8/15/22 Build Week Group

In my experience the updates Ford provides are meaningless.
Once it actually ships they just tell you to watch the pizza tracker which only loads twice a day when the wind is blowing from the Southeast.

You'll get an estimated delivery email with about a week long window.
The window will come and go.
A couple of days after you will get a new email with a new week long delivery window.
This process will just repeat until it arrives. Ford has no control over the trains so they just bump your window back until it arrives....making the delivery window useless.
I'm getting kinda close now to waiting a full month for shipping. As in it's been on a rail car for almost a month now.

I've seen in these forums that some rail companies are better with tracking than others but Union Pacific is garbage.
These are a couple of typical updates from UP:

Loaded train arrival Sept 2 5:37 am
Estimated arrival Sept 11 8:00 am

Loaded interchange delivery Sept 7 11:26 am
Estimated arrival Sept 13 8:00 am

They give you a quick status with a date and timestamp....but don't tell you WHERE it is.
Like....oh ya....it switched trains.....but we're not gonna tell you where.

It seems like special orders are going to be the norm for at least the next few years....it would be nice if a better tracking system was put in place. I don't need to have daily updates....just a REALISTIC delivery window.

It’s a total cluster. I’m 30 minutes away from the plant and today is the 3rd “estimated delivery“ window that has come and gone. Now I’m being told to wait a week and see where it’s at but most likely I’ll be looking at October. My current (Kia) lease is up in October, my sales manager said that I can “ easily extend my lease until the bronco comes in.” Clueless. 1.5 yrs waiting, original delivery date July/august and now I’m going to have to extend my lease. I would like to enjoy it before the snow starts falling!

Awaiting shipping for 24+ Days. There are 7 "Dealer Ordered" Broncos that just posted as "In Transit" on my dealer's website and their blend date was: 9/16. My blend date: 8/16!

They just updated my delivery window as the 23-29th…lol. My bronco is still sitting at MAP and there is no way it gets here in less than a week even if it gets loaded today. They are just trolling me now. So aggravating

Today is day 33 since built and Ford just updated/pushed out my delivery window once again.......now it is 9/23 to 9/29. ARRGG!!!!

2 days ago, they pushed delivery date to 9/26-10/2. Today it is at the dealership and I'll be picking up in a few hours!

 

[courtneyeliz]

Don't wanna give you false hope but mine still says it's sitting at MAP according to Ford Chat, but my dealer said in his tracker that it's arrived in my province... Would be a pretty cruel joke for him to make that up, so there may be a small sliver of hope.

What does your tracker say?

What does your tracker say?

Tracker says shipped, but when I messaged Ford chat, they gave me a rail # and said it was still sitting in the railyard awaiting shipment in MI.

Interesting. Yeah, hopefully they just aren't updating any of ours and they are all just magically going to show up. One can dream...

That's the dream. My dealer just told me mine is currently sitting in Vancouver (2 hrs away by ferry). Asked for an estimate and he said "ehhh, our final mile shipping company isn't the most reliable, hard to say" :|

Thats the difference. You are in shipped status. Im still in awaiting shipping.

 

[courtneyeliz]

Thats the difference. You are in shipped status. Im still in awaiting shipping.

I am too. Does anybody get shipped without it ever saying shipped and it just appears?

 

[peetuhr]

Thats the difference. You are in shipped status. Im still in awaiting shipping.

Oof. my bad. Really sorry to hear. This whole thing is royally messed up. At least you're built, though? :\
