Got at F150 Tremor from them last October since my DD was dying. Granger provides a transit tag. Once you have the title (?) you can register at DMV. At that point you your local state and county taxes.

Heads up if you are in CA: you will need to weigh your vehicle and do a smog check. Generally, these are both done/provided by your dealership directly to the DMV. Both are needed before the DMV does the inspection that is mostly CARB based. From what the DMV person said, despite most vehicles being 50 state compliant, that is not always the case. Also, be prepared to pay with a check, otherwise the credit card fees are tacked on to the taxes.

As a side note, I had surprisingly nice interactions with the DMV. Due to the different steps required, I had to go in/out of the DMV 3 times in the same day. Despite that, doing the weigh station, and getting a smog check done, the whole process was only 4 hours. This time I will get the weight cert and smog done before I go in and should be done in a straight shot.

Thanks for this info. Did you drive back or have it shipped? If you drove (and you don't mind me asking) how long did it take you?

I drove back.

Flew in Thursday, picked up
Spent the night in Lincoln, NE
Drove to Salt Lake, spent the night
Drove to Sacramento for my kids event (Dead tired)

If I were to do a solo drive again, I would try to get to Kearney, NE on the first day. Lincoln to Salt Lake was a looong day.

FINALLY!

Day one reservation, and at last the time has come.

Delivered on 5/4/2023, and on 5/10 Granger contacted me to let me know it had arrived, and was ready to get the financial information going.

It was a very easy process, Samantha and Shelby were very easy to work with.

I drove from Dallas with my Mother, picked up my aunt in Waggoner Oklahoma, and headed north to Iowa.

it rained 75% of the time, not fun

We stayed overnight Sunday, in Grimes Iowa, which is only 10 minutes from Granger. The place we stayed at was called American Inn. It was okay, and they provided breakfast.


We arrived at Granger around 8:50am. They open at 9, but they accommodated us. I only had to sign one paper, and then they had a wait for the Bronco to get cleaned up.

I would definitely chose Granger again. They were very easy to work with, and my price was a lot lower than I anticipated

That's a hike. I'm doing Granger, IA to Little Rock, AR via Kansas City on day 1 then home to Houston after Memorial Day.

Looks like my Eruption Green is at the end of the line in that final shot!

Thanks for finding the links.

Finally the Bronco is home!!!. Delivered last night by Montway. Bronco is a tank! Worth the wait!
2 things about Montway: the only communication was driver assigned on day 1 and driver 30 minutes away on day 2. I had to ask Samantha if they picked it up. The other thing is they wanted cash for the balance($500). Cc are not accepted.
Bronco activated and I ordered cargo liner and floor mats with ford free rewards. Not bad deal. Hope everyone gets their Broncos soon. !!

Speak of the devil, I got THE email today. Looks like they may be reaching out via email instead of calls since not everyone may pick up.

Great info, thanks! How did you find the weigh station you used? Or did you just go to a Ford dealer and have them do it? Or can the smog check places handle?

I tried googling but wasn't getting an obvious correct answer.

Mine arrived 5/4, still in wait to be contacted by finance for final steps. I answered some "step 1" questions, but haven't gone forward from there.

*Edit: Just had a passing thought, others have arrived after me and taking delivery already... they could be going in numerical order, I was the *last* October reservation. Either way, they have Broncos coming out of their ears so getting a little out of order might be expected haha

 

[J.O.]

4/27 Blend, Built 5/1, Inspection and final build date 5/6. Still not shipped. Maybe there isn't enough room at the railyard or Granger, so they just hold orders at MAP then they get buried behind the daily production vehicles waiting on transport. Idk.

Sooooo many Broncos.

Mine will hopefully be there soon.. shipped on 5/7

I wonder if the good citizens of Granger are thinking everyone in the country drives a Bronco..

probably be shocked to go to any other city and only see 1 or 2 broncos a day instead of 20 or 30

DMV dude said he could not endorse any specific place, but said there were "a few that way"
I looked for Weight Station or Public Scale. I asked for a recommendation at the weight station for a smog check place and went there.
