The 392 Hemi is trash.
Maybe. I’ve got no first hand data to debate that so I won’t. For what it’s worth, I just e-mailed my dealer and they responded almost immediately. They aren’t expecting any more of their allocated FE’s to get scheduled until July. I hope they are wrong. Small dealership and I’m working directly with one of the owners so he typically has some idea of what to expect with his allocation….we’ll see.

I believe it. If you consider the 392 again, join the wk2 srt page. Lots of lifter failures because of the MDS system.

From what I have heard and see from other member's builds there looks like not much room in August for FE Builds. maybe room in September. The Calendar is getting tight for FE's

I think there's been so much shuffling Ford doesn't even know. Maybe it will just show up before we get an email:)

I take deep breaths and keep my mind occupied with other pursuits and FINALLY get to a place where I really don’t care that much about when my Bronco gets built. Then Thursday comes and goes in FE scheduling week with no email from Ford and I get sucked back into that emotional place I don’t like to be. Kinda pissed, kinda disappointed, and very frustrated with this whole debacle. Now I’m working my way back to “fuck it, it’ll get here when it gets here”.

I was also told last week that my order would be allocated this month. Regional rep told dealer, who emailed me. No specifics on when I'd get an email confirmation unfortunately, but gives me hope.

FE 4dr, 7/13 order

Crickets here. This was supposed to be a FE scheduling week, right? Or is the cycle all out of whack at this point? Looking around the forum it doesn’t seem like anything was scheduled anywhere.

Just more of the super clear communication and clearing up of factual misunderstandings I've come to expect from Ford since reserving.

I'm sure the usual Ford apologists will come along to mansplain why we're all stupid for expecting anything different.

So for the first time ever, I am second guessing my color choice of cactus grey on my FE order. After seeing a few more rapid red FE's get pictured, I am really debating on making the switch. Does anyone have any sage advice? I realize color is a personal opinion, but these are the only 2 colors I would get from the available options. Help!

Between the two? I would take Rapid Red. But like you said, color is highly subjective. I don’t like Cactus Gray because it reminds me too much of Haze Gray, and I wouldn’t want to feel like I was underway every time I drove it.

Thanks for the input. That's 1 for rapid red.
