[breezybrah]

Ok I putting it on. The lucky shirt. Let’s hope it does it again for the 1/24 crew!!! I can’t believe we are really in May and still barely moving.

I have a good feeling about this good luck omen. Thank you sir.

This is absolutely one of the most frustrating parts of all of this. I have had 3 applications in and thankfully one is locked in for another 80 days but who knows.

Stupid me, I sold my Tremor super duty the week my Bronco was getting built, so frustrating!

So as a distraction to the norm. From a delivered guy. So most everyone knows I was rearended by a drunk asshole. So after a month of waiting on parts which isn’t bad I think I dropped it off cause the shop (attached to a ford dealer) was “ready”. After a few days it hadn’t moved and was being kept outside. Rain coming and it of course would let water in due to top being open in the rear I took action. I show up and just say “can I get the keys to the bronco out there”. The guys find them and hand them to me without saying a word. No asking who I am. No ID check. No questions. I say thanks and walk outside and drove it home. WTF. Now I have a new body shop lined up who seems to really have their stuff together. Fingers crossed for this new place. Again these things might really be cursed.

By the way, I know I am still the new guy, and have posted mostly frustration posts for the most part so far, but I truly do want to thank everybody on this thread. As pissed off as we all are, there is certainly some comfort in the fact that we are all experiencing the similar things. Certainly does not make it right, or gets us our Broncos any quicker, but logging into this forum several times a day is far better than staring at a tracker that never changes! So thanks to all!

No worries! There are 709 pages of anger, frustration, humor and some wild theories including one from a guy someone met on Xbox

haha absolutely

All of us need to bombard @Ford Motor Company with messages demanding special financing for these Broncos that have been in purgatory for months. Rates are likely to go up again and we are stuck paying the price through no fault of our own. Meanwhile March ORDERS - not builds but orders - are rolling off the assembly line and being delivered. We are getting completely screwed from every direction.

Drove by my dealer today and in addition to the Bronco I already inquired about, now they have a 2021 AMB big bend with pretty much zero options. $20k markup.
Weird thing is…..the window sticker is blue. That means it’s a dealer stock order right? The blend date is 08/18/21.

Most likely a demo (dealer term was “mannequin”) unit. Those are the only “stock” (blue window sticker) units I have seen out there….

So this week must have been keep week at work this week alone I have driven a new 4xe a 392 a base with the 3.6 and a 2.0 turbo, anyone thinking of bailing and getting a Jeep don’t the only one that I would think about would be the 392. Comparing them all the all drive like old farm wagons wandering all over the road etc.. the other thing that stood out especially in the 4xe and the 2.0 was the powertrain noise the 4xe has an obnoxious whine all of the time from the electric portion of the powertrain. The 2.0 just loud mainly from the direct injection pump but sounds broken even though it’s not. Anyway just my professional opinion

I've seen at least 5 Blue window stickers roll through my Ford dealership in the past 2 months with dates after our build week. Just means Dealer Stock.

Interesting, no stock vehicles in my area, only sold orders or mannequins. Maybe we got allocated less where I am…..
