$50 billion dollar company cant get trucks shipped because they're parked in a lot. yea right. the broncos had a ton of QC problems, and dealers lie.

here are 2 stock orders from the same dealer:
blend date 3/18 - marked built 3/25
blend date 2/5 - stuck in production since 2/6
both at the same ramp

youre telling me that ford wouldnt get these 2 trucks on the same train/truck out? they are letting one sit away in a parking lot for 2 months while the other gets shipped?

The January builds that still have not been shipped seem more than frustrating, all while builds in early-mid March are shipping?
Surprised there are not more people voicing their displeasure on X (twitter) @Ford @fordtrucks @fordperformance asking why it is taking so long to deliver Ford Rangers built a couple months ago while trucks built a few weeks ago or less are shipping.
That is my one whining post for the day....can't guarantee I won't think of something else to whine about, though, all while trying to remain patient.

yes. if you're unable to look at pictures of the holding lots with rangers/broncos/f150s to see just how stuck some of these vehicles are, i'm not sure how i can help you. there's literally photo evidence of what i'm saying.

if your truck is parked in a position like the one the arrow is pointing to, why would they play tetris with 6+ other vehicles just to ship yours? They are just going to work with the vehicles that aren't boxed in and they will get to yours when it's time.

ATN got invited to MAP to talk to them last week and asked them if there were any holds or specific issues that would delay shipping. Take a guess at what their answer was.

"no"

You could get to that truck by moving 3 other trucks forward 10 feet. It would take one person about 45 seconds. Instead ford has let it sit there for 2 months

No, it's more than 3 trucks, you can't just move the three trucks in the next row to free it. It is bumper to bumper with the trucks on each end so you will need to free that entire row to get that specific truck. You can't just move the trucks next to it and get it out. Look at how closely they are parked together, there's no room to back up and swing it out with a multi-point turn.

The truck infront of the marked truck would need to move forward, but that requires the truck infront of it to move forward. This entire row ends up being blocked by the first (or last) vehicle in line. And it makes sense to park them this way so they can maximize space.


Here's another example from that same lot. If the truck marked "Jan build" requires 6 trucks behind it to move for it to be free for shipping, but the trucks on the left marked "March build" require 0 trucks to move....why wouldn't Ford just ship the easy trucks first? It's not costing them money to do so. It would cost them more time and money to play tetris just to pacify people with early build dates.

lol making diagrams with 0 proof if what you are diagraming is even accurate. Dealers have storage lots like this too, if they need a car you move the cars to get them out, it takes less then 5 minutes, if there was a car they wanted in alleged your "January build" formation they would get it

 

[arob]

Then park em normally. It’s inexcusable either way

We have video and picture proof of the holding lots with how Ford stores these cars, these specific images were from a news segment from metro detroit just last week so clearly it's recent. We have visible proof that some vehicles are boxed in tightly, we have proof from ATN going to MAP last week and talking to the people there to know for sure that there's no "QC Hold" that is preventing shipping. The same people at MAP also mentioning they read these forums and laugh at the conspiracies people post.

But yeah lets just keep posting weird conspiracy theories instead of just listening to the people who went through this with the Bronco and warned us this would happen months ago. Let's also just ignore what MAP told ATN last week and keep assuming Ford is just hiding things from us. Super productive.

Dealers aren't manufacturers and the business model is completely different. Completely irrelevant to everything being discussed here.

From the full video with multiple drone shots, I counted over 30 vehicles at least that would need to be moved just to get that truck out. This would take way longer than 5 minutes. And why would they waste that time when there's hundreds of other trucks that can also be shipped without playing tetris?

You're a dude who handles customer financing at mercedes dealership, you know just as much about Ford's shipping process as the the rest of us.

if there was a car they wanted in alleged your "January build" formation they would get it

And clearly they don't need to, as there's many other vehicles they can ship first as they get to that trapped truck. Why spend 30 minutes freeing one guy's truck when they could continue the logical process and ship the first vehicles that are available?

How is it inexcusable? You haven't paid for anything therefore you're owed nothing.

Ford has engineers and systems that calculate the most efficient shipping methods with the logistics that are available.

Do you get paid to come act like an entitled child on a forum for a product you haven't paid for?

 

[CACTUSGREYFX4]

Here's the thing, once it's built and handed over to the shipping company it is no longer Ford's vehicle it is in the hands of the shipping company.

A simpler explanation is that specific truck wasn't boxed in and was selected to be shipped before other january builds.

I've been in production since january and my dealer has told me multiple times there has never been any QC holds listed. It's just waiting for shipping.

People who had bronco orders during COVID went through the same situation and called it out well before any of us were even built.

"Early orders will get packed into a lot and you'll be frustrated seeing brand new builds get shipped before you. it's just part of the process when you are an early-adopter and there's nothing you can do about it other than be patient."

So I managed to get my Ford Rep through the dealer to request more information. I guess the Rep escalated the question and a supervisor called me. A decent amount of the first 500ish were on QC hold. Now the issue is with Union Pacific, anyone with RH80 as their rail code still hasn’t shipped and it’s because of Union Pacific. The carrier has received the vehicles, not sure what’s going on now as they can’t get my UP updates. Maybe wouldn’t say can’t, but more or less won’t.

My worry is that they get fall out in the paint, etc. sitting up there so long. Sure hope not.
