I can't get much info from my dealer (they're probably too busy right now to do too much digging, to be fair), so maybe you guys will have some info.

I put a deposit on a OB Sport on June 10. This was NOT a custom order, but was part of the allocated stock going to my dealer's lot. My dealer called when they found out it was coming and let me put a small deposit down to hold it. I was told at that point it would be "less than 4 weeks." I was expecting to get it about two weeks ago.

I have a VIN and a window sticker, and thanks to the info on these forums, I think I've got a rail car number. None of that tracking is giving me much info. PALS just says "pending." My understanding is that the vehicle has been built, and that's not the delay. But all the builds, both full size and otherwise, seem to be being delivered on time or even early. Anyone know what's going on? Is it because it wasn't a customer order?

It doesn't help that I'm in Birmingham, AL, and there's apparently another Birmingham associated with Bronco transport (??) and none of the tracking specifies between the two.

Have you tracked it on the tracker?
It doesn't show up on the Ford tracker since it's not a customer order.

EDIT: I stand corrected. It didn't show up last week ("Cannot retrieve this VIN"), but it does now. Apparently it's not even built yet. Awesome.

Oof....I'd have a long talk with the dealer. That's shady

I did the same thing for at a dealer. I have the sticker. Where do I find the order number needed? I used the one on the receipt the dealer gave me for the deposit, but didn't work.

My order number was the date in number format MMDD. My order date was 1 Mar 21. The order number was 0301. Don't know if this same naming convention at all dealers.

That would seem to be correct, my order was May 21 , my order number on the dealer sheet is 0521.

I ordered my Badlands in March. Order no. 200.
Received an email with the VIN telling me it was built 6/14 and would be shipped to my dealer between 7/13 and 7/19. It never arrived.
The tracking says expected delivery 11/3.
I have learned that you cannot trust any information they give you.
I don't have any confidence in the 11/3 date.

I got a similar email about vehicle being built, but it's missing the rcm chip. Have you checked the etis site? You can see if it was impacted by the fuel line recall or missing chip. https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do

You can enter your vin and check pti info
