6/30 blend dates

[mouseratandtheduke]

So I was feeling pretty antsy about my 6/29 soft top build that has been “in production” for months, so I decided to make the rounds with Ford and my dealer to see what the hold up was. Eventually, my dealer told me that they talked to their rep who confirmed QC issues with the soft top, and that the earliest I could expect delivery would be November. Super…

I guess she could sense my disappointment because she called her rep back and arranged for me to swap out my scheduled build for their incoming second mannequin unit that’s being delivered next week (original was 4dr, base, velocity blue, soft top; mannequin is 4dr, big bend, antimatter blue, soft top)!

She also told me two things: (a) ford is going to start letting dealers swap out their 2nd mannequins with existing res holders if thats what they want, and (b) ford is working on some kind of “apology” for their delayed build customers that’s yet to be announced. I can’t confirm anything past that, just repeating what my dealer told me today.

Regardless, I couldn’t be more stoked about getting a bronco within the next couple days instead of the next couple months! Shout out to Freedom Ford in Greenville, TX for the hook up. Been doing business with them for years and can’t recommend them enough! May not be graduating with my original build but I’m leaving Dirt Mountain one way or the other!

This sounds more like skipping a grade instead of graduation. Congrats to you!!

That’s awesome! Post up pics when you get it. Mine is antimatter Blue. I think it looks great.

@mouseratandtheduke Do they consider the “delayed build” as the DM crowd or those that never got a VIN, or pushed build dates? Essentially which sticker do they belong to?

She didn’t clarify, but when I told her I was a 6/29 she seemed to know exactly the group I was talking about. I’d imagine it was us and everyone that still doesn’t have a vin but I’m not sure

Absolutely! AMB wasn’t my first choice, but their first mannequin is that color and I was surprised how good it looks in person

I went to test drive my salesman’s AMB Wildtrak a couple of weeks ago. Pulled up in the lot and parked next to a Bronco. I said to my wife that can’t be his. His is AMB and that ones Black. Then once I got out of my car and saw it from a different angle it was indeed AMB. I love the look of it in different light.

Did anyone else's ETA dates change today in the B6G tracker? I have no email and no other changes. I doubt they will make this 2021-7-28 deadline.

@CMU_Chip - you’ve already been tagged as Built, correct?

@OCDON - how about you?

I’m still marked as In Production.

Yes. Since the 19th. But no movement in shipping. The dealership is 2hrs from MAP I wish they would just put it on a damn truck already.
