Latest update on my delivery of 3/29 - 4/2...
It is still sitting in the rail yard lot waiting for a truck to deliver it 27 minutes to the dealer. Visibility Report is saying delivery expected between 4/4 and 4/10. Dealer said the local delivery has been the most delayed part of the process, and he's not optimistic about it getting here in that time frame. So I'll be here with you lovely people for a while longer...
Same here. My estimated delivery from Ford is 04/01 - 04/07 but it’s been sitting at the rail yard 45 minutes away for 7 days. I’d be shocked if it was delivered to the dealer by the 7th. I may text the guy and ask him what the visibility report now shoes because the trucking company shows it there with an ā€œinvalidā€ status. ??ā€ā™€ I have read people post that this is the worst part of the delivery process - boy were they right. Trust me, I’m perfectly happy that I can see the finish line (unlike some people who can’t see theirs yet) but when it’s so close physically to you, it’s making me crazy. ?

100% agreed. My visibility report shows Conway Freight is assigned to the delivery. Conway was acquired by XPO a few years back. Trying not to take that as a bad omen, but I’m with ya, I’m not hopeful. Hang in there!

2022 Bronco Sport Badlands
Just got a call from my dealer! My badlands is next in line for production. The full-sized spare tire included with the towing package is on backorder and is holding up production. They gave me the option to just omit it from the factory, and they'll order one in the meantime to get my Bronco to me faster. I agreed and they said I should get my build date this week or next! Things are happening!

I feel like this would be the least frustrating part for me because at least your vehicle was built! I don't even know if my vehicle will be built and be built with all the parts lol I was told I would have keys 16 weeks from ordering which would be that my car would be delivered next Month and I havent been assigned a build date. But yeah i do get the frustration because i would be like - cant I just go pick it up ? LOL

So, the truck tracker continued to show ā€œInactiveā€ (and still does) and yet, I checked the Ford tracker and it showed that it was at the dealer ? Sure enough, I drove by on much lunch break and it was there. I think I may have made my husband deaf when I screamed while we were on the phone. ?

Good for you!
Ahhh yes, one of the items that has surfaced every so often as a potential issue to getting a vehicle scheduled, but often overlooked. Most attention going to Chips, Tow, Moonroof, 360 Plus etc. Glad you've the option to get it built and letting the spare catch up later.

Have them order the same tire you are getting on the car and see if they’ll buy a used rim as well. The Badlands rims are 325 online. I’ve got the falken option tires and a Pirelli spare on a steelie (real one) rim. Will change out for a real Badlands rim when I change the tires. This way it’s actually useful and gets in the rotation.

you got a good dealership....

this is kind of communication we hope for from Ford and their dealerships. the choice seems rather simple for me. the spare is a component easily added later or replace with a different kind of spare.

FORD...and the dealerships...PLEASE let us know if that is holding up the BS BL with towing package built (or schedule to be built in my case). I want to believe that 99+% of people will say build it without the spare.

I have the best dealership. Sales and service have both been so good to me since I bought my Big Bend, even though it came from a larger dealership in Phoenix. They've treated me like gold for every recall, accessories install, and my first oil change. My salesman went above and beyond by calling me to test drive a Badlands when they got one on the lot (I got to put the first miles on it, so I know he called me first) and calling me to see the Premium Package in-person when they got an Outer Banks in with that. Ordering a Badlands and supporting these local folks was a no-brainer.

I have asked my dealer many times if anything is holding it up so I can make these kind of decisions but alas they say nothing is holding it up.

Any good news lately? I wish I could get an email saying you have a build date…
