If you're new to ordering a Bronco, it may help to know what lies ahead. There are several camps you may (or may not) occupy at any given time. You may occupy some camps longer than others, or skip some camps altogether. Here they are, in roughly sequential order:

Camp 1: Excited to place my order!
Camp 2: Patiently waiting
Camp 3: Where's my Bronco?
Camp 4: "My dealer said..."
Camp 5: Why isn't Ford communicating with me?
Camp 6: Ford is lying!
Camp 7: Ford doesn't care about their customers
Camp 8: Ford is the WORST car company!
Camp 9: I will NEVER buy another Ford product
Camp 10: Impatiently waiting (busy camp)
Camp 11: I got a VIN!
Camp 12: I got a build date!
Camp 13: My build date has been pushed back "X" times
Camp 14: Why can't I see my build status?
Camp 15: Why haven't my modules been activated?
Camp 16: My Bronco is built!
Camp 17: Why hasn't my Bronco been shipped?
Camp 18: My Bronco has been shipped!
Camp 19: How long does it take to ship my Bronco?
Camp 20: Frustrated, but resigned to wait longer
Camp 21: My Bronco is on a train (or carrier)
Camp 22: I can't find my Bronco on the tracker
Camp 23: These tracking links are worthless!
Camp 24: My Bronco arrived!
Camp 25: Dealer shenanigans
Camp 26: Delivery taken
Camp 27: I LOVE this thing!
Camp 28: So worth the wait!
Camp 29: Ford really makes an excellent product!
Camp 30: Ford is the BEST car company!

Then comes the honeymoon phase... How long it lasts is up to you. :D

Great post.
Right now sitting at camp 11. Sure hope I don't have to go through all 19 of the next camps. And they better go much quicker than the 1st 11!

I'm in camp 17, it's been shown as built for a month, modules activated and all. It's really killing me to know what is causing a month delay to ship. My dealer is probably gonna start charging me for asking for an update ever other day. Anyone else experiencing long build to ship times?

Great post.
Right now sitting at camp 11. Sure hope I don't have another 19 camps and I sure hope my next camps don't take as long as my first 11!

Thanks. I'm just being a goofball. Although, in all honesty, some of the camp's names were culled from quotes found on the forums!

I'm sure some have avoided certain camps by virtue of luck or by not monitoring their status too closely.
