Last Friday I went home with a UNSCHEDULED: CLEAN build. Today I came in and chatted with Maya at FORD who told me that I am officially a UNSCHEDULED: BALANCED OUT build that she said pretty much means that I get a 2023. So my initial order date was July 13, 2021, I reordered on October 13, 2021 with a price increase and a loss of my color (Antimatter Blue) also the loss of the painted handles and mirrors on the Wildtrak Package.

I think that the biggest issue that I am having with this entire situation is that I keep loosing things that I wanted on my Bronco. I am afraid that I will most likely loose the Upgraded Navigation System too because Ford is pulling it from ALL 2023 vehicles, without the ability to add it later.

Sorry I am so "SALTY" today but I have to complain to someone and my dealership isn't going to do anything.

Hey FORD how about some swag?

I have the navigation system on my Bronco. I wouldn't view not getting it as a loss. I find Waze and Google Maps work much better.

There are 5 Broncos for sale at my local dealership available for sale; it's shameful to treat people like this. However, they are holding the price, there is inflation, and it costs more to build a Bronco today than it did in 2021. So our Broncos are actually getting cheaper by the day, if that helps. I sadly make myself feel better by continuing to buy aftermarket products that I plan to install on the Bronco I don't own yet, or even have scheduled. Do you think they will make this right by 1st quarter 2023?

I am not planning on Ford being able to make this good during first qtr. There are people that ordered way before me that still don't have their Bronco. There are first and second day reservation holders that still don't have their Broncos. I think that I might end up with a 2024 by the time this is all said and done. I just wish that things were better.

Not sure if the chart someone posted was real or fake but they had antimatterblue back for 2023 so at least you can get that again if it’s true

Today chat told me that I am still "unscheduled - clean" and not "balanced out". I wonder what the logic is to determine which orders get clean vs balanced status...

I'm a very late order (3/2/22) and have tons of constraints. BL, SAS, 2.7, MIC, Lux... and a dealer with a TON of orders in front of me. I assumed mine would be balanced out for MY23 by now.

Mine is a Wildtrak, there is no option that I didn't select except for HOSS 3.0

^^^ this, plus the freedoms you give away by signing up for FordPass are simply unacceptable to me. Read the agreement and user beware. My .02

Not unit Jul 13, 2021. So I get it, there are many more folks in front of me, some being first day reservation holders, I am just annoyed with the process. Plus the changes that I can't control that Ford does, after I ordered and put money down.
