I've seen questions all over the board as to the capacity Ford has to produce Broncos, and this should help you all understand their production ability.
MAP (Michigan Assembly) is currently building Rangers on one shift. The second shift is coming ahead of Bronco's launch.
At the currently planned 70/30 mix of Brocno/Ranger at MAP, they'll be putting out 1,200 Broncos a day between two 10 hour shifts. For launch year, they're able to add Saturday production at 2 Saturdays on, 1 Saturday off. (There will be no third shift added at least until the new Ranger arrives in a few years, and that will depend on demand at the time)
They'll be building 7,200 Broncos a week with Saturday on and 6,000 a week with Saturday off.
Assuming they're able to maintain that speed and cadence - and assuming the Bronco body shop can keep up with that pace - you'll be looking at the potential for over 45,000 builds in the first 2 months.
Remember that MAP has a very unique layout, where both Ranger and Bronco have their own separate body shops that merge onto on final assembly line. Each body shop would typically be running half the speed of final assembly with a 50/50 mix.
The $250,000 question is if the Bronco body shop can keep up with the pace of a 70/30 mix. We'll know the answer.... February-ish.
