Apparently not until it gets on a truck is what I gathered. Until then we'd need to check with dealer to look it up for us. Mine headed for Delaware as well. It was in northern TX last night according to my sales guy. Long way to go still.

wait what!? Did I miss something? How is yours on it's way to Delaware? How are you tracking!? I ordered my BL before you and it's still showing 11/3

I said it before - there is no order to this process madness. I've seen many many orders placed after mine get into production ahead of me and most delivered. There is just no logic to this process. None. Case in point: dealer tells me they had placed another BL order after mine, which went into production in June and now stuck in Mexico with no chip presumably. BTW, Delaware is some railroad hub I assume. It still needs to make it down to VA after that.

With your January order date it is seriously Fed up and is very unfortunate/irritating.

That is because you are in the unlucky group with many others including me where Ford built your vehicle with missing parts then put it in a yard to sit. Then in July Ford had all the parts so the units built in July were completed and shipped. Ford is doing this same pattern with big Bronco, F150, and Bronco Sports. Why did ours get built and put in a yard to sit while later units are built complete and ship? Because that is how Ford does it across all the model lines when they are low on parts.

Yep, that's how I found out it was on Norfolk Southern, first in Illinois, then in Conway Pa. near Pittsburgh. The New Castle Delaware railhead seems to be the the destination for the entire Mid-Atlantic region. The dealer visibility report shows a range of ETA dates from 8/12 to 8/18, but the salesman says he expects it before the 8/12 date.

I gave up on my BL w/ BL Pkg last week and got lucky with a big Bronco Badlands....the dealership I ordered my BL from received the Bronco Badlands that someone had ordered but gave up on it. As you can see, it has the soft top, 2.3L 4 Cyl engine, 7-Speed Manual tranny (includes a "Crawl" gear), 33" BFG K02 ATs.
So the dealership sold it to me at MSRP without the $5K dealer markup.....so I had to jump on that deal.
In the end...I did get a Badlands in Area 51...just a different version of a "Badlands"...LoL

Whoa! Sometimes waiting pays off. Congrats!

Thats the route I'd be going if I could afford one, but with the all the delays and hard top problems I'm glad I can't get one right now lol. Personally the fact that the BS doesn't have a removable roof is a big selling point for me.

But hey, enjoy it! The big Broncos look even better in Area 51, especially the Badlands.

Out of the waiting room and onto the road. My wife got the call yesterday so we went and picked it up. Selfishly glad that it worked out where her build dates were pushed back multiple times into the July sweet spot where complete builds were happening. It was a long 5 months to wait but this thing is fun to drive. Can’t wait to get it off road somewhere and see what it does.

How did you find out which railroad was moving it?

I ordered my OB on June 4, 2021. I received the scheduled for production memo on June 10. It said scheduled for production week of August 2.

Well, it's the week of August 2 and no communication. I got the VIN from my dealer a few weeks ago, but today when I put the VIN in the window sticker tool, it still says, not yet generated.

I think this officially puts me in Ford purgatory.

My Ford purgatory continues... The part the found in the bin yesterday to update my window sticker from 7/27 must not have fit...

Wow, somebody is watching, wonder how many private messages they're going to get!

Haha, at least 1 from me...

I ordered a BL+BL package on 2/23 and haven’t heard anything beyond the confirmation email. Oh well!

Ordered 02/20, but dealer didn't submit my email with order so I haven't received anything directly from Ford, only through dealer. Tried to get on email notification list with Ford, but apparently they couldn't figure out how to do that. My ETA is 10/31 or sooner I hope.
