Any Ford-knowledgeable know why status would move to “In Production” 7 days before the scheduled-to-day date?

They gave worst case scenarios when they pushed peoples date back. Now that things are getting ironed out people are being brought back forward

In terms of the public-facing tracker, the "production phase" begins with parts sequencing for the body shop. From what I can ascertain, the "production date" is the date your rig hits final assembly.

You got a VIN and a date. They are building before that date. I'm pretty sure it is bad luck to ask why. Just count yourself lucky. 🍀

This is totally normal for the production of any Ford vehicle. It is "in production" when the window sticker is generated. Parts are being sequenced and assigned to the blend number. Final assembly happens on the assigned build day.

I hope you are right. When I called Ford to check on my date the lady on the phone said she sees it starting 7/19 (my build date) and taking two weeks to complete the build. I took it with a grain of salt

Yeah, that's not what happens. The vehicle is completed on the build day or maybe the next depending on what time of day it starts. 2 weeks? Even with the "shipping issues" I have had most of the Ford vehicles I've ordered in my driveway (in FL) within 2-3 weeks of the build day.

I'm expecting my Bronco to be on the long end of that as it needs to go to the mod center to get it's safari bar and stickers. This is the same reason why I never order F-Series trucks with the factory bedliner. The trip to the mod center to have it sprayed in adds a week at least to the delivery time when I can take it to Line-X or Rhino and have it done in an afternoon.

By my window sticker how can you tell what day the bronco is being built?

At the top there’s a 20210622 which is the “build date”!
