Bronco Build Week 1/29/2024

[OverlandingPastor]

My Bronco is at the dealership too! Hoping to get it for this weekend!

So happy for you! Remind me what your model and specs were please as I can't remember. I probably shouldn't but I am trying to make sense of why some fly through production and others get stuck. Only mods I had were aux switches and tow package, but all of them are wired now for tow package and the dealer does the install so I wouldn't think it would hold anything up.

Mine has been moving around in side the mod shop last night and this morning. Looks like they are still working on it. I am fine with it, I would rather someone take time with the PPF and side graphics than it just be slid on last minute down the line. Maybe this is the way

I'm over in the 2/5 blend week I'm also "In-Production" even though Ford Chat has stated it is built. I'm waiting for a Florida delivery. I wonder if Ford is filling up the RAIL to go to the Southeastern region. Maybe less of us down here. lol

Looks like the got her done at the mod shop this morning, no other updates other than I noticed on the Ford owner account login on the browser it does not show as in production anymore under the account dashboard. Pizza tracker still says "in production 2/5" though. I would speculate its ready to go out, hope to see some movement out of there or a rail car # pop up soon I would say the visibility report at the dealership will update after it gets a rail car #. So far just VinView and the Ford owner account dashboard are the most up to date and in sync. They updated right along with each other. I feel that the I as the customer got in sync updates when it was actually completed just as fast in this situation as the sales manager at the dealership would with VINView access.

Bronco started up and the modem pinged again this afternoon in another spot in the mod shop on VINView, maybe when they were moving it out. However on the dealerships visibility report my ETA for the first time in the process has changed..

Dealer sent another email this morning. My bronco is passing through Indiana and should be here in 2 weeks.

So much different than my first experience on Ice Mountain for 6 months lol. Dealer experience much better so far as well.

What is the " Ford owner account dashboard "?

What is the " Ford owner account dashboard "?

When you go to Ford.com and click the little person up top and login into your Ford owner account it gives you tabs to choose from after you login, one is account and one is vehicle dashboard.
I would speculate with my ETA changing mine was not marked hot to ship to leave. From what I hear its an extensive process for a rep if a dealership reaches out to try and accomplish a hot to ship. Granted the Bronco she has now is a mod offer and this is the Bronco my wife has been trying to get for some time, but at the end of the day this Bronco did get picked up for production way faster than we anticipated. I have to keep making myself look at the other side of the coin.

Isn't the tow package a known hold up right now?

Isn't the tow package a known hold up right now?

I am not sure. I see mixed reports. My understanding is that every Bronco is wired at the factory now regardless of whether the "tow package" is ordered or not. If the tow package is ordered then it is shipped separately to the dealer where the dealer then does the install. So if that is in fact how it works then no vehicle would be held up or they would all be held up.

Ohh okay, I got ya. I didn’t know if it had to be specifically requested for it to be sent separately to the dealer. Strange that it’s held up

Just asked my dealer about the tow package and he replied:

" The tow package had been tough to get for awhile, but your Bronco will have the tow package on it when you take delivery here. I'm delivering another Bronco today that was ordered with the tow package and there was no delay getting the tow package. Perhaps Ford is getting all caught up finally? "

I talked with my dealer earlier today and asked him for any kind of update that he can give me on why the hold up at the plant, and he said he would get back with me. So he just got back with me tonight and told me my bronco is in route and he will give me more updates tomorrow exactly where. He also told me that he had a order for someone that was a the plant last week and got it at the lot this week and I'm in Greenville SC.
Blend date: 2/1
