me. Mine went into production on 7/18 and appeared to be built on the 19th as the modules and tear tag populated. But it is still sitting in production and they had a large hail storm come through on the 20th. I still haven't heard if any vehicles that were damaged, but I was hoping that it was finished.

Damn I didn’t know that. For all our sakes… hopefully no damage!

Not waiting on a rail car. Needs to go from in production to “built”. Even if secondary status is “produced” it still has to get to built status and then released to carrier to be awaiting shipment. And then shipped. Stay patient!

Oh damn, here's hoping it was still in the factory!

I reached out to my sales guy today. My bronco still says in production since 7/19 but he said it was built last Wednesday and put in line for the train Thursday with an ETA of 8/8…. I recommend everyone reach out to their dealers.

7/20 blend and confirmed modules and tear tag last week but just got THE email this evening… I’m going to assume this is Ford being Ford.

Any on the ground updates on the hail situation? Sounds like there were a couple bad storms in the past week. I just happened to be there 2 weeks ago for personal travel and there were probably 100s of Broncos out in the open.

I got the same thing this evening. 7/21 blend, tear tag on Monday afternoon.

Eruption Green WildTrak, lux, both tops, tailgate, side graphics, body armor, pretty well loaded

Ordered 3/23

Production 7/19 date, week...whatever

My dealership here Belleville Michigan is only 7 miles away from the Bronco/Ranger assembly plant (Wayne Michigan)... on paper you'd think that would help 🫤
Literally checking every few hours for any emails from Ford

Getting some movement on the rail car, the Norfolk Southern automated phone line said the rail car arrived in Indiana this morning (I'm just assuming it was Elkhart). Making progress.

Looks like there is a distribution facility right here in New Orleans, hopefully that will help speed things along.

(this isn't a real tracker, just drew a line on their map)

NOOOOO! Ugh!

Got the email as well. Know mine is built, have a tear tag number. Called marketing 800 number. They confirmed mines built with an estimated dealer delivery date of 8/5-8/11.
