This screen shot is from my B6g tracker. At the top of the screen shot, is “ETA end date.” It gives a date of 10-24. Is this an estimate of when the dealership will receive the vehicle? If so, how could that be, seeing that a shipping/built notice has not even been sent?

No it is not. If you notice it’s still in production. Mine has and ETA end date OF 9/11 and mine was built 8/5 and sent to dirt mountain. Until the status changes that date basically means nothing. Once you’ve changed to built you’ll get a ship date.

Looks that way

It's your "Estimated Delivery Date". If you look at the Ford tracker that date should match your ETA as well. Like previously stated... it's not a firm date, just a guestimate from Ford.

Thank you for the response. A little additional information, although it may not make any difference, is this: The status history on the dealership computer shows that it is built, however, it is not showing up as built on the tracker.

If it’s any consolation, I am in the same situation. No pizza tracker or palsapp updates. My dealer said he sees it as “in transit” delivery by 10/11. He said another one had a delivery date of 10/13 but showed up at his dealership on 9/28. I have talked to the dealer a couple times and he’s expecting it to show up any day. Not really sure what to believe. Maybe the mass exodus of dirt mountain broncos with new hard tops is changing their delivery logistics.

Thank you. Is yours still on Dirt Mt?

It is.

This date will NOT be accurate for Dirt Mountain builds. It is suppose to be used as a point of reference for rigs being built under the assumption that there isn't an extreme issue. Dirt Mountain and the MIC top fiasco was an extreme fiasco so throw those ones out the window.

 

[Last Ride Bronco]

It is.

Wow! My hat is off to you. I think that puts things in perspective for me and I will try to be more patient. Just trying to figure things out.

If Dirt Mt isn’t factoring into why builds are being pulled and sidelined, what is your guess/speculation?

I dont think things are getting pulled/sidelined like you're alluding to. I think it's all logistics and supply constraints. For instance... my rig could be taking a hair longer than some cause mine was sent to the MOD plant to add floor liners, throw in anti-theft lugnuts, door bags etc. It could also be that they are waiting on a full load or a truck driver to take my rig to WV. I know there is a trucker shortage atm. Ford isn't going to ship one bronco on a truck. They will try and fill that thing out to save money. Also... don't read too much into the tracker information. It has been all OVER the place in regards to what it's showing and what is actually happening. Some people have had their rigs show up before they get their built or shipped emails. Some get them significantly earlier than the "Estimated Delivery Date". I also read yesterday that all Broncos (Dirt Mountain Broncos and newly produced Broncos) are going through QC. So if you think about it QC is having twice as many vehicles going through there which will create a bottle neck. I have no idea how they are splitting these up percentage wise though... only Ford knows that.

When it comes to anything bronco…..patience is definitely key. Sadly it’s been a nightmare of a launch/release/production.

That makes more sense than anything I've heard. Thanks

I'd sure like to know what the "End Date" is supposed to mean? Apparently not much since mine is nearly two months ago....
