I agree, but I would still rather know than not know.
And as you have personally experienced, the communication from Ford and the dealer aren't up to your standards. You know this is the case. At what point do you quit banging your head against the wall wishing for better? Sit back, relax and put your mind on something else. Wouldn't it be a better surprise if you didn't know anything and the dealer called up one day and said your BS was in?

If your order is in transit and you check your dealer website you may just be able to see actual pictures. Here's mine.
Wow save those pics to your phone to document this whole journey! I’ll have to keep checking my dealer website. I thought they usually put up even the custom orders as ā€˜coming soon’ (since like everybody else there’s little to actually show for inventory nowadays) but I haven’t seen many. Thanks for the tip to check!

Ahhhhh….that’s not ā€œyourā€ actual Bronco, it’s a computer generated image of a Bronco Sport in your configuration.
Oh darn, here I was getting all pumped that these might be actual photos! Since they weren’t just the usual white background renderings.

No tow package, just 360+, CMS, and the Falken tires. I kept it pretty basic and didn't order anything that can be added after the fact (except the tires.)
I just got off of ford Chat .. here is the response

Thank you so much for your patience! Your vehicle is awaiting shipment. The ETA for when it should ship out is June 4 - June 9. With your VIN and order number, you can track your vehicle order at: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking.

That is a better response than I figured I'd get ..

Yeah I believe they put the badge sticker on at the dealership... And I think it would be crazy to move the vehicle in that many positions before loading it . They must be taking a week of pictures of mine...

So it looks like they were planning to put mine in the express train ...

There were no express trains last week... The race is still on...

The other BS that's headed to my dealership went from the white background to the train background, so now I see how well I was duped by the CG pictures. Good job on that one, Ford.

At least they gave you the ETA. Hopefully it's accurate and you'll get your shipping notification today or tomorrow.

I just happened to be at my dealership yesterday and they had a BS that is a customer order. It was invoiced a month before mine and it showed up this past week. Seems like the estimated delivery times provided should be accurate.

Yes.. the train is probably more predictable right now than the final truck hauler run...

So those that shipped last week.. what's your current railcar tracking status.. as mine is still waiting to get in the express train this week .. I know I'll catch up to all of you except the Arizona deliveries... I think Prawn and I have the same delivery schedule... But I don't live near Hinkley...

Depending on the behavior when I pick up my BS I may have to work on changing that. The lying and treating me like an idiot or a mark so far is not encouraging. Every email (from 4 different people at the dealership) has in the signature "Quick. Transparent. Less Complicated." I have a significant hard spot with that middle descriptor when I'm being lied to. They will have to put some effort into raising my opinion and rating. A friend suggests I keep Hanlon's razor in mind, but I wonder with that shouldn't be the opposite for car dealers.

After your experience.. I have opted to not contact my dealership yet . U til I absolutely can't get the express train railcar information
