Hot off the press… constraints on modular front bumper, 2.3L engine, 10-speed auto transmission and 4x4 system

Has this been determined as legit yet?? I somehow very highly doubt all this.

How in the Sam hell do you get your dealer to tell you anything???! I can’t get squat for info. Would love to get an answer that didn’t involve “ you should have it in a couple of months” or the “systems down right now, can’t check for updates”
Ok… thanks…… I needed to get that rant out.

I know. Mine won’t tell me anything. They claim they are not allowed to. But I am already certain they sold my reservationS to other customers paying dealer markups.

OP has gone silent. Just like a legit source of info in another thread. So I assume Fords lawyers got to them.

Stig, @PREMiERdrum , now @Cincykyle1020?! (might be others, I forget) If anything, Ford should be happy for the presence and insight. Imagine knowing nothing, you'd think Ford lost your order all together!

I feel like this somehow makes sense if they are now shifting to "dealer stock" or the simpler builds as most of those are the 2.3 and of course all have the 4x4....so at this point it is just all things Bronco that limited. Although it sounds like they have chips for the Bronco!

Your dealership probably doesn't know anything. My Bronco had a build date of July 15th which the system for the dealership said "produced" and an ETA of the week of July 19th. It's not arrived, and they haven't heard any reasoning as to why. No one knows. The dealership has no idea what is happening, and I know this for a fact because it's my husband who is selling me the vehicle. I've called Ford Canada, Ford USA, the transport company it's suppose to be with. The transport company told me it's on a "hold status" with the Ford Plant and they haven't received the release to pick it up. Ford Canada and Ford USA tell me to contact my dealership, when I explain the dealership doesn't know anything, they tell me " Your dealership should be able to give you more information", I finally explain to them the deanship doesn't know, and I know this because my dealer is my husband.

It's very frustrating!!

The fact that people are now being Pushed back until mid/late September lends some credence to the OP. Some have even been pushed back twice within a day or two. Love that Ford uses the 'Friday news dump' technique to inform everyone of their status change. Seriously, WTF is going on at MAP?

Hot off the press!

Bronco parts are now a constraint.

Stay pumped, suckers

Yea drums has been oddly silent since his "train coming off the tracks" post, hope everything is ok and he just got busy in real life vs Ford bringing down the hammer.

I said it earlier in this thread. I know it's hard to parse through 30 pages. This report the OP is looking at doesn't have any relevance right now since there's no scheduling. Until I hear otherwise from Ford, the information they gave us in July about commodities is accurate other than the MIC top, which is clearly the main bottleneck. The vast majority of held units are MIC Hard Tops, which points to an issue with them that ford is QC'ing. We're having Soft tops get gate release almost immediately after production completes.

for Stig and PREMiERdrum to both suddenly go incommunicado on all platforms (B6G, the Bronco Nation, Blue Oval News, Ford Insider News) tells me Ford lawyers got involved. Stig was, I think, operating entirely independently of Ford. Acting as a kind of whistleblower. PREMiERdrum has, on the other hand, maintained a presence for far too long on multiple Ford forums (he has articles published dating back to 2007 and even earlier, also went by “The Alternator”). Not saying he was neccessarily on Ford’s payroll as a forum liaison, but his pieces were not only informative, they were extremely well written and promoted the Bronco quite effectively. Whatever his Ford connection, he was definitely a spokesman for the team. His last post definitely was of a different tone altogether, and if he Was or is on payroll, he landed himself in a heap of trouble.

Ford sent the Bronco Specialists an email update a couple weeks ago explaining the batch that were held up. It was a small blurb, but basically most Broncos produced in the time period yours was built are being held up for additional QC. We assume that to mean the MIC top need additional review, as Soft Tops are being released.

 

[DanDan]

Grown ass men giving so much credit to a company that failed everything with this release. This is unacceptable and someone needs to be held accountable not blame everything on covid, hard top manufacturer , etc.

That chart has been posted several times. I doubt it caries any weight either.
