It's been quite a while since we've heard anything about the Broncos and Rangers that were being stored and waiting for parts. Just curious if there is any meaningful progress being made on clearing them out.

Anyone know if any progress has been made on the mountain?

I am only following broncos so from my perspective I think there somewhat has been. I wonder if all the backlash they have received when they all of a sudden pushed the ones holding out to July and August, have pushed them to get some of those holds finished. From the threads on here and multiple FB groups, I see a lot of January holds get delivered in June. Mine was a March chip hold, I finally got my built email but my delivery ETA was pushed back. But I have seen many March blend dates finally get their build emails. Although I think thereās such a backlog on holds, on the order track app, it says there are well over 500 broncos with the same status as Awaiting shipment. So I think many people are now feeling the pain of waiting some more now. Shipping has been such a cluster fucked from the beginning. The entire process has actually been a cluster fuck as well
I have never been so patient. Almost been two years since my reservation date.

I was up on Dirt mountain ( 3/28 build date) just got released this week, waiting on shipment now. So looks like they are trying to move some off of it, even if it is to another "wait" lot.
Iāve been on dirt mountain since January. About 3 weeks ago I finally moved to ābuiltā status but now Iām just waiting to be shipped. Who knows how long that will take. To make matters worse, I am now told that the windshields have been recalled and must be re-installed. Thereās no word on whether this will happen at the dealer or at MAP. So looks like Iāll be waiting another 6 months at this point.

I hope you get it soon.
Iām curious. Do you guys know if the prospective owners of the Broncos stashed away at the mountain were given build dates with actual VINs since then, or did Ford build a ton of āspecā units and draw from it when orders came.

We were given all that... they are not spec orders.... some may be but there are tons of waiting owners to be sitting there.

Would be nice if someone did a filmed drive by. I've been holding off on ordering until I see signs of shorter wait times.
The āmountainā is multiple parking lots in Wayne, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Allen Park. They are making progress but itās a slow process. Itās not like the assembly line. They have crews installing chips in vehicles on a daily basis. They are allocating chips for those waiting for chips and new builds.
It seems from the trends in the build weeks the ice mountain vehicles from January will all be shipped by the end of July. There has been movement in June and continuing.

I think the windshield issue is being done at the dealership. I think they just have to redo the bonding, right? ā¦.so I would assume dealerships can get this done faster than MAP, so I am hoping since I am also awaiting shipping that dealership does it.
Yes, it should be done at the dealership. However, my vehicle is still sitting there at the factory even though it is completely built. Iām just assuming they are still holding it due to the windshield issue but I canāt get any communications from ford. My vehicle went down the assembly line 6 months ago and it still sitting in a parking lot. I donāt think ford really cares about the āfasterā option of completing the recall.

When I went to complain to my dealer about the windshield recall - my bronco finally having been delivered on Wednedsay from its stay on the Mountain from the 1/17 build week - the manager said he heard Ford had hired a firm to help prioritize vehicles held in limbo, and he thought they were bringing vehicles back on the production line to finish. I have no idea if any of this is true but it might explain why there was a rush of completed vehicles in our group. Or he could be full of shite.
Drink!
Yeah, putting a vehicle back into the production line would be about the worst use of resources possible. Pure chaos. I could see them doing it in the accessory assembly shack though.

I did receive my baby bronco photo and it was dirty like it had been outside and it had the same dirt pattern when i saw her at the dealer. Maybe theyve finally made a secondary assembly line to retrofit missing modules, etc? Or perhaps vehicle photo came in the accessory shack you mentioned. Again, it was all conjecture by the manager.
