Waiting room

[Little Wild Boar]

I wanted to track the train, but my sales guy can't find who has the rail car info ( I am sure this is a BS story, but ohh well! ) And Ford says my Bronco Sport is in Nagolas (SP?) but does not have a rail car # to give me... Sad Panda!!! lol!

Ask Ford Chat for the number

Just saw a Facebook post from an individual who ordered his BL on June 16th and was scheduled today. However, he only got steelies and the CMS - No other packages.

This is pretty concrete evidence that packages like premium/tow/360+ ARE constraints that are holding up production and scheduling.

You might. I'm just getting really tired. Last week was supposed to be this giant scheduling week and it didn't happen. This week was then supposed to be this giant scheduling week, but it hasn't happened yet this morning and emails generally go out Thurdays before noon EST. Heck, I've got a gut feeling that I'll be moved to a '23.

They won't start building 2023 models until November.

Don't for one single second think that you can apply logic to the ordering system. Everyone has had an example of something that made them think they broke the code but wait 5 minutes and that code will swallow you right up.

The person that got scheduled quickly was probably a dealer allocation that got set for them.

For those of you concerned about "non-refundable" deposits, I have my own knowledge and experience about this and was even actually advised by a former law enforcement individual that ended up going into the car sales business after they retired from law enforcement that they can say it's "non-refundable" to dissuade having to deal with indecisive, unserious, or wishy washy buyers on a regular basis or even folks looking to buy a vehicle simply to resell it and then backing out, but it is not legally enforceable, at least here in Florida. If push came to shove and you had a specific need, or any reason for that matter to request your deposit back, they can and should honor your request.

I did, they say they don't have one.

Probably still in Mexico. Once it makes the transfer to a train in the U.S. they will have access to a rail car number.

It's possible. Sometimes a vehicle will ship without the railcar number on the VVR. It happened to Tim Bartz's expedition he's waiting on.

My dealership just received a truck they didn't even know was built. No updates from Ford at all. Strange.

I'm still on the tracks... But not riding with you... We have all letters the same and We 4 numbers the same.. but 2 of the numbers switched .. and the other two numbers are half in 2 digit value...

I hope you get it soon. You were shipped a week later, so next week maybe?? And I'm not leaving the waiting room until you do get it as there was a group of us that started this journey together.

I'm in this exact same situation. Mine hit Shipped status a week ago, and there's still no railcar number. I've used Ford chat a few times, and they've said it's still sitting in Nogales (MX) and has no rail car number. Is it normal for this step to take awhile?

 

[MJE]

Of course the day after I leave for work & my sales guy leaves for vacation. So I can’t be over taking pics as it comes off the truck as I’d hoped. Ah well, this will have to mark the occasion.

There I was walking back to the house after rolling the trashcan to the street when I look up and exclaim, "Holy crap, I own a Bronco!"
