How bout 6 days a week for 12 months, 312. Minus 10 days for holidays, 302. 302,000 in 12 months. Hmm

They are working 5 days a week with some Saturdays. And they will not be building 1000 Broncos a day unless they halt Ranger production. Current estimates are 1100 units a day when fully ramped up, 70/30 Bronco/Ranger split. 750-800 Broncos a day.

well, other than colors and dealer add-ons they're pretty much going to be "like vehicles", and were all reserved in two days. So there's two reasons they would be made in the first month or so if there are no supply issues. But the supply issues seam they would be the main thing holding them back.

As far as First Editions on the lot being used as Test drive vehicles I doubt that would be happening unless you're a "well qualified" buyer lol, just because the miles would be an issue. But who knows.

I was going by what Premierdrum stated. He posted that some time ago, so he may have said 70/30 and not 80/20.

Ford will build a mix of Bronco trims based on parts allocation from their suppliers. First Edition doesn't mean first built and delivered.

And like you Mike, owning a Corvette we understand that process quite well. Every time I heard the word "constraint" I knew I was screwed.

I just ordered a new Ranger, and the funny thing is it's being held up now because of the plant playing around with the Bronco. IT'S ALREADY STARTED.......

No. Screw you guys.

 

[shoelessjoe]

there is plenty of parking in the lots surrounding the plant. there are Rangers parked there now. I will do a drive-by in a week or two to see if I can spot any, I live 10 minutes from the plant.

They shutdown for a couple weeks to retool for Bronco, but they are back up already. They are in the middle of building 138 testers over 4 weeks, alongside normal Ranger production.

I hope not. Ladies first!

Do you know if those testers will end up in journalists' hands? Or are they just testing the line?

Combination of testing the line, and safety/EPA testing. They are sent through rigorous quality checks then crashed and/or crushed. None of these will end up as show vehicles is what I was told. After these tests they will be qualified for highway use and then can be assigned VINs etc.
