2022 model year "Balance Out" date is November 10. Then switchover to 2023 model year

I think 3K per week is more accurate. Given the average build week spreadsheet has 50-60 entries, the sheets represent about 2% of the actual build each week.

Where are you getting that number? The last three weeks have had closer to 120+ in their build weeks.

Wish there was a cranky pants emoji to give

I would make great use of it.

Maybe, I am a 7/14 res at granger with the same build, and a nearly positive I will get bumped.

Have you checked your position at Granger? I had a day one reservation(for a BaseSqch, like an idiot I cancelled it) and was in a position to get it by the end of 2022. I bet you will get yours unless Ford just stops building two doors. Hey, is this the point I say “my dealer says” and watch this thread come unglued?

I didn’t know ford wasn’t making roughly 5000 units per week. Holy smokes! You would think no one would be waiting long at that rate

Probably wouldn't if Ford would BUILD them for the reservation holders! Instead, they are building and shipping to dealers to sell to those without reservations with HUGE MARKUPS!

I'm not fortunate enough to have been in past build weeks

I'm using more recent weeks, 3/21 and on. When I was in 4/4 we had about 60. I'm now in 4/11 and don't think we hit 50 yet.

I'm more interested to know when the 2023 order banks will open. Geez, it wasn't that long ago that I was looking forward to my 2021 Bronco, now I'm praying I get one in 2023.

What does that mean, balance out? Like build times will normalize?

Essentially it means the last 2022 models will be built on 11/10. Also means beginning of MY2023 will be 11/10 later in the day after break in production to make required changes or the day after.

so bright side it......there's a long way to go in the 2022 production.

Not sure how we'd ever figure this out, but would be interesting to know how many MY22 orders still need built. Seems like Ford is building around 5,000 per week right now (just a guess based on some of the 'build week' posts), so if we say there's 32 weeks until Nov 10, that would mean they could build 160,000 by then. Think there's more than 160,000 left to build?

I don't think they're building 5,000 per week, although I would be happy to be wong. Pretty sure they built 12k in January and 5K in February. And when I say built, I mean sold, those are the numbers I'm going off of.

If that's the case if I'm not scheduled by about July I will 99 my order again and wait for the 2023. Maybe Ford will remove the stupid ass carpet from backseats of Badlands and give us a non shitty green.

What is this carpet you speak of?

I was informed by my salesperson that the Bronco will “ Balance Out” for the 2022 model year on November 10, 2022! What is everyone’s thoughts?

Explanation of "balance out" by @HBTFD

“ Balance out” date in a plant means when the last 2022 rolls off the line and the 2023 models start. Typically in a model change that’s minor the balance out will be a short gap between broncos in the line. The changeover is only for new colors, added/deleted content, or a clean part number cutoff for engineering changes. Also line assemblers jobs are changed, typically a few operations are eliminated and the remainder have work added. No one loses their job, normal attrition is used to adjust the working number.​

So do you think "by September" we'll have '23 ordering info and options available?

Would be nice to move my 99'd order over finally.

 

[ActMoritz]

Sure...... Says my 2021 delived in 2022

 

[airishfan]

Sounds like the 2021 to 2022 switch over. A lot of people who thought they will be getting a 2022 will be getting a 2023.

I thought I was going get a 2021

What color green are you looking for? In person eruption looks just like Kawasaki watercraft “Kawi green” it’s a pretty mean looking color shade or sun.
