Unofficial Awaiting Shipping thread.

[JimmyJoeBronco]

It is not just Ford. We lost two vehicles in hurricane Ian, one replacement will be my Bronco built on 9/30. The other will be a Tacoma that was built (coincidentally also on 9/30) but not yet shipped. We put a deposit down the first week of October on the incoming Tacoma that was originally due to arrive early November, now pushed back to 12/3. My Bronco also has been pushed back to 11/24. Interesting to see which one will arrive first.

There are many factors effecting supply chain. I heard the Mississippi River is low and constricting the flow of ships. Grain and other goods now have to also be moved by rail and truck. I can be patient so critical food take shipping priority over my vehicles. But yes, so frustrating to be waiting since January since ordering my Bronco.

I am trying to take the stance like @RicochetJP, just waiting for my dealer to call me when it arrives. Tired of checking and getting disappointed every day for the last 6 weeks

My railcar went from MAP Sunday Nov 13 - Nov 15 Wayne MI - Nov 18 Willard OH - and on its way to Chicago IL - on the 13th it was stated to be in Chicago on Nov 18

I believe I have depicted it’s route quite well….

Maybe they are trying for the train pennnnis like the Navy pilots were drawing.

I also have a new ETA...4th one was 11/16 to 11/22, new one is 12/6 to 12/12, not sure why the over 2 week extension? It is currently on a train. Really hoping it doesn't take 3 more weeks!

Well, I guess it can't be easy. The railcar # I got showed it was in Wayne with an ETA of Chicago on 11/22 but now it says it is "bad ordered" in Wayne with no ETA. From a google search, this appears to happen when something is wrong with the railcar. Back to waiting to see what happens.

Ouch..that has got to be one of the worst sucker punches. As if Ford wasn't bad enough, you (and all the other Broncos on that rail car) just took another hit. Hopefully they'll get everything transferred over and get you going.

Here's to hoping rail car issues are handled by the train companies and not Ford!

Damn 2 new ETA in less than 24 hours , I must be special , was 11/18-11/24 earlier today now 11/24-11/30

I think that’s my 8th eta in a month…… 3 hour drive

Obviously my dealer talking to their Rep must of back fired and pissed someone off

Guess it’s time to start selling all my parts, don’t even want this thing, just saw another FB post of someone ordered in Feb, built 10/27 and already delivered

I have thought about this so many times... Just saying to heck with it. God knows Even once you get your Bronco, seems like you have a toss of the coin as to whether you're going to have issues with it or not with Ford's quality.

Honestly if it weren't for me getting such a good deal, I may have walked and come back in a few years once a Ford has gotten all the gremlins dealt with in dealers are back to normal pricing.

It's a hard choice for sure.... One reason to keep going, besides pure stubbornness, is so that Ford and the dealers don't win. Because if you walk, someone's going to make an extra 10K on your Bronco.

Personally I think it's because for the first time, the ETA is actually tangible. Giving us an ETA that our Broncos are going to be delivered in a week when it's still sitting at MAP is ridiculous. Now that it's on a train and out of Ford's control, your ETA is much more believable..... And dare I say it .... Accurate?!?

Mine got bumped two weeks instead of one, once it actually got put on a train and shipped. I expected to get bumped one more week honestly, but we'll see.

It was definitely a blow once I thought things were finally moving, but I take solace in the fact it’s out of Ford’s hands just sitting on a lot and up to CSX now.

It appears things moved back and forth a little last night. It’s still in Wayne with no ETA listed but it’s not saying bad order anymore on the tracking. Fingers crossed it moves soon.

How about that…another bump in the eta to 11/24-11/30.

Ridiculous
Our train that was scheduled into Chicago Clearing Nov 18 - 8ish AM, moved to Nov 19, Nov 20 and now Nov 21.
Railcar left MAP Nov 13, and keeps getting delayed and barely moves.

My dealer told me that typically when they track the cars on rail, hey take 5 to 6 days to get to us at the West Coast rail yard.

It is now taken 5 days just to move to Ohio. This does not make sense. Is Ford is giving us a line of crap, and simply just moved our vehicles onto rail cars and are holding them hostage still??

I agree. I have considered walking a few times now, but don't want too give in.

New ETA in the tracker overnight. Now 12/10-12/16 for my 4dr Wildtrak that was built on 9/20.
Don't really care when it shows up, as long as it isn't affected by sitting around with mice and snow.

I’m not worried about snow with a hardtop, snow doesn’t hurt cars, it’s the salt on the roads that ruins cars, but definitely worried about mice and crap using them as homes

Yeah once it starts going it'll hopefully move a lot faster. Sitting in Wayne might as well almost be sitting at MAP

Same here... Was a little bumed to see the Chicago has been bumped three days now.. but for some reason I find my frustration level much lower now that is out of MAP and Ford's hands.



Are we the same rail car? TTGX 704928

It is a bit aggravating but not real surprising. With the low level of the Mississippi river a lot more goods are being shipped by Rail, and vehicles are probably the lowest priority. At least we can call anytime and get an update. Hopefully once they make it to Chicago things will speed up.
