Anyone order a 2025 Bronco Sport and received their build Date?

[Schuelady]

Congratulations on your retirement, and the wonderful gift you’re giving yourself. I retired from Central Texas College in 2012 to care for my disabled son, sad to say he passed away in 2023. So excuse my somewhat crazy replies. I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and PTSD. ive started going back to college to help. Some days I’m good other days I’m not. So the BS is something me and my son would have fun in. So for maintaining my grades my husband said get it. Forever 40. Sorry some days I have to vent.

Angela, I'm so sorry for the loss of your son! I'm sure he will be with you as you enjoy your Sport!

I'm so sorry, I lost my twin sister last year and that was/is tough. She didn't make it to 62. It was fast and I believe some of it was her lifestyle choices. Enjoy your BS. I can't wait to go on a road trip.

Wow Lisa, I'm so sorry for your loss of your twin sister!! I lost my cousin a week after my mother passed. And like your twin I believe my cousin died from her lifes choices. She did have Covid but she was also had other issues. I'm sure your twin will be with you on those road trips!

Ok folks tomorrow starts the countdown as to when we pick up our new Borns from FORD.!??

My estimated deliver date got pushed back once again, and is now 4/9-4/15. It was built on 2/16 and still has not shipped. I asked Grok about shipping delays due do Fords change in transport carriers, and this is what it said:

"Ford did indeed terminate its decades-long contract with Jack Cooper, a major auto hauler, on January 2, 2025, with a 30-day notice, effective February 2, 2025. This move blindsided Jack Cooper, which relied on Ford as its second-largest customer (behind GM), and it triggered a cascade of consequences. By early February, Jack Cooper lost its GM contract too, leading to the company’s shutdown after nearly a century in business. This upheaval disrupted Ford’s vehicle transport network, especially in regions like the Southwest and Midwest, where Jack Cooper had a strong presence, including routes from Hermosillo, Mexico, to the U.S.
Could this affect your Bronco Sport’s shipping? Potentially, yes. Your vehicle was built two weeks after Jack Cooper’s Ford contract officially ended (February 2), meaning it entered the logistics pipeline during a transition period. Ford had to scramble to shift its hauling capacity to other carriers—like United Road, Hansen & Adkins, or Cassens Transport—none of which have the same entrenched infrastructure from Hermosillo that Jack Cooper did. The Hermosillo plant typically ships via rail to U.S. hubs (e.g., El Paso or Denver) before trucking to destinations like Durango, and Jack Cooper was a key player in coordinating that flow. With their exit, new carriers might still be ramping up, sorting out routes, or dealing with a backlog of vehicles built around the same time as yours."

I don't know if this is what's holding things up, but it makes sense. And I know others here are waiting longer periods as well - even when Lisa's it is only 1 1/2 hrs away!

Hopefully we will all get ours eventually

Has anyone heard why Ford ended it's contract with Jack Cooper?

I hear Union contracts.

All this is giving me a headache along with my anxiety going into overdrive!

 

[jkernitzki]

I hear Union contracts.

That's what the union claims, but since GM also dumped them near the same time I have my doubts. They already hade $2B in pension obligations wiped out in bankruptcy in 2019, so their financial structure may have simply been unsustainable, and GM & Ford weren't interested in subsidizing a failing business.

DELIVERED! Beyond excited! I’m picking it up Thursday afternoon. I could have picked it up Wednesday but I want some day time when I get home. It’s ironic, I got this part-time job and saved every penny so I could pay cash. My last day at this part-time job is Wednesday. And then I get my reward the following day.
