CALLING ALL GRANGTOBER ORDER PLACERS

[reman1266]

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I though it was mine but that one has LED tail lights. Going thru this like the jfk film I need the call!

The one in the middle could be mine. Looks like my exact build. Tracker isn’t showing me in final preparation yet, but my Bronco has been at Omaha for awhile (per Ford customer service). I had a 4/25 build date, and 4/27 ship date.

Well, I booked my flight. Flying in Tuesday mid day and picking it up to drive back to TX!

Waiting on the call is worse then the scheduling email! I'm sure a lot of us are in the same boat with limited time. I don't want to be upset with Granger but Ford has found a way to sour the relationship! Granger is swamped with vehicles and I'm sure they are trying their best to process as many as possible but we are loosing out on personal interactions! I know it probably doesn't matter to most but my interactions with Albert set the tone for how I wanted our relationship to go, not this take a number and we will talk to you at an undisclosed time.

Just checked in and Samantha says Finance will contact me this week or next... I'm landing in Des Moines Wednesday night so... I need a ride home! Please don't make me change that flight

I’m not usually a patient person but in this instance I’m ok with giving Granger a wide berth. I think their MO is reasonable - if they take the time to answer phones and a bunch of e-mails it’s just going to slow the entire process down for everybody. I’m sure that everyone there is working as fast as they can. Just my 2 cents.

You are correct, and I want to be as understanding now as I have been for the rest of the process. I just tend to think that there could be some improvements with the current communication process. I'm going to be in town on Friday, there's only 6 race red broncos on the lot per the pictures. I asked on Monday to pick up while I'm there and I've gotten nowhere with an firm answer. If the answer is NO then ok I'll schedule another 8 hour trip in the future.

I plan on purchasing more vehicles with them and I might just be hungry or hangry!
