April Commodity Constraints For 2021 Bronco Production

[Delli555]

Who woulda guessed that the B----O bar would be the kiss of death?

Well, it kind of makes sense given the fact they said it was going to be redesigned from the pre-production models because it covers the Bronco lettering on the grille.

I do not understand this. What does NAT mean and the percentages? And any WT regardless of 2/4dr, high or lux, leather or cloth?

For reference: I’m 1 of 2 Wildtraks out of 21 orders with my dealer. Priority code 13 (if that matters). 7/13 reservation. Leather, High pckg, MIC top, mod bumper and full bash plates, towing.

He explained it above...

 

[Tricky Dick]

Ouch I have 5 of them.

 

[WhiteMamba]

I imagine the brush bar is such a low percentage due to the redesign

See, something like that makes no sense - IMO, build the vehicle, and something that simple to install should be shipped to the dealership or some form of credit to pick one up later on. You can add it yourself. Something more complex, like Sasquatch, sure, it should be built at the factory... but not something as stupid as a bolt-on accessory.

While I don’t want to wait for a B-O bar for my FE, Ford would have no efficiency in doing that. All those concessions, shipping and paying the dealer to install them, having to scheduling the appointment, billing Ford. Many hours of labor for a part that probably installs in 70 seconds at the factory level. I guess I will patiently wait....

Completely understand that - However, for an item like this it would be easy for the consumer to attach it. Not saying to have the dealer do it.

Goodie. 8th deadly sin added, which of course I have, brush guard...

It will be interesting to see how these change MoM. Thanks for passing along lots of goofy combo of outcomes with all of this.

Technically the issue is there are too few numbers...

Benefit of the doubt that it might not be up to Ford. There could be some legal nonsense where, since you're signing a purchase contract, they have to deliver the vehicle with the equipment you ordered -- no IOUs.

Tesla owners are regretting IOUs on Full-Self Driving. They paid thousands for the promised software update that hasn't arrived yet. Now their lease is up and they can't even transfer the IOU to a new car. They pissed away thousands on a broken promise.
