Bronco production update 8/3: More downtime expected weeks of 8/16 and/or 8/23

[drive21bronco]

also, in the spirit of "This fucking sucks", can we collectively agree right now to not go on rants about what Ford owes us (which is trucks, of course), and just agree to shitpost and daydrink at their expense instead?

I mean, honestly, it's that or the mods end up putting a chastity belt on this thread too.

Told myself on Sunday that i'm taking the week off from drinking. Dunno how far in ill get.

And that doesn't explain why they couldn't schedule all soft-tops.....something else is amiss.

My guess chip shortage or something else is affecting the 2.7s. MICs and 2.7 are the two biggest issues with demand vs capacity with high USOB percentages.

For you 2 door guys, early reservation holders should be hearing something soon.

Thanks as always for providing more info to us than Ford ever has @PREMiERdrum. Can you tell me what YOU consider to be an "early reservation holder"?

Thanks so much!!!

“Hey Ralph, we got any more boxes of those computer chips left?”

First night holder myself, and first produced out of the ones at my dealer, and they've had a quite a few delivered and sold built long after mine. Don't know what kind of lottery ticket that is, cause sure don't feel lucky.

My dealer has had zero orders pulled yet as of yesterday to build, and several are First Editions. You are light years ahead of 95% of us as far as getting your bronco lol, light years. Be thankful.

The first week of every month is dedicated to first edition builds. If MAP hit the all stop button its probably due to the dreaded mic top. Hopefully they move up and reward customer ordered soft tops

Any insight that you can share as to what the bottle neck is?

@PREMiERdrum
Yes, this, especially built units .... built 2-doors specifically.
The ones with no soft top option.

I think that FE stuff lasted one production cycle , maybe? Lol

Sounds good to me... What does USOB?
US Order banks? What about Canada FFS!?

USOB = UnScheduled Order Bank.

Everyone on this forum must be clairvoyant....because we've known this for 2 months.

But appreciate your update.

So… You’re saying there may be a slight issue with production?
