🗓️ Bronco Scheduling on 2/2/23 For Production Weeks Through 3/27 [No Raptor, Heritage, Everglades, Base, MT, Badlands w/ optional wheel]

[VoltageDrop]

So you think tomorrow will be a massive day of scheduling, potentially?

I really have no insight into Ford's methods but I doubt tomorrow will be another big one since they're not pushing into new April build weeks and Stephens had no Broncos previewing this week, last I looked. I'm guessing this will be a smaller batch of specific trims but I'm just pulling that out of my arse, like Ford does.

Scheduling, even with allocations and constraints, can be done on a regional basis so any one dealer's previewing (or lack thereof) is not an indication of total scheduling volume.

As to the weeks they are scheduling, the only things that were scheduled over the last 6 weeks were BRaptors, Heritage, Base, Manuals and 2drs. I doubt that mix is enough to fully book all production slots through March.

So what I think, basically, is none of us has a clue what's going to happen...

hmmmmm wondering if the no MT's is because of the issues that are going on

Priority codes mean nothing with Bronco. Might just be how the dealership is organizing their order banks.

other models it means more.

you sure priority means nothing? Felt like my 10 priority got me thru quickly

It means nothing for bronco. As long as it’s not 99. You’re 10 had nothing to do to when it was chosen. Even if you had the exact same build as someone else at your dealership. If that dealership has buildable units that align with what is being built that week, it will go by time stamp no matter the priority code.

The optional Badlands wheels are done for the year (balanced out). The final ones were scheduled 3 weeks ago.

It seems that the standard BL wheels are in good supply. It's better to stick with those(get a build date) and find takeoffs later. Many people prefer the KO2s on the standard wheels.

I'm hoping my WT (all the sins) gets picked this week. Mine is the only WT without a build date at my dealer. Smaller dealership, but they should have at least another WT allocation this year.

@Ford, can you just give me my badlands sas with no wheels. I’ll put my own on.

From everything reported, the Webasto issue is just too much demand vs. their production capacity. They really can't add more capacity until Bronco order patterns mature.

Many of the early reservation people (well represented on these forums!) are enthusiasts. Many of us delayed replacing old vehicles during the pandemic. I think Badlands (like Rubicons) will be big sellers in the future, but most buyers will looking at non-SAS Big Bends and OBXs (similar to Saharas). The soft tops will become more popular as aftermarket hard tops become more readily available and affordable.

Lol. I'd happily take the Heritage Limited wheels and another brand of 35s to get my WT scheduled. Perhaps Ford could learn some lessons here and spec in alternative wheel/tire options in the future. It's more testing for the engineers, but adds flexibility and upsell opportunities. Wins for Ford and the customers. They still will get volume contracts for the standard wheel/tire.

My MT BL got moved back a week to the week of 3/27. Not sure how they are consolidating exactly, but I’ve got a VIN at least.

What time do the production emails usually go out?
