[mpmcgaughey]

it might mean that it is a version 3 of the engine instead of version 2 which blows up after driving it a few miles?? for me im NDZ3

Well as a Wildtrak, I hope I’m not getting a 2.3L lol

Hey! Here’s what I know:

Blend date: 3/15/22
Built date: 3/20/22
Dealer says he sees that it should be delivered between 3/26 - 4/1… he added that he’s seen them show up a week before ETA dates and also a week after…. so who knows!!!

I’m just glad I’m back to this point…. This is Bronco #2 for me… Bronco #1 was destroyed a few miles away from being delivered to the dealer back in the Fall…. Fingers crossed.

Also joked with the dealer yesterday and asked them to put in a request to make
Sure the driver of the carrier back in the fall isn’t delivering Bronco #2… told them to give the guy a day off when it’s time to transport my Bronco #2!!

I would have “jokingly” requested the same. What a roller coaster! Congratulations on this build!

Today’s update from Ford chat says my ETA is still April 12th. But there’s this useful message from Rachel:

“I see that the vehicle is in production currently. It has been produced as well.”

So glad I asked.

Now, I’ve got to watch the Big Lebowski or I’m just going to be quoting him all day.

Cult classic Amber. You aren't saying you have never seen are you?

 

[Herbie]

Maybe I’ve broken the matrix or something but yeah

Go ahead and push start, I dare you!

Activate Vehicle button popped up in my FordPass app, NOW IF I CAN TRACK TEH BRONCO WITH THIS APP, THAT WILL BE COOL I can show up on the dealer lot and see the bronco arrive!!!!

The plant has been known to work Sundays during heavy manufacturing times. Wouldn't surprise me at all since they are playing catch up like a MOFO for the past years boo boos. Someone on here should know. @BOSCH says he knows someone there, they could confirm.

It would also explain why their rotation number is so damn high for the Saturday in your week and the Saturday in our week. Both of our Saturdays are heavy by about 800 vehicles compared to the rest of the weeks days.
Sure sounds like it would make sense since they would finish the second half on Sunday. It would also explain why you late weekers got your mod update on a Monday.

Bam I just solved all the mysteries of the Bronco manufacturing process.

It’s the crew making that overtime dough. (At least I hope so, Ford… )

Just noticed this! Maybe that’s why I don’t have an ETA yet!

 

[Theo_Bronco]

Hahaha! Been thinking of vanity plates
BR0BUS, BR0NY, MYBR0NY, SHRTBUS... I have not decided yet

Do you get in to the My Little Pony kink? Because I’d probably nix the “Brony” if not.

Spoke to my sales guy this morning. Vehicle arrived on lot today. Blend date was 3/17 on the WS but it actually may have been earlier according to a guy I know that works at MAP. Keep in mind, my dealer is about 6 miles from the plant, so I might have a bit of an unfair advantage on my delivery window compared to a lot of you! Exciting day for sure!

Haha no, but I’m all for rainbows and unicorns.

Definitely a good sign, I think you’re built!

Cult classic Amber. You aren't saying you have never seen are you?

Have absolutely seen!

 

[Theo_Bronco]

Go ahead and push start, I dare you!

I’m imagining the dealership running out, crapping their pants… Quick! Anyone in the vicinity to coordinate recording the madness with @coadr?

 

[BOSCH]

Well as a Wildtrak, I hope I’m not getting a 2.3L lol

I'm NDZ3 2.7 Badlands...They either screwed them all up or none of them. Wouldn't put either of them past Ford!
