It is, none of them want to give up their “allocation” for under sticker I get it. If you haven’t driven a JL I recommend you drive one.

Yeah, I’ll likely go some time this week and see what I think.

Hmmmmm, if only Ford had another engine/transmission combo that was a good match for a Bronco?

Yes, like the easily sourced 5.2 flat plane crank motor.

Only if they pumped 4 cylinder sounds through the speakers.

Yes, this is for real.

Ford is now saying there is a shortage on modular bumpers, 2.3L engine, 10-speed auto and the entire 4x4 system…..

The lady who orders our cars at my dealer has been checking on updates daily. Today, she stumbled on this information. That explains why they cancelled scheduling this week. Who knows how long this will last.

Updated with document:

Here is a pic of the restraints on my bronco.

not a date anywhere........ most likely from June

As someone who pushed their order back to MY22 should I expect to take delivery in 2024?

Kind of wondering the same thing. Thinking about maybe considering possibly picking up a ranger or a gladiator or something as a gap ride. I’ve got 107k on my current car (and I’ll put another 10k on it by the end of the year) and the dealer quoted me $11k for it today. Dunno what it will be worth by the time my bronco arrives.

And still the fucking chips! Jeep too now...

This is all they can build now.

We don’t have a dog in this hunt, but became interested in possibility of getting a Bronco someday so started following the forum. I gotta say y’all are some of the funniest people ever! Good luck to all and stay pumped!!

It's hitting every manufacturer hard.

GM truck production canceled again due to chip shortage

Aug. 3—Detroit — General Motors Co.'s truck plants will again take a hit to production from the ongoing global chip shortage affecting the auto industry.

The Detroit automaker confirmed Tuesday its heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra truck plant in Flint will go down the week of Aug. 9 along with its light-duty truck plants Silao Assembly in Mexico and Fort Wayne Assembly in Indiana. GM expects all three plants to resume full production Aug. 16.

The downtime at the profit-rich truck plants, which GM has tried to protect all year during the supply constraint, marks a second time regular production at these plants has been hit by the shortage despite GM's efforts to avoid it.

The automaker last week had to cancel production completely at Fort Wayne and Silao and take Flint down to one shift.


GM on Tuesday confirmed it would restart production Aug. 9 at Spring Hill Assembly in Tennessee, where the Cadillac XT5, Cadillac XT6 and GMC Acadia are built, and at Ramos Assembly in Mexico, where the Chevrolet Blazer and Chevrolet Equinox are built. Both plants have been down since July 19.

Meanwhile, Lansing Delta Township Assembly where the Chevrolet Traverse and the Buick Enclave are built will take an additional week of downtime next week instead of resuming production. It has also been down since July 19.

San Luis Potosi Assembly in Mexico and CAMI Assembly in Canada will add two more weeks of downtime: Aug. 23 and Aug. 30.

Both San Luis Potosi, which builds the Equinox and GMC Terrain, and CAMI, which also builds the Equinox, were previously scheduled to resume production Aug. 23 and have been down since July 19.
