Same build, same blend, and completely different delivery timelines!My dealer just told me my Bronco is ahead of schedule. Should arrive by the 10th or 11th
We need to all go out, learn how to drive an 18 wheeler, get our CDL's and start trucking these babies out.Same build, same blend, and completely different delivery timelines!
Maybe it's just me, but I've seen very few Broncos delivered to areas that would go by convoy and a ton that have gone to areas that would have been delivered by rail (i.e. lots of deliveries to the south and out west and not a lot to the Midwest).
Lack of truck drivers might be a substantial issue for us close to MAP
Well if Biden can drive one, we can.
Imagine just a third of the members on this forum became truck drivers. That would be over 7,500 drivers! Average 10 broncos per truck, 75,000 rigs being sent out! Crazy.
Thanks for adding tops, nice job keeping us informed!Per the suggestion of @Rubisquatch , I added a "top" column. I think I got most of them, still missing a few. Of the 33 shipped rigs, only 8 are MICs (one unknown top).
Let me know if I missed anything.

I think the soft tops are going through QC as well. I read a post (maybe in this thread) that a buyer of a 4-Dr. Soft top had a piece of felt and paint protection film on the top mechanism and roll bar (to prevent scratching). This was most likely added at the factory, now that there are reports of the soft top scratching the roll cage. Also the lots a MAP are jam packed as we all know. I fear that they pull Broncos from the outside of this giant pack to QC and ship, working their way through the pile.
I can go git it.Same build, same blend, and completely different delivery timelines!

I was hoping that the tops would have been of better quality by the time our Broncos rolled down the line. However reading between the lines of @PREMiERdrum's post. The MIC issue seems to be really really really bad. I do not think Ford wants to stop production of any Bronco with a MIC so they are just putting these bad roofs on so at least they have something on the truck for when they are parked in the lot. Then as they are supposedly doing now go one by one and replace them. This is all just speculation and who knows for sure but seems to be the case to me. I hate to say it but if our trucks have MIC tops and they don't get released in a week or two I think we will be waiting for quite some time. The demo mannequin my dealer is supposed to get is a 2Door Big Bend and was built June 18th, It has yet to be released
If they are doing that - great relative to a quick fix. But we have been seeing more folks now receiving their soft top Broncos with blend dates well after mine (7/19) so If this is an issue they apparently did not go back to older builds to correct them first. As much as I want my Bronco - I have major concerns now that something with my build was screwed up because I had no constraining components (no Sas or Tow). And its not transport either because there have been a couple of folks on this thread who posted about getting the shipped email and they are in SE Pa where I live.
You can't read anything into the date of the window sticker. Once the window sticker is created, it will update every seven days. At least that has been my experience.
