Bronco Mass Production - 6/10 Update. Good news from MAP - body shop output now matches Ranger

[Dro]

With so many 2 doors being delayed I wonder if this could result in some 4 doors getting moved up.

I'm here for this!! LFG

Empathizing with all 2door order holders tho.

Brad if I didn't know you better I would say you are trying to stir the pot .

If I had my way we’d all be driving around enjoying these things! It’s just crazy to see people with 2 door builds saying they’ve been delayed 3 weeks. I doubt Ford is going to just sit on the extra wheels, gears, Lux packages etc.

I think that’s why Henry wanted to control every aspect of his supply chain!

Might learn a lesson from the past.

Yes...

Just called Ford and my 2-door Badlands was pushed from 6/28 to 7/19 to 8/16. No email was sent for any of the delays. Kind of comical at this point...

Just got cleared to share a bit more. Many of the 2 door floor pans are being delivered from FlexNGate damaged, apparently due to the logistics surrounding the transport racks.

MAP has an area set up to repair them but it is obviously causing delays in getting the body shop moving on 2 doors in appreciable numbers.

A longer-term solution is in the works but I can't say for certain how long that will take.

So it looks like Ford is punting a lot of 2 doors to August. Any glimmer of hope they will pull back into July once Ford has a handle on the scope?

I just called as well. My 2dr was bumped to 8/2 now.

This can't be normal. I know way too much information about this whole process. I'm going to miss the days where I bought off the lot.

I can't understand how 'transport logistics' weren't nailed down after 3 months of Bronco production.

Hopefully by August that new issue gets fixed or those of us that reserved after July are gonna be in the boat even longer

We're just learning of it...it may have been happening all along.

Supplier not using the correct shipping racks or the floor pans are getting damaged before they are loaded in the shipping racks. There could be a bunch of different variables.

Are they trying to Uber these parts to MAP on the cheap?

Design flaw in the racks that wasn't exposed until full(er) loads were being transported.

They might get to MAP undamaged if they did use Uber.
