Mine arrived on the 11th and I’ve done the initial forms sent by Carley. Samantha said I still need to speak with a finance manager to finalize. That was on Wednesday the 17th. I've followed up twice trying to confirm if I can fly up this wednesday night or not and haven't heard back. I know they're busy but there shouldn't really be a reason they can't provide me the Bronco on the 25th. From the timelines shared on here, as soon as a finance manager gets on the case it's essentially ready to roll.

Samantha on 5/17: "Your Bronco has not been PDI'd, but I can see what I can do. But a Finance Manager would be the next step. They will contact you either this week or next."

What does PDI mean?

Edit: PDI is Pre-Delivery Inspection
I signed my paperwork Friday via docusign. No issues. Fly in tomorrow to pick it up!
My finance person is out this week, along with Samantha, so I’ll be meeting strangers! That’s ok as long as I get the bronco 😎

Woops! That's auto correct for a 4/10 Build that the buyer backed-out. My wife almost had her retail purchase before I could pick up mine. Our salesman took over my Wildtrak from the internet sales side and we dealt with the retail side instead.
Oh makes sense, thank you for the clarification!

You are in the same holding pattern as as I am. Basically step Zero! You have not been contacted by a sales manager yet and until that happens you will not be able to pick up your vehicle. I waited for a firm answer last week and was never given one. My wife didn't know that we couldn't pick it up on the 19th and we ended up losing out on a booked hotel that was not refundable! I wouldn't book anything until a sales manager contacts you. I'm a fan of Granger but this part of the process is frustrating!

My Bronco finally shipped on the 20th. I’m assuming it’s going to take 3 weeks to arrive plus extra time to process everything. Out of curiosity, what has been the fastest shipping time from MAP to Granger?

Mine was on the same railcar as @RBF 1401 and was delivered to Granger last week 🤷‍♂️

Make sure you folks bring a tire gauge or deflator. My tires were at 50 PSI when the placard says 39 PSI cold. Make for a stiff first 150 miles. Will update here on the next 150 or so.

Update: The ride was so much better afterwards, and my back and kidneys were thankful.

I realized after I drove 1k miles after pick up mine were set at 46 psi and hot they were around 49-50 psi.

My Sport was at 46 instead of 33. Was fine for highway plus better mpg. Way better for everyday driving at 33 though.

Not sure what the shortest is but I may be in the running for the longest. Mine took a little over a month from ship date to Granger and arrived damaged so it's going to take extra time to repair. I'm guessing ~7 weeks from ship date until it's ready to be picked up. Oh well, it will be ready when it's ready.

In all fairness to Granger, they have been up front about not making travel plans until they talk to you first. Think about it, they’ve been doing 5-10 a month and then they get slammed with several hundreds. It’s not like you can just runout and hire a bunch of techs these days nor did Ford give them or us much of a warning.

You are correct, I booked tickets that were refundable, knowing I would be changing them. My wife didn't know that information and booked the hotel and took time off without checking with me.
