It amuses me that everyone has been posting their “Blend” dates for all these weeks and didn’t know what in the hell blend means.

I didn’t know, and I guess I still don’t…..just thought I would be enlightened when and if I ever get a build/blend date.

if i am not mistaken the blend date is the date the production order hits the plant. kind of like when the work order is received by the crew, work will commence soon and is imminent, but might not have started yet... more like in line ata the plant ready to assemble.

try this link out for me - substitute the xxxxxx with your order number (4 digits) and vin number -

Saweet mine was built back in 1990. Looks to be a no go if you don't have a window sticker and just an order confirmation with initial projected build date. That said it does match the chrome inspection data so this link is much easier to use in my opinion, cheers to that!!!

"receiptDate":"2021-01-27","releaseDate":"","etaStartDate":"1990-01-01","etaEndDate":"1990-01-01","productionDate":"","shipmentDate":"","transitDate":"","make":"Ford","year":"2021","model":"Bronco","groupOrderType":"Retail (222R)

That works great! As a software developer, I'm definitely going to use this so I don't need to constantly check the status.
I'm an idiot, can't get it to work. Will it work on mobile? I figured it would. My issue is that there are only three x's for the order number in the sample address when it is four. I just put the four digits there instead and it goes nowhere. Oh well.

A little strange that Ford scheduled 4th of July blend dates on a Sunday before a week off, but so be it.

At this point, I'd rather they don't start my build til they come back from vaycay anyway. Gimmee that 'just had a week off' build. 🐎

I also read that the blend date goes on the door sticker as date of manufactured. Accurate?
