2026 on Order, what can I expect?

[t4dey]

They replaced the 2.3 last year and that seemed to backup the MT broncos last year and cause the delays. But that backup seems to have ended. I saw a flood of MT dealer orders arrive by fall of 2025. And people ordering 2026 MT Broncos were given schedules in line with everyone else for early 2026 builds.

Maybe your dealer didn’t have any allocations when you placed your order. That would certainly delay matters. Did you ask your dealer if they had any allocations for your Bronco order?

I contacted a handful of dealers before placing an order and they all gave me a very direct ‘yes, of course we have allocations available’ response. Beyond that I don’t know how to verify if that was true.

Ford does scheduling on Thursdays...
Mine went into 'production' on the tracker this week, but still showing 'week of' Jan. 19. And no Window sticker yet...which typically comes 2 weeks before production.
Ordered end of October...
If you haven't got a VIN yet, press your dealer. I'm sure one was issued by now

I ordered a 2025 Heritage edition 4 door Ruby Red on June 20, 2025. Immediately got email confirming order. next week got vin number to track order. it says it was built on 12/17 and shipped on 12/31. It hasn't made it to dealer yet.

Well, another Thursday has passed without the build being scheduled. I’m curious if you might know this answer, regarding dealer allocation availability.

when I placed the order through the dealer, I got an email from ford with an order number (1211) does that imply an allocation was there? Or nothing?

I ordered 12/22 and nothing yet either. Saw someone else ordered their‘s (26 OB SAS) last weekend and they already have production sched 3/2.

it’s a waiting game.

I have a 2D Badlands Auto on order through Granger. The sticker populated earlier this week and it has a blend date of 1/23. No “build” date on the tracker though.

Yeah, I think maybe they're not 100% sure of the production startup yet?
However, yours is a Friday build
Mines the 24th...next Saturday

If you aren't getting solid answers through the order tracking online, contact your dealer. They have access to more information and should explain any delays. Good luck...sounds like a fun spec.

I have a 2026 4dr Badlands Manual scheduled for week of March 2nd. Pretty excited.

I would contact your dealer directly.

Wanted to ask a quick clarification- is 1/14 the day you placed the order with your Ford dealer?

 

[26BroBad]

Yes. I placed the ordered 01/14. My dealer had allocations for Broncos. I received the email from Ford the next day(01/15).

 

[t4dey]

Pressed my dealer and got this response.
I’m curious if anyone can provide any real context around it?

Looking closer, did you order the Black Appearance Package? Pretty sure those are the rims with that package. If so, my build will be delayed too.

Yes, that’s correct.

Broader concern is the 7spd manual...which impacts many of us.
