The above answers are correct and I was going to explain it, but the workshop manual does a much better job explaining it.

You've got a couple stop-ship orders on that. Produced as of 10/22, but still waiting for a couple quality checks to finish up.

Your Bronco was released to an upfitter garage for (I believe) installing the PPF that is on your build. Looks like they finished that last week, so it should be going through any final inspections any day and then get loaded onto the rail car. Your Bronco is scheduled to be built 11/20.

Yeah, it's built and just waiting for either the hardtop, airbag, or grille shutter connector... Your dealer can see it's built and wants it for themselves.

Something seems fishy... I highly doubt that Ford would offer you first in line for a Bronco Raptor, a model which hasn't even been confirmed for the 2022 model year yet. Ford announced it will be available in 2022, but that could mean it's a 2023 model. I have a feeling your dealer is trying to...

A lot of preproduction parts end up in trash bins behind facilities in Dearborn and then get scooped up by dumpster divers and sold at a premium on eBay... These are likely legitimate preproduction Warthog lamps, but it will take a significant amount of work to get them to work on your rig just...

It is used for manufacturing. Not an Easter egg of any sort.

The different trackers show different statuses throughout the production process. Make sure you use the tracker they sent in the order update email and not through your account on ford.com. Do you have a VIN? I can look it up to make sure it's still scheduled and something weird didn't happen.

Minimum mileage retirement is not a criteria for Bronco. It is only time. They are likely holding it so that they can sell it with the lowest mileage possibly once the time period is up.

You missed my point. The Bronco is designed for low speed hot driving and idling forever in extreme conditions. Any modern car will have a cooling system that operates much more efficiently that a RZR.

I agree with you on this. It seems like you just didn't understand the implications that were involved with selling a brand new Bronco online. If I were in your position, I would go talk to the dealer face to face about it, make sure they understand what your intentions are and refrain from...

This is what gets me. If it's a good friend of OP, he wouldn't be including him in this. The guy could be risking his livelihood and possibly litigation if the dealer becomes implicated in selling it to an exporter. That is blatant disregard for someone who trusts you at some level and risking...

The dealer is trying to protect itself from action by Ford or the federal government. I don't blame anyone for trying to make some money off this, I would be lying if I said I haven't thought of the same idea. However, OP tried to sell something that was not his in any way, shape, or form...

I don't think you understand the gravity of the discipline... This isn't likely a light slap on the wrist. Also, you do not own this Bronco. The dealer does until you sign the paperwork. And that paperwork has nothing to do with either your reservation nor your deposit. Neither one guaranteed...

If the dealer thinks you are selling it to an exporter, they may have good reason to not sell it to you. I'm not certain, but there are dealer agreements between the dealer and certain OEMs that they will not sell to exporters. If they do knowingly sell it to an exporter, there can be extreme...

Not sure how accurate your comparison between RZRs and the Bronco is. One of these machines is built to withstand stop-and-go traffic daily driving in Arizona, Texas, and Southern California while the other is most definitely not.

Looks like the fog light connectors according to the wiring diagrams. However, you would also have to program the BCM to accept the input from the other headlamp switch. It is ultimately the BCM that controls those lights, not the switch itself.

Yup. P1299 - Cylinder head over temp protection mode will set every time a problem is detected with any part of the cooling system, even if one of the temperature sensors is just reading off from the others. This enters limp mode, disables half the cylinders to pump air through the engine for...

That's what the warranty is for. Take it to the dealer and have them figure it out.

Mine was produced June 30, still "in production." I have a friend whose bronco was produced May 5 and it is also still "in production."
