Email from Ford once scheduled, Bronco Sport example

[XCR440]

THIS IS A BRONCO SPORT, but I thought people would be interested in seeing how it will work when reservations are scheduled. Thursdays are scheduling day and here's a sold Bronco Sport order I have in. Below is my status I get from Ford, note it was assigned a VIN and build date at 9:05.

Below is the email to the customer that was sent out at 9:25 EST, so I'm impressed with Ford getting these out so quickly. The email doesn't have the VIN is probably the only complaint I have with it.

Your vehicle has been scheduled for production.​ View Online​

Your Vehicle Is Scheduled for Production.​ Dear XXXXXXX, We are excited to let you know your 2021 Bronco Sport Outer Banks has been scheduled for production. Your vehicle is scheduled to be built the week of January 11 2021.​

More Adventure Per Inch.

The new Bronco Sport will make waiting for the weekend even harder. There’s plenty of room in the cargo area, MOLLE straps, if equipped, for extra gear and class-exclusive liftgate LED floodlights* – because there aren’t any streetlights in the wild. Every thoughtful detail – right down to the built-in bottle opener in the back – tells you your Bronco Sport is packed with the essentials, so you can pack in the adventure.

On what day did you reserve?

On what day did you reserve?

It's not mine, its a customers order, they didn't reserve, but ordered on Oct 23.

Bronco Sport goes through WBDO and we have to submit all the info like a reservation. Then Ford's scheduling them like a reservation. Escape and Edge have been this way for a year (not the emails and info, but scheduling) and its really nice, gets sold orders in customers hands much quicker than waiting for allocation, won't help on Bronco for at least the next couple years, but after the blooms off, I can see it happening.

Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for mine!
