HERITAGE EDITION Bronco Club

Darn I was hoping that maybe it would happen. One positive thing my build date has stayed 6/12 for almost three weeks. I was expecting the date to slip last Friday or early Monday but its still holding.

Right. So, once we hit mid October for build slots, those orders get pushed to 2024 and all price protections and private offers evaporate. Then Ford can sell those slots for thousands more.

If we have a VIN does that guarantee were going to get a build?

Not necessarily. Ford would rather delay the start of MY24 production than cancel a bunch of VINs. MY21 & MY22 production both were extended several weeks so they could get scheduled units built.

Me neither. The Bronco was supposed to be my top and doors off summer vehicle. I don't need it but I've now lost my second summer. Life is short. I'm going to place an order for a 2024 2 door Wrangler Willys. I can order it for 4% below invoice with my affiliate discount. If the Bronco comes in, great. I'll just cancel my Jeep order. If not, I'll have the Jeep before year's end.

So if unscheduled heritage pretty much just wait for the 24 order banks to open sounds like which will be when august September?

August 14 according to Tim Bartz is MY24 order bank opening date For Broncos.

During these times of unfettered pessimism in this group where we don't have much confidence in production, scheduling and delivery dates for He's; it is important to remember : it is never as bleak as we think it is, nor is it as good as we think it is during the good times. Obstacles and solutions will crystallize in a couple of months and then we can all either move on to another vehicle, wait and re-order a 2024 MY (for unscheduled builds) or take delivery of a much anticipated Bronco. Keep the faith.

I will tell you all, when I was at my wits end last year, I went and drove a gladiator thinking I may switch and it was a significant reminder the Bronco is a much more enjoyable vehicle to drive. Wasn’t even close. Then, when it finally arrived, my frustration melted away as I pulled off the lot. The Bronco is certainly worth the wait comparatively speaking.

Not sure if it good news or not but I went to the dealer today thinking I’d change my heritage order to a non Sasquatch badlands and maybe actually get scheduled and built this year…found out ford changed the priority on my heritage to 2…told that means it is planned to be scheduled the first week of July…so I kept the heritage order but still ordered a badlands as backup…do hope they figure out how to build a heritage and I get mine…but I still have little faith…

When did you place your original order?

I was one of the 3/27 orders and after looking at of the delays and potential problems of the mod top I started contemplating switching to Shadow Black - Black Diamond SAS two weeks ago. I lucked out and found exactly what I wanted minus the the removable hoop step on a local dealer lot. The BD was $3K more than the identical equipped Heritage except no hoop step and sig lighting and still kept dual tops. I picked up today and couldn’t be more excited it is truly a very unique ride and a lot more agile than expected (had to dodge a 18 wheeler who cut me off within the first 10 minutes of leaving the dealer). For those thinking of switching to a new Taco (they are sweet AF IMO) I say true to the Bronco and maybe consider another model. Hopefully the challenges that Ford is having with mod top come to end and you get the Bronco of your dreams. Good luck to you all i will say this thread has been amazing you are a cool group.

Spoke to soon just check the tracker build date has moved to 6/16. That probably won't stick.

I got bumped to the week of 6/26 today.
At least this time it's only a couple weeks instead of 6 or 8.

I thought yours was built and just waiting shipping or was that someone else on this thread with an M screen name? I totally could be wrong forgive me can’t remember who was waiting for that

No, that was @mjjnuge

I've consistently been among the earliest build dates, but the closest I have gotten is about 3 weeks out when it gets pushed.
