Waiting room

[Richard Johnson]

Mine was given a 8/31 built then 9/3 ship and 9/22 to 9/28 delivery. Well here I am and the dealer doesn’t know anything…on a truck or delivery date except what I have. Hard to believe they don’t have a truck tracker.

I’m more than a little miffed now… they updated my delivery date to basically Christmas… The dealership I ordered it from just received a Bronco Sport that’s exactly like my, except for the engine block heater. Considering just forgetting about it at this point and getting something else.

Finally, the wait has ended! I order this BS BL+BL back on February 24th, Built 8/26, Delivered 9/24! I even found a friend!

From that angle, the Bronco looks like the "baby" Bronco!

Been following this forum for a long time. Sharing my progress finally for my Cactus Gray OB w/OB package (including moonroof):
3/15/21 order date
6/28/21 first scheduled build date
8/2/21 second scheduled build date
8/30/21 third scheduled build date
9/6/21 fourth schedule build date
Then, crickets....9/6 came and went, no more email updates. Called my dealer. He said 10/1 is new date.
Saw all these posts with the new 12/24 date, and heart sunk. Logged onto my tracker, and happily saw mine got moved to In Production! Still not sure I can believe it.

Any ideas how long it takes from in production to at the dealer (in upstate NY)?

It took 14 days from leaving the plant to the rail yard in Lordstown, Ohio, and another 8 days to be trucked 33.7ish miles to the Dealership in Kent.

My order date was 2/22 , did not see sticker until 1 wk before build start. 0 dealer help?

@Bold Tracey , Still nothing???? WTH?!?!?!

Finally got on Sat. An 8pm call on Thursday.
Had to redo paper work as " they forgot"I had a price 217 days ago?
She's happy--not much time in yet?

Honored your original price?

2/3 Put a down payment on an Outer Banks
2/26 Outer Banks arrived and ended up being a mannequin that I could not purchase
3/17 Ordered Badlands
3/26 Ford permits mannequins to be purchased
6/10 Badlands in production, built.
6/11 Sell my Truck
6/30 Badlands delayed until 10/31
9/25 Badlands delayed until 12/24
9/25 Can't go into WInter without a car, so I lease a Big Bend on the short term
9/28 Bandlands shipped
10/16 - 10/22 Estimated delivery date.

I am now convinced that Ford is actively trying to drive me crazy.

How did you get railcar number ?

How did you get railcar number ?

Ask your salesperson to get the railcar number from the dealers "Vehicle Visibility Report". If they say they have “no idea what you are talking about“, politely make them hand you over to someone that knows what they’re doing.

Once you get the number, (for example, mine was NKCR007467) You have to call the railroad and use their automated phone system, as there is no website that I know of, that tracks the railcar. Since the railcar should stay the same, you can use either UP or CSX to track it.

I had a hard time getting UP to understand what I was saying, so I used CSX to track it from the factory to the the CSX rail yard in Lordstown, OH.

CSX: 800-235-2352 (Say "Location" and follow the prompts to enter your railcar number)

Union Pacific: 800-877-5123 (Choose Option 1 for English, say "Trace" when asked for a response, then follow the prompts to enter your railcar number)

I used the Aberdeen Carolina & Western Railway website to track the progress.

https://www.acwr.com/economic-development/rail-maps/class-i-freight-carriers

The Railway from the plant to Tuson was via Ferromex, http://www.ferromex.com.mx/index-eng.jsp

So using the CSX tracking, I was able to follow it when Ferromex, Union Pacific, and then CSX was hauling it.

Hope this helps!

Congrats!!!! Welcome to the Family! Does that say "Nina's Bronco" on the side? I just went over the 200 mile mark. I've run out of "spur of the moment" local areas to go... lol

Might have to take a trip over the border to get a Tubby's mushroom steak and cheese, Better Made chips, and Faygo Rock -N- Rye!

IMHO, the Bronco without the Sasquatch package does not look like much. For me it loses all of it's appeal on the lower suspension and smaller tires.
At that point it falls into the same category as the BS of a daily driver with some off road ability and the BS would be far better as a daily with nearly the same capability of road.
The exception being if the Bronco had all of the off road goodies and smaller tires it should be much better off road but still would not be sad good of a daily driver.

I have a 2021 Badlands and 2022 Badlands on order. I wonder which one will get there first.

3/31/21 - Ordered a 2021 Shadow Black Badlands w/Badlands Package, Towing, Assist+
4/8/21 - 2021 Scheduled for production week of May 17
4/15/21 - 2021 Schedule production changed to week of June 7
6/12/21 - 2021 Built. Estimated deliver between July 13-19
6/14/21 - 2021 Estimated delivery change to October 25-31
2021 Estimated delivery changed to 11/3.
2021 Estimated delivery changed to 12/24.
9/28/21 - Ordered a 2022 Shadow Black Badlands w/Premium Package, Moon Roof, Towing, Assist+

I'm only going to buy one of them (probably the 2022), so there will be a Badlands available in the metro Detroit area, if anyone is looking for one. I just don't know when.

 

[Bold Tracey]

The dots under the days aren't filled in. Mine has looked like that since June and the email said it was built.
Built? Yeah I guess, but not completed.

Definitely need the check mark. After shipped (checked) 27days to Michigan

 

[Bold Tracey]

Honored your original price?

Yes, after showing them . 217 days is a long time to forget!
