Try to beat that. 3/6 not even shipped. Ordered a year ago and it's the less demanded model...

Beat it as in my order was confirmed before yours, same build essentially then same in production and built dates with no shipment?

Good news for those following along. Parts should be in for the turbo tomorrow and we should have the Bronco back this Friday exactly a week after we bought it.

You might be winning on the order confirmed but what was the blend ? 1/27 me.

I've had this status for around 10 days now..

What's your current status? According to the pizza tracker, I'm still in production. I texted my salesman today, but haven't heard back yet.

Hard to remember, was in the 1/17 build week then bumped to 1/24 and think my blend was 1/28

Oh boy, now you're going to make me all hopeful again! Not sure I can handle another kick in the nuts.

I'm convinced the EDD of 5/9 for me just isnt going to happen. No build email, no updates on any platform since 2/02

It’s not, sorry. Unless your built the EDD is a complete shot in the dark. Would be much better if they just removed all together

After 4 emails sent to Ford Executives, I got a phone call from someone in the Executive Team today. She was a nice lady, and we had a good chat. Unfortunately, there were no new details that she shared with me that would be of any help to us.

She basically just tried to tell me about all the different constraints keeping certain builds from being selected for scheduling. Pretty standard canned response type stuff.

I tried explaining to her that our issue isn't that we haven't been scheduled, it's that we have, but we're either stuck "in production" or "built" for months with no explanation as to why they are stuck for so long, while more recent build weeks are getting built and shipped at a higher rate than us. Constraints have nothing to do with it, as one visit to the google drive spreadsheets can demonstrate that this issue to happening with no rhyme or reason in relation to options selected during a customer's build.

She told me that they currently have no extra visibility into what is happening at the plant/fulfillment center than we do by contacting our dealer, or chatting on ford.com. So I suggested that in future product rollouts, there should be a more open communication between the plant/fulfillment center and the corporate office. That way if there are delays, that info can be relayed to the customer, because right now we are left completely in the dark, and simply being informed would quell a lot of our frustration.

She said she would monitor my status and let me know if anything changes. Nice gesture, but I doubt she's checking it as much as I am every single day

While not super helpful, it was nice to speak with someone and air some frustration and make some suggestions.

I priced out a 2 Door Wrangler similar to my build and it was cheaper per month than the Bronco

I just purchased the 2 door Willys. Nice stance. Very happy.

This is my secondary plan as well. How long did it take to get your Jeep? My only concern with the Jeep route is if I price a Jeep similar to my Bronco build it's much more expensive.

The jeep took 8 weeks. It was a 2 door and I am told they make 1 two door for every 8 or 9 four doors so the four door may be quicker. The longest on average I have seen people waiting on the forum is 16 weeks. At least something to consider.
