Most likely the same for me. I held on to this order even though I received my other Bronco and we changed this one for my wife. If I don't get the price protection and PO I'm out too.

White white or white black???
Ford just needs to contact Fifteen 52 and throw some zero offset Analogs on there!
Honestly, all the vendors that ford has selected for the Bronco need to have their business shut. I like Fifteen52 so I don't want that wished apon them
After following this thread for a while, I signed up so I could post my data point. I first reserved an Outer Banks in June 2021 because my then fiancé’s family are huge bronco fans and I thought that would be a cool surprise one day. I sat on it until October 2022 when Ford told me that I needed to place an order or lose my spot. I told my now wife that I had made a reservation, and we decided to go through with an order, but to switch to the Heritage for the white top and the throwback looks.
Order placed on 10/29/2022, it entered on 11/1/2022 and confirmed 11/7/2022–Two Door, Automatic, Race Red, with the big engine.
My build weeks have been:
4/24, 5/1, 5/15, 5/29, 6/19, 7/10, 7/24, 8/14, 9/11, 9/18
For the most part I’ve been taking the attitude that when it comes, it comes—nothing to be excited or bummed out until that happens. But when we got a week away from our build date in July only for it to be rescheduled, that was a bummer. We have a VIN, which as I understand it makes it likely we’ll get a build this MY but we’ll see. It would be nice to have the larger screen, but I really do want to have the first MY that the heritage was available.

My heritage was held up for about a month after my blend date, before it was shipped. The manufacturer's stickers were still on the back of the rear seats when I got it. Maybe mine was eating for the rear seats that Ford, supposedly, ran out of?

Drove the Bronco to work today. 2 door, 2.3 manual. I drove it easy, stayed off the boost. 23 mile ride and I stayed around 65-70. Had the air conditioning on. Averaged 22.5mpg. According to the Bronco of course. If it's accurate, not bad for a brand new engine, riding on 35's. Still running on the fuel from the dealer so I don't know if it's regular or premium.

Received my check today. Very nice "bonus" after I had essentially assumed I would not receive the money when signing the paperwork.
Low grade for sure. No way they would put in high test when it isn’t called for.

You're probably right. I'm gonna run it down and fill it with premium and see if I can notice a difference. Supposed to be a difference of 25hp and 10 lb ft on premium. Not sure if that will be noticeable or effect mpg.
@Lowcountry Bronco Sorry, I don’t see any information on which one is limited, or what the 641 number is. My sales/order information is pretty limited.
You got me beat. I maxed out at 10 build week changes.Am I a record holder? I received my initial "Scheduled to Build" email on 3/2/23. I have since received 13 date change emails. Has anyone else received more? They always seem to come on Tuesday. The last several have bounced back and forth for a date of 9/4 and 9/11. I just logged on to check the status and it is showing 9/18 now!So I assume I'll receive email number 14 tomorrow...
3/27-->4/10-->4/3-->4/17-->5/8 -->5/15-->5/29-->6/5-->6/29-->7/10-->
Blend of 7/13-->built 8/16-->shipped 8/17-->delivered.......

I feel your pain, for all of you still waiting for your Heritage. I feel very lucky to have received mine. I used a small dealership and I believe I was their first Heritage order when I switched over in Sept of 22. They put me at a priority code 10 when I switched. I was a priority code 19 on my previous 2022 outer banks order that was never built. My salesman said it's the only one they've seen and they don't have any others coming any time soon. With delayed scheduling and production on the 2 doors for 2023 and not taking 2 door orders for 2024, a two door Heritage will be a rare beast. Hang in there. I waited 21 months from my original order it I know there are others that have been waiting longer than that.

I got beyond lucky to find an order that someone backed out on and the dealer sold it to me at MSRP. Same story about the dealer though. Super small town, population 2400ish, and not sure how they have a ford dealership. Kinda interesting that some of the first ones went to small dealers.
Totally agree that a 2 door heritage is a rare one, even more so with a manual. How soon til we see one on the resale market???

Similar here, small dealer but in a populous area, my 4dr HE was their only HE order and originally picked for 3/20 prod…the only HE I’ve seen in Northern DE so far(other than at AutoPort). I’ll bet @gibs144 will have the only 2dr HE/HLE around these parts for quite a while…

I'm in the TriCities in Northeast TN about 4 hours from there.
First impressions: the engine, manual transmission, clutch, and steering are more like a car than a truck. It is easy to drive. The ride is a little wallowy and a little bumpy. The chassis feels solid, better than I remembered on the test drive. The radio and road noise are both better than I expected. Wireless apple car play is cool. All the modern electronics are a little annoying and will take some getting used to. It doesn’t feel as big or unwieldy as a Silverado, but you do sit up very high and have good visibility. The tires look huge and beefy and it definitely has presence. I’m looking forward to driving it more and getting more familiar with it.
