How does Ford let something like this happen!?!?!?!

After being through this entire ordeal, and being a day 1 order, all I can say is IT IS WORTH THE WAIT.

I originally had a Jan build date but got pushed two times. Finally got one to stick and was built week of 3/14. I’d much rather have it that way than what others have said about getting built then scuttled to ice mt for who knows how long. If that were me, I’d be driving a Jeep by now.

That sounds just about like me. Now I am driving my Bronco as it arrived 3-30. I had my reservation in on one since July 2020.

Below is just one example of the many others that I have found... How does Ford let something like this happen!?!?!?!

I've found tons of post of individuals who had the exact same or very similar builds as mine who had February/March build weeks that already have their Broncos (Congrats... no shade on the lucky ones) before the many of us who had January build weeks... there is no rhyme or reason?!?!?!

I'm certain nobody here really knows the answer (unless Ford is looking at these forums) but I'm curious and more that just a little frustrated

Cheers my fellow Bronco6Gers

Well, at least it is progress. I know that I totally suck it as I've had my VB base since Oct.. 28 '21, but, once you get either of these, you will be thrilled. I get up to 24 on the freeway using premium, and a stunning 9.8 in town, but I will never drive anything else, excepting maybe the electric VW bus if that ever becomes a thing.

Yes it sucks, but I confused about your comment about exacts or similar builds. In your example one is a Black Diamond and One is a Bad lands. It also give no mention of options selected or packages selected and reservation timestamp for the builds in question above.

I'm all for hanging Ford out to dry on this issue , as a day one reservation hold still waiting on Bronco. But let's give specifics not vague references.

Why did you mention time stamps? Nobody at Ford motor company gives a rats sack about a time stamp.

Sucks but welcome to the club . we all have been mentioning this for months now. Im Day one reservation holder july of 2020 converted to order in jan of 2021 and here I am still waiting and i have seen someone at dealership near me with same exact build all ready with their owner and they ordered just over four months and here i am going on two years.

this is the part that is most frustrating.

Pulled together some ROUGH %s on builds per week since the beginning of the year... gaps due to some weeks not having spreadsheets or no builds scheduled

It does appear January 10th & 17th builds are taking the biggest hit when it comes to delays... AGAIN THESE ARE ROUGH ESTIMATES

1/3 90% shipped
1/10 30% …
1/17 10% …
1/24 40% ….
1/31 50% …
3/14 90% …
3/21 80% …
3/28 60% …

Went down the allocation vs. reservation rabbit hole... BIG mistake : / ... It's worse than I thought!!!

 

[PapaMaxis]

Well... from their spreadsheet looks like almost 100% of the 3/28 Broncos have shipped while there is nearly zero movement from Ice Mountain!?!?!?!?!

LOL… My dealer just called me asking if I heard anything from Ford cause they have not???? WTH
