Wondering if there has been any updating of the "deadly sins" list for factory orders.

My order (7/14 1 am reservation, no VIN) currently stands as:

2 door Badlands
Sasquatch
2.3L/7M
High package
Tow package
Roof rails
Brush Guard

Not for several months. FMC website states MIC, tow and PPE are the largest constraints.

Hard top is really the primary. Go with a softtop and your chances are a ton better.

The mod bumper and brush guard are also constraints. But it’s mostly just the hardtop

I haven't ready much concrete about Ford hardtop output lately on the forum. Other than people saying it's still a constraint.

Does anyone know how Ford is doing, like has Ford significantly upped their output of hardtops yet? Any numbers to show Ford's progress resolving the situation?

I'm just wondering, is Ford still having production issues outputting hardtops in any larger volume? And if so, how come after all this time, Ford still cannot produce a high volume of hardtops?

It does seem news from Webesto has dried up. We have no idea if they can make any hardtops at all.

For weekly production date changes it’s probably not these major delay constraints anymore. As your-scheduled date approaches they check inventories on hundreds of parts. They may be low on the line on anything. Say 12” screens. So they move a bunch of Lux packages out but not all of them. Bottom line it’s basically random and no real trends on specific builds.

A second Webasto plant is coming on line in the 1st Quarter of '22.

Yeah does seem to have dried up. Forum member PREMiERdrum in the past, was able to provide useful insight into how things were going with hardtop production. But I think it's been a few months since he posted about it.

Other than the general notion that hardtops are still a constraint, not much solid info on how well Ford has done correcting the manufacturing process to churn out hardtops.

Especially for those of us keen to have a 2-door model, the hardtop production rate is of a lot of interest.

I just did a slight change on my OBX order (added SAS package) and was told that the tow package is going to be a hold up on my order still waiting not expecting to see my Bronco till this summer or fall.
