Of all the close ups to post, you chose the blue postal service truck?

Thatās how you effectively load a corral. Not one needing driver to back up.They are probably waiting on chip sets, same as this sea of F150's parked at the Kentucky Speedway.
EncouragingSo I went out looking for where the Broncos are being stored once they come off the line at MAP. And I hit the jackpot.
First up, the yard in Canton. (just west of the MAP). The yard is associated with a trucking company. There were a bunch of Broncos, mostly 4 doors with soft tops and a few Sasquatch builds. See the videos below. I also took a few pics of the 2 door velocity blue Base since we donāt see many bases. And far behind them were hundreds more in the back. And lots of room in between for more.
Then I went over to MAP to see if any Broncos were in the yards there (a few weeks ago there werenāt many) And I stumbled upon a continuous flow of Broncos coming off the line and being driven to a yard on the east side of the plant. Every few minutes another one would come out of the lot and drive half a mile down to the yard. And the yard had hundreds - maybe even a thousand - Broncos accumulating back there. I couldnāt get any pics since it was all so dynamic and the cars in the yard were so far back. But in the 20 mins I was hanging around, I saw at least 20 drive by. It was amazing.
Curiously, one of the 4 door soft tops had āRTPā and āhard topā written on the driverās window. I assume the soft top will be swapped out for a hard top at some point when available, but does anyone know what RTP means?
Anyone in the Detroit area looking to see Broncos, I highly recommend heading down there. It was such a blast!
EDIT: Guys, I know there aren't thousands of Broncos in the pics and vids I posted. I only took them at the Canton yard. The MAP yards also had seas of Broncos and more coming off the line. This post was meant to convey what I saw, not what I took images of. Just to clarify.
OMG!! Right!!These videos and images are clearly propaganda from Russia.
Bronco6G members have educated me over the past year that Ford is incapable of manufacturing vehicles and has no clue what it is doing. They lost me, Bronco will never get produced, Ford's only objective is to steal $100 from each person and life high on the hog.
They also don't understand how to build a focus-built off road vehicle that can tow more than a F-150, seat 7, be small enough for OFV trails, plush, luxurious, robust and durable, beautiful, cheap, reliable, and also get 60 mpg. (Am I right, @DHH?)
Furthermore, Ford can't even figure out how to make a g-damn trunk cupholder which fits a pineapple properly (@ZackDanger) photo evidence here.
For real! So excited I got to see it. I was able to catch a glimpse in the Bronco Life video but the quality wasnt great.Ha! I KNEW someone in here ordered a Base VB and would appreciate seeing it. It looks so great in person!
In dog production...Thousands.....
Lol
Honestly, I could have used at least one reference to the lack of cup holders and/or how poorly the Build & Price was when it initially launched a few days late.OMG!! Right!!
Ford actually parked these Bronco's outside without protection from the birds.... Ford better give me 1 year of Free Car Washes to make up for it or I'm buying a Jeep!!
Am I doing that the proper B6G way?
/sarc
Great Post Jen!!

RTP stands for "Return To Plant"
There is 2 plants on the the MAP site. The main assembly which is called MAP and to the east of it is the old Wayne Assembly that has now been converted to the MAMC facility. MAMC is the Michigan Assembly Mod Center. This is where all upgrades/accessories that are ordered are installed.
When a Bronco has been sent to MAMC and is completed but needs to return to the main plant for any reason it is tagged RTP to facilitate where to park it so that it gets shuttled back.
I assume youāre joking.. But if not, the yards in Canton were filled at the back. And I didnāt take any pics of the MAP yards.
