Scheduling is for Bronco orders with no production week yet.
Problem is not everyone says/types it correctly. i.e. they type production but they mean schedule.

Second day reservation, just got mine yesterday. Didnt hear much then one day VIN popped up and within two weeks I had it home. Once you have a VIN you can kinda gauge how long.

Wondering if no scheduling is because they are waiting to schedule the raptors. According to the timeline they were supposed to have build dates starting in may. Just a thought.

It’s because they are scheduled through first week of May now that this weeks round of scheduling is complete. So they have two months of work already scheduled and most likely will not schedule new builds for the rest of May until last week of March, but more likely first week of April. So if you didn’t get scheduled this week, you are looking at the 2nd week of May at the earliest. I believe the next round will schedule weeks 5/9 through 5/29. Good news is all new orders will be in and cutoff, so count will go down from here.
No scheduling next week doesn’t mean the plant is shut down it simply means they scheduled the Bronco line through April and early May this week so there’s no need to schedule further into the future. If they scheduled a months worth of production every week the schedule would quickly fill up way too far into the future to manage. Ford’s rules regarding their MRP planning time fences dictate how far into the future they schedule. If you care what a MRP time fence is a quick Google search will turn up results and explanations. Some form of MRP is what nearly every manufacturer in the world uses to plan and schedule manufacturing and material procurement. MRP can be called different things as people with too much time in their hands make up new names but the overall logic remains the same with tweaks here and there.
Ford schedules a month of new orders into the production schedule at a time and does this once per month then there’s no new orders scheduled for another month. There are of course adjustments made to the existing schedule and individual Bronco orders get moved around as dictated by part and capacity availability.

I get a feeling if we don't get 22MY we're going to get screwed out of it. I also bet that's why we rarely see high end builds getting scheduled. They're saving them for when they can get full price for them.

big-time...and the shits not right. damn Ford for what they're doing and as much as I want my Bronco I want this to blow up in their faces
I had a March 7 date and it’s in production so they are definitely building
Don’t give up hope? I guess? Communication is terrible at best. Until today, my last communication from Ford was confirming my 2022 re-order, back in July.
Customer account order page, until today, showed a gray Black Diamond, (incorrect) which I slapped reservation on 7/15/20. Still said I ordered January 2021. No update on re-order, despite my receiving email confirming.
Back door link said I got picked up in January, for 2/21 week. No email from Ford.
Back door link updates to 3/7. No email from Ford.
Dealer tells me yesterday I’m bumped to 3/28. No email from Ford. Back door tracker still says 3/7.
Suddenly today I get my email from Ford! Telling me 3/21. Order page updated.
It is mystifying. Even back door link doesn’t seem entirely reliable. Maybe with order banks down they can finally get some kind of shit together here?

Congrats! Take the 101 back to Cali. That would be an epic way to break in your Bronco!
