My Bronco Sport is now in Chicago Heights.

When we ordered our Bronco Sport Badlands at the dealership they went over the options at least twice to confirm they had the correct information before submitting anything to Ford. We were immediately given a ‘preview order’ document listing all options, the order code and price. We signed and...

I see. So where is it likely to go next? I’m near Appleton, Wisconsin. According to Union Pacific the ETA is 9/29 at 2am. Ford’s ETA is 10/2.

I could be talking absolute nonsense here as I don’t know much about freight trains, but could the reason they appear to move from location to location have something to do with the length of the train? Some freight trains are extremely long with numerous rail cars. Maybe it’s something to do...

Mine hasn’t changed since 9/24. It’s currently at Gateway Yard, IL.

It’s normal. You are probably hearing the direct fuel injection and whatnot. They aren’t the most quiet engines from the outside or with the hood open. It should be quiet inside the cabin. The V6 in a 2002 Taurus we owned was much quieter and smoother sounding. Not nearly as fun or powerful...

My VIN is displaying on the United Road site along with load number and destination. Does it mean anything at this point?

What kind of chemical would cause that?

Yes!

For the past six years I’ve been removing bugs by spraying the impacted areas with Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover, letting it sit for a minute and then gently removing the residue with a microfiber cloth before rinsing it off. I was initially worried about the impact it might have on the paint...

My Bronco Sport is in Kansas now. It’s getting closer!

Received the same email with the same dates about an hour ago.

Does the vehicle remain on the same rail car the entire journey? I assume so as loading and unloading multiple times would not be practical and gives more opportunity for damage to occur.

Is there any point to adding them to non-Badlands models if they are not strong enough?

I have never seen anything like that before. Do you have pictures?

Norfolk Southern states my order was in Tucson, AZ on September 16. Union Pacific states my order was received on September 16 and due for delivery on September 28. Not the exact terminology… Does that seem correct?

Mine has departed from Nogales, Arizona. Northern Southern states it departed on a flatcar. Does that mean it’s fully exposed?

It doesn’t bother me. It‘s just ambiguous. I didn’t mean anything by it. This is the frustrating thing about dealing with dealerships. They tell you it’s one thing and it turns out it’s not… if they even bothered to actually diagnose and/or fix it properly. If there is a problem with the...

The “rearend” from the other Bronco Sport just so happened to be bad as well? I think the chance of that happening is probably quite small. It’s interesting that they agreed to cannibalize a perfectly good, brand new vehicle for you. I’m not sure why they would do that when they could easily...

According to NS mine has now been accepted in Arizona. It’s in the U.S. at least. Now we have to see what happens with the potential strike.
