  1. Waiting room

    My Bronco Sport is now in Chicago Heights.
  2. Got window sticker - found incorrect options

    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 ā€˜preview order’ document listing all options, the order code and price. We signed and...
  3. July 2022 Waiting Room

    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.
  4. July 2022 Waiting Room

    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...
  5. July 2022 Waiting Room

    Mine hasn’t changed since 9/24. It’s currently at Gateway Yard, IL.
  6. Engine Noise Normal?

    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...
  7. July 2022 Waiting Room

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

    Yes!
  9. Safely Removing Bugs

    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...
  10. Waiting room

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

    Received the same email with the same dates about an hour ago.
  12. July 2022 Waiting Room

    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.
  13. Tow hooks installed

    Is there any point to adding them to non-Badlands models if they are not strong enough?
  14. Driver side window - lubricant leaking

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

    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?
  16. July 2022 Waiting Room

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

    It doesn’t bother me. Itā€˜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...
  18. Bad Rearend

    The ā€œrearendā€ 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...
  19. July 2022 Waiting Room

    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.
