July 2022 Waiting Room

[Jenbeth]

Except mine is heading to Iowa

I’m pretty sure it heads toward St.Louis and branches off along the way. You are probably ok. It sounds like the embargo was things traveling TO California. We’ll, and the flooding thing in NM.

Holy crap!!

I hope it is clear now

my dealer tells me it is not there yet

Ford sometime will show those inventory. But I said maybe they know something we don’t.
As long as it is not flooded and down the river or ocean I’m all fine to wait another week

I was laughing about the flooding down the river, not your absence of this Bronco Sport in your driveway.

Mine should have been here august 1 according to dealer… guess not.? mine was production week July 4 as well.

Went to my Dealership today, my BS is built, showing produced and awaiting shipping. ETA was today but that’s not going to happen as it’s still in Mexico. My build ate was July 4 also. Looking at another 4-6 weeks for delivery to Canada. ……Arggg

The real funny was I have mentioned that concern for Ford before ….if they didn’t track the shipment and lost a rail full of cars to a flood.. insurance company will tell them they never shipped them!!

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.

California car dealers may have to seek other means…. Ford should waive the destination charges and so cal dealerships can hire trucks to pick up cars. Of course, truckers are in shortage as well

it doesn’t sound like California will get any cars soon unless they rail it to the north and come back down they Oregon to California. That’s be a while

Tho I don’t see any info on UPRR having issue for the route from Nogales to Colton. Why not use them? One would assume Federal regulators will step in and try balance the load

this is not good…. If Ford is stuck on BNSF and no other means to move cars to California….. it’d be September or October before cars move west

That timing actually matches my prediction last weekend that they were finally on the move last Friday night (the day after my birthday), Nogales late Sunday night where it sat for more than a full day I believe (possibly to inspect and remove people) and then Arizona after that (would have to look at my posts for that date) which would match offloading, trucking, and dealer prep for you to get it yesterday. If that’s the case, maybe my prediction of mine ending it’s rail portion on 8/15-16 is correct. The way FordPass has been updating it seems to travel for about 12-16 hours then sit for awhile on repeat.

What state are you in?

 

[Dogula]

What state are you in?

I'm in the Phoenix area

 

[WildFord]

I'm in the Phoenix area

thank you for the info. Good to know….

Sounds like maybe Ford in California need to make a deal with the dealerships in Az to have cars shipped there and I’m happy to drive there to pick up instead of waiting at least another month or more due to BNSF pro

Now we can play the “Who is Next?” game! Mine will have to go the CSX junction in St. Louis/Southern Illinois and will (hopefully) travel on CSX straight East to Louisville/Shelbyville, KY, but will probably travel to the Great Lakes and then back down. My prediction is offloading on 8/15 or 8/16 for me.

What's your guess on mine? My dealership is in shreveport la

I was told once off the train 2-3 days

That’s a tough one! If they go straight across, it should be there this week, but if they go north and then back down, it would be after mine. Do you know from this site which way they usually travel? Maybe put the words delivery and Louisiana in the search bar? You might find posts about that.

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
