[Last Ride Bronco]

Are these apart of the 3 weeks that were discussed as down weeks in your last week or are these in addition??

Seems like a lot of people were under the impression that they could fix all of the July purgatory builds in the month of August, while still magically making good on all of the assigned August builds.

How you know? Honest question not being a dick.

Has anyone seen this? Looks like Webasto has a hand in these failing roofs also and this goes back to 2008. And Ford still went with them to produce the hard tops for the Bronco........

Sooooo Close to giving up.... Wrangle Rubicon is looking better and better

Fuck that shit! Lol. I'm buying a Bronco. I'm not in the market for just any offroader. Please... Go ahead and cancel your order

 

[lonediver2002]

well I want to give congrads to those who have gotten there Bronco's. It looks as if they are going to be the only ones being build. Ford is going to cancel the Bronco and now those with them will have a very rare vehicle. Again congrads to you all.

I'm so happy i compromised my build, to search for and purchase an abandoned order. I highly recommend you to do the same, if you want a Bronco before winter. At this rate, the Bronco is going to be the biggest flop, or the most sought after vehicle ford has produced. Depending on the GT500 and new Raptor sales.

Heads are gonna roll.

Plant brass meet every single morning... I can guarantee you that.

Wonder if the Bronco Sport sunroofs are Webasto as well ...

I'm actually curious as to be what these were and how many people recieved them. AFAIK no have recieved any Corporate swag this entire time.

Hell I'm in Oklahoma and have yet to receive anything. Don't feel like they are anti-Canadian, although I can't speak for them ;-)

Must be the Covid's fault. Damn this Delta...

Makes me wonder where they're going to point the finger, in their next email. All these problems are not covid related

You're exactly right. Truth of the matter is, all those proposed full steam ahead September builds have now slipped to oct/November. Anything after that is my2022

I'm happy for you. I really am. But I can't imagine compromising

Oh boy.... I was getting happy about full speed ahead for production seeing as my bronco (and many others) are stuck in the "in production" limbo for weeks. Here's hoping they clear the issue up and ship these before the shutdowns otherwise I'm gonna be pissed if I don't get it this month..

Well I am just about ready to pull the trigger on a New Gladiator with a 2.5'' lift and 37's with the ecodiesel. Ford can stuff it!

I ordered my wrangler 7/29 got my Vin 7/30. I’m still hoping the bronco shows up first.

These down weeks aren’t a Bronco specific thing. Ford has tentatively scheduled down weeks for chip and commodity shortages. This is across all vehicle production, not just bronco. This is also not just a Ford thing. Having contacts at a few different auto companies, on the production side, not dealers. They are all dealing with this in their own way. Some run normal for a few weeks then take a week off. Some limp along at 50% or 75% capacity. It’s not a specific ford or Bronco issue driving this.

I dunno man... Then why not build amd deliver the trucks and have the dealer network install then when available. Not the first time it's been brought up.
The production line running is the absolute most important thing! Tow hitch? Fucking add it after... Mod bumper? Who gives a shit... Add it after.
Brush guard? Dealer can add that later.
