July 2022 Waiting Room

[moose83]

Just a heads up for everybody, I just took delivery on my BL yesterday. My status was frozen at "in production" since 7/8 like many others here. My dealer told me that the hold up was rail transport out of Mexico. He said that there was nothing going in or out of Mexico for almost 3 weeks. It looks like that it was an immigration issue. People hitching a free ride on the trains. He said that all has been resolved now, so be patient, your vehicle is coming.

this makes me hopeful. Mine was built 7/6 and I am only about 14 miles from you.

I'm going to try that! Nope have no clue which way! My youngest starts his Sr. year on the 16th was hoping to have mine before then so he can drive what I'm driving now. He has an older Ford escape but it sucks on gas mileage and his school is about 20 miles from our house

I think you’ll have it by then, it’s a month away plus some.

Tho I don’t see any info on UPRR having issue for the route from Nogales to Colton.

UP is pretty damn exclusive coming out of Nogales.
This map will give you best guess at what rail a car travels on based on where it's coming from and going to.

10 days away lol fingers crossed I have it by then. I couldn't find anything for Louisiana however I did find a couple for north Texas....they were showing around 2 weeks.

So, there is one that goes straight from St. Louis across to Louisville, but I see so many head north first and then come down. That would be on BNSF transferring to CSX. Thoughts?

Thank you! Looking at the map El paso to Dallas to shreveport would make the most sense for mine! Concedering that nothing Ford does make much sense though who knows

Oh, August, I though you said September. Sorry about that.

I was told once off the train 2-3 days

That will depend on several factors, just fyi. Mine was 19 days from getting off the train to reaching the dealer and had 170 miles from one to the other. The stated reason for the delay was truck carriers were waiting on a full trailer and gas prices.

Mine gets off in the same town so hopefully it won't take that long

I was looking at my dealer website and cross checking it with United roads trucking. I found that several Bronco Sports with invoice/production dates after ours ( invoiced 6/23 in production) were pending pickup and mine still says inactive. How can that be? Logic would say they load you up for delivery in order off of assembly line. But, nothing Ford has shown me has any logic to it. My ETA is 8/8-8/14 per Ford and 8/26 per dealer??‍

Yeah, I'm right there with you. Still inactive. I don't understand! My delivery ETA was 7/25-7/31 which has long passed. And I can't get any new update. I'm not feeling optimistic.

I feel the same as you. Mine still does not show shipped or anything. I text my dealer and of course no response. That part is the most frustrating. it seems many people are getting their cars after ours have been “produced”. I don’t get it. My dealer before said mine should be there Aug 1 even though it didn’t even show shipped. ?

Right! It seems the people that have been getting theirs that have been built after ours, have all gotten the "built" and "shipped" Emails even if the trackers haven't been updating. I think I am going to give it another week before I reach back out to my dealer. I'd hope after I've already asked and expressed some concern, they'd let me know if they got any other updates.

I'm willing to bet if we all tell them we've decided to go with something different they would find some kind of update. When I ordered I put a 500 dollar deposit and the week it was suppose to be here gave them a 5000 dollar down payment. (They didn't ask for it but I like having things planned out) I'm ready to see something for my money even if it's just an update! There has to be a way they can check with the train and see if it's been shipped. I've asked several times but that part of my text is always overlooked.

My understanding is they know they can sell them easily whenever they arrive because of low inventory, so if we say we don’t want them anymore they’ll be able to sell them for the higher MSRP.
