called ford, got interesting answer

[mrjking2000]

Called ford yesterday to chat about my order. #1 just to make sure it was still in there, and #2 to try to find some kind of answer as to when they think I might be getting a VIN/build date.

Keep in mind, I'm not a reservation holder. I placed a 2022 order in early November 2021. One of the 1st 5 orders for 2022s at the dealership I like to work with about a 90 minute drive from home.

I have a 22 race red badlands with every option but leather (lux, towing, hard top, etc) so pretty much every restrained item from the past.

The extremely nice gal from Ford said she had seen a ton (like thousands) of vins be issued in the last 7-10 days for vehicles very similarly spec'd as mine with those constrained items. Essentially all fully loaded broncos. It sounds like it's only a matter of time here (possibly weeks not months) before I get a VIN and build date. So we'll see...

Might have all been hot air, but figured I'd pass it along for those still painfully waiting. I'm only 5 months in here lol.

aren't most of those built and sitting in the holding lots though waiting for chips? that doesn't really affect the 2022 orders with no vin. they can slap those modules in and get them out the door pretty quick one would think.

Nope! No VIN here. False hope is part of the Bronco Life, so you’re in the right mindset. Hope you get one soon though!

Nope. 6/14/2020 res. Not built. 2-door but no other constraints.

I am not sure why you guys just don't ask your dealership for the VIN.

I think you meant to say 6/14/2021

I did actually, when they kept saying no status change i wanted to talk to ford directly to try and pry some information out of them. Got what I was hoping for lol. A glimmer of hope.
