Yea unless it’s a statement from Ford then it’s Fake News

It looks like the lockdowns in China are lifting so maybe they are cranking out the sasquatch wheels again.

True. All things being equal it would be allocations, but with the chip shortage I guess that would come into play. My son's sister-in-law got her low-option BB in 3 months, I ordered before her and I'm still waiting for my Everglades (same dealer and I'm priority 10)

Umm…they haven’t even shipped any Everglades yet. Would be impossible to get one before the 4th of July since they never expected to ship them before the start of This summer.

[*]They do not want to roll over a bunch of orders to MY23.
[*]Scheduling for future build weeks is happening every 2-3 weeks.

At this point I think I would rather that my Black Diamond be a MY23. I am so frustrated with all the delays. The bull shit excuses from sales rep, Ford Marketing, and Ford Support. The complete lack of communication from Corporate Ford and the local dealership! The interest rates are higher than they should be, I doubt Ford will give special financing for those if us who reserved in 2020. Maybe for MY23 they will have fixed a few issues with production, but that means that they may delete some features as well to save costs.

I swear I feel like a rabbit on a treadmill with Ford dangling a carrot in front of me...

Except for in ‘23 a bunch of people will jump us in the queue because a lot of peeps 99ed to wait for the mod hard top.
Also, I would be tempted to go with the new top if I get pushed back, but this seems like a terrible idea given how many issues still persist with the MIC top. Even though they have been working on the new hard top options for years it is hard to imagine it won’t have issues, constraints and cause delivery delays for the first year of production.

Says you. Others on here claim they've been shipping already. I guess no way to know.

Well, if you haven’t seen anyone post a pic on this site with them then they ain’t out there.
Press just got to drive them for first time few days ago, so that happens before Joe Schmoe gets to drive his.

This is from last month, but at a little after the 39 minute mark he goes into Bronco build and constraints.
(link takes you to video at roughly the 51 minute mark so just go back to 39 minute mark)

It's not fake news, but if the lock-downs in China have eased or lifted, then most likely they're starting back up again.

The Sasquatch package is currently constrained until the wheel availability situation is improved, which is why they stated Wildtrak as being constrained. The lock-downs in China are the reason for the low supply of Sasquatch/Wildtrak wheels.

I don’t know how Sas are constrained, they make up probably 90% of what’s on the road around here. I don’t disagree with you, this is just a observation from someone who is waiting for a non Sas.

Same response I got. My dealer does not return any calls or emails. It’s a sick joke at this point.

Hopefully soon. I’ve read that the lockdowns were lifted maybe two days ago

That’s a good question. I’m not too sure
