Waiting room

[Broncette]

There are theories about particular features/options holding up builds but nobody here knows that for sure. If you have a build date, even if it is getting pushed around, then you are near the end of the process.

I it would seem that something is happening at the factory in the last 5 weeks or so. Production dates were not getting pushed around (as much) in March and April. Sometime in May that seemed to change. Yours has a date, so it will be built pretty soon, even if that is not entirely predictable. Hold tight, it is coming.

Speaking of that Maverick in the parking lot, you probably don't know how long that person waited to get it, or maybe how much the paid to get it now.

I saw mention of the factory being closed for 2 weeks in July? Is that right? I'm afraid unless by some miracle my car is done by then I can automatically add 2 weeks time to however much longer I'm waiting.

It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I shouldn't complain because I already have a BS that is fine. But I'm just tired of getting excited my date is coming up only to have it changed week after week. I haven't seen anyone say they are on their 5th date yet. So if there is anyone out there please tell me, I'd feel better if it's not just me lol!

It seems there are multiple sources saying that there is a 2 week July shutdown. I would expect that Ford would be attempting to clean the slate of scheduled builds before that shutdown. Although seeing people with mid-August build dates pop up this morning makes me question that last statement.

I’m new here and finally received my build date today! So excited ! Ordered an outer banks with tow package and cargo management system. Cactus grey.

So the express train to Michigan made it to Missouri last night... It's only a few states away now... I think it's weird that it's going to take 3 weeks to still get to the dealership.. I guess the car hauler might be a big delay too

Thank you. If my 6/27 doesn't hold I won't hold my breath for anytime in the near future.

Mine arrived in AZ on 6/2 so perhaps mine is north of Kansas now. Perhaps this time next week it will be close to or in Canada.

Nope! That looks stressful to me. Lol.

If I did not love trains . I think it might be. But I'm actually impressed with the movement.. I kinda thought it would be slower.. a daily change is nice compared to 17 days in production with no status change

I've actually been watching a lot of railfanning videos after getting into the shipping portion of this calamity. The audio and visual repetition is very Zen. My wife loves trains, so when the BS does finally get here we plan to make a run to a train museum near here for some fun.

What museum? I'm still confused on which way it's going to go to get to Michigan... Since it's on CSX I'm Assuming from st. Louis to Indianapolis to somewhere in Ohio to Michigan... But there are so many tracks east of the Mississippi... There are tons of choices...

 

[thekingprawn]

What museum?

Northwest Rail Museum.

 

[Little Wild Boar]

Northwest Rail Museum.

If you ever drive your new bronco through Nebraska take her here... We stopped on our way cross country before... It's the largest rail yard in the USA.. and they have viewing areas to watch it in operation...
