Thanks for the info. Sucks for people with a real need to get their Broncos soon. I'm just kind of entertained watching the sausage being made, at this point.

Inconceivable. Unpossible. j/k...j/l

Well played.

FWIW, the network scheduling budget for all US plants still shows normal hours allocated for MAP 7/26. This week has been set aside for a while, but the final decision came today.

Prepare yourself accordingly - 7/26 is now confirmed downtime.

Thank you for the heads up. Like others have said we all greatly appreciate the information and I assure you nobody here is out to shoot the messenger!

Just called to check my date. Still holding strong at 7/15 for now.

Just in- MAP will be down the week of 7/5 to allow commodity supplies to catch back up.

One week closure, production resumes 7/12 with full speed production still on track for 8/2.

EDIT 2: The 2nd week of shutdown - 7/26 - is now confirmed as well.

This leaves three remaining weeks of ramp-up phase production (6/28, 7/12, and 7/19) before full line speed production begins on 8/2.

Your are supposed to bring us good news!

That's a kick in the sack. Hopefully you can get your new, new, new build estimate soon.

I think I'm on 5 New build dates at this point. As others have stated earlier, thanks for the updates. You have provided direction to keep on top of this. Hope I make my end of lease or Ill have a "For Sale" post up next.

I’m just gonna go ahead and give myself a build date. Sure, it won’t mean anything, but neither does anything Ford says.

Wish I could.

How's this? My rig is scheduled to hit the trim shop at 7:15 this evening ahead of final assembly tomorrow. It should be here next week, so make your way to Columbus for Broncos and Beers.

The *hard tops* are the biggest constraint, but yes there are many more parts coming into play here.

That's brutal...I might as well switch back to a MIC at this point, as they can't even build soft tops to a 300/wk capacity apparently due to other constraints.

 

[Cridlon]

We should all eventually plan a meet-up someday when we have our toys!

 

[Erock]

Welp... Ford will probably lose another 5 customers over this delay... lol

I’m not one of them though.

Bunch of folks are getting delivery of their Bronco’s now… Bunch of folks are getting build dates pushed, and then a bunch of us don’t even have a build date yet… There’s going to be a riot on here pretty soon lol.

Explains why I got moved up. I called Ford earlier today my original build date 7/26 is now 7/14 which is a Wednesday so hoping that's the actual date mine is scheduled to be built
