Yup, From Ford chat this morning

Ok, so then they would be capable of seeing the reason such as a chip hold. I just wanted to double check because Chat and the help line dug into it and couldn't find a reason. Thanks and good luck!

How long ago did you speak to Laura? I have my order there with a 7/14/20 reservation. Badlands, 2 door with tow. I figured I'd have no problem with allocations with my reservation date but I'm wondering if Big Bend 4 door soft tops took all the 2022 allocations. I know there's some level of price protection but I doubt I'll be paying 2021 MSRP so I'll be burning up some of the savings at Laura. I should've went with a smaller volume MSRP dealer. Not much I can do about it now.

Last fall during the window to move unconverted reservations to a new dealer. So maybe September or October? It was late enough in the process that dealers that had taken a ton of bronco orders could probably see the writing on the wall. And I had a 2021 timestamp on my reservation too.

I’m still here my bud. I have shipped according to tracker. My detailed journey with Ford is in my signature. I was a chip hold for a month and a half.

Same as Prefer.A.Jimny, "In Production" for like 6 weeks, finally moved to "built" last week and got an email that my Bronco was shipped on Monday.
No railcar information, but I haven't looked very hard either.

This Mike at JTops, thanks for the mention. We are always here to help with questions. Magnets... yes there are actually 18 and they are commercial grade N48 neodymium with a pulling force of 12 LBS each. Going 85+mph is not easy with a mesh shade, unless you put some thought into it!
We are getting great customer feedback now that customers are installing them.
Thanks again.

Thanks Mike. I just ordered the 2-door hard top version in dense titanium. Looking forward to receiving it. Also, will you have a 2-door installation video coming? Specifically the hard top? I'm curious how your shade navigates the hardtop bracket.

Good deal. Happy for you! Did your EDD ever get bumped or was it accurate the first time? The last day for my current and first EDD is 5/14. Wondering since NE-MO not too far apart.

My EDD was initially 4/21-27. It showed up on May 6. I was out of town so didn’t get to pick it up until today.

I made the mistake of going into the May builds.. Crazy how many of them are getting built and shipped over us

Talked with Ford Chat this afternoon. Built 3/14, 1st push was 4/4-4/9, followed by pushes to 4/18 - 4/23, then 5/9 - 5/13. Told today I was pushed to 5/23 - 5/29 with a whole bunch of pre-written explanations the rep sent of the chip shortage, how they control vital functions, lame apology, working with supplier, etc. mumbo-jumbo. Couldn't provide any meaningful insight, as per usual.

That has been my biggest complaint! I understand that there is a supply shortage, I would just love to hear from Ford what is actually going on. Instead there has been no communication from Ford. Hard to be "Built Ford Tough" when our Bronco's aren't built.

 

[truckatologist]

same for me. I chatted them, I got pushed out another 2 weeks. In 2 weeks, I'm sure it will be more of the same. In march when they were building it I planned a trip in june, almost definitely I won't have the bronco by then

started toying with the idea of buying something else today.

I think that a lot of people feel the same way.

yea- I like most everything about the bronco but the reason I'm buying one is to get a manual trans in something that can hold my dogs and kids. Once I convince myself my wife can drive the dogs + baby when they need to be together, it makes it easy to look at smaller cars with better fuel economy, which can be delivered sometime in 2022
