Oh boy, I guess after this long of a wait it's nothing now for 7 to 10 days LOL. Thanks gang!

I got into Richmond the same day as @HmrHmr23 and I'm still sitting there with no eta. My dealer told me last week he'd be surprised if it didn't show up last week. Then that weekend came and went and now his tune is "it will get here eventually". I'm guessing it's a dealer size/ inventory issue because others have spent way less time in Richmond. Good luck though.

I have all my goodies ready for it.

And after a trip around the sun waiting, here’s Beau the Bronco! Arrived at the dealer Wednesday and not quite ready to go home yet, but I got a first peek session today. A ton of orders came in this week and my dealer is trying to get mine pulled ahead since my husband is only home for one day before he leaves for another business trip…and I refuse to wait another week while this bad boy sits waiting for me!

Mine still sitting in Richmond. Going to Morgan hill which is one of the biggest dealers around. Maybe next week? Dealer said last Thursday but that came and went.

These dealers seem useless at this point. The story has changed so many times with my dealer it's infuriating. Hope we all get good news this week but I'm planning for the worst. Ford's latest eta for my bronco is now 2/22-03/03. If that is accurate, my bronco will have sat in Richmond for over a month!

Interesting as my dealer just today told me my Bronco is actually in Portland. Ford Chat never showed any info on it but Dealer says its shows there in his tracking. Says it should be 'any day now' that it shows up to them.

edit to clarify, I'm not through Damerow, actually through Kirkland Ford. Dealer said there is a chance it may just get to them via truck from Portland vs another rail segment.

This is the most interesting WA delivery story to date!

Portland is not supposed to be our regional distro center as Tacoma holds the license for greater Seattle Ford dealerships.

I would like to get more info on how the rail tracking failed and how it actually routed cross country and if you could have tracked it had you the correct info at the time!

My Bronco is doing the following:

11/30/22: built
12/1/22: "shipped" (generous term)
1/5/23: actually loaded onto a train
1/9/23: "delivered" to Chicago railyard

Has not moved since, no tracking, no info, no vinview.

1/20 - Built
1/25 - Shipped
2/2 - Dealer reported it as showing in Portland

I got a shipped mail on 1/25. I used Ford chat and they gave me a railcar number (which has never worked in tracking, always says its accepted by customer). In that same conversation they said my vehicle wasn't scheduled to begin its rail travel until 2/8, with a 2/14 ETA.

Last week I had dropped by to get trade in value from Kirkland Ford and they also looked up transit status. He wasn't able to see any rail car on the tracking at that time so he told me to call back this week. I called on Thursday and he said he saw it in Portland and expected it to need to be in Tacoma before it'd get to them but that sometimes he's seen them trucked from Portland too. Summary was that it should be here "any day now" and his guess was that it'd arrive on Monday. Sure hope he's right.

That's crazy. Can't wait to see your rig once you pick it up!!!!

I feel like I won the stick-in-your-eye lottery.

sure sounds like it. I'm glad it looks like I didn't buy a ticket for that lottery. Hope you dealer is helping. I recall there being a post, maybe back in December, where someone had their Bronco sitting for week and another member's post about rail delays had led to them finding the Bronco and getting it moving again.

My Bronco was built 1/26. Allegedly shipped 1/28. I finally got a rail car number a few days ago. It was sitting in Chicago for 5-6 days.

As of this morning, It has transferred to Union Pacific and is currently on the move through Iowa. Headed to Southern California (Mira Loma) so hopefully the trip goes smoothly. My estimated date is 2/10-2/28. That sounds like an acceptable/realistic window to me.
