Big News: Mass Bronco production to begin March 29th (Note: Job 1 Date Unchanged) 🗓

[PREMiERdrum]

And they do not build just one model.. It will be a mix of all models going down the line with Rangers

Bronco and Ranger actually each have their own body shops and only blend onto a shared line for final assembly. With the new 2nd shift and a likely 6 day / 6 day / 5 day week rotation, they'll be building plenty.

Why would they build units only on shift 2? What would the first shift folks be doing?

We are a strange bunch here at Ford. 1st shift is midnight shift, and 2nd shift is day shift, usually starting production around 0600

Thank you. I did mfg shift work (QA) for about 8 months that's all. Thank you!!! That is very helpful info.

OP, is there any way to know which dealers are getting a demo Bronco and when they will get it (and the type if possible)?

I no longer have a relationship with any of the dealers in my state so I don't really want to call around and ask them.

You've burned bridges with every dealer in the state?!

So, if it stays like this for 4 hours, I call a doctor?

Aren't they building Rangers? Remember, this is the plant where they build Rangers.

I'm relying on info "on the ground", @LEGEND , @KyTruckPlant etc, for smart information and details.

So (probably been said already, but too lazy to go through 4 pages)...

That sure was a lot of words to say initial Job 1 date remains the same.

So is this good news? or just expected news? And if Job 1 still stays at current date, then I'd assume it's OK news.

It's good news if you thought there could be further delays in production starting. It's expected news in that things are progressing along as Ford had planned.

Fluffers for 2nd shift.

Call a Colorado dealer and tell them you decided to use Granger and see their reaction. They all know about it and they’re less than understanding in their reactions
