Latest Bronco Production Key Commodity Constraints (8/7/23)
Odd that the number of priority 99's has been going up over the past 6 weeks. Maybe they're waiting for 2024 news?
Hard tops are still a constraint two years in. Wow.

Glad I got my 2 Door 2.7L Base Squatch when I did Im starting to think that will never be offered again. My plan was to order a new one when the order banks opened figuring if it was another 2 year wait I'd be ready for a new one by then.
You'd think at some point they would finally figure out a way to get them more readily available by now. Even if they needed to find another supplier.

They need to bring another plant on line too. Now with the new Rangers being in production I’m sure they are competing for line capacity. And just wait until the hybrid Bronco comes along.

Hopefully not, aren't the unscheduled '23 orders just going to get deleted anyways? Thought Ford wasn't going to roll any of these over like they did in the past.

They're down to 13k backlog right now and 2k of them are HE's plus I doubt the new Ranger surge will last very long. If Ford had all the parts they could knock this out in a month so no need for a stand-alone factory unless the '24s push them way back up again but I think most of us that wanted them got them.

We're on the cusp of model year 4 and instead of increasing supply/capacity to meet consumer demand.... Ford is... Well what are they doing?
As a shareholder and as someone who just wants a bronco... I find this whole situation unbelievable.

I just started looking at these posts gaging how to order my build. Ordered last week a 2 door OBX with High and SAS. Figured I'd roll the dice since my dealer had allocations. The 2 door hardtops are creeping back up and now SAS is increasing again from the looks of it. Not surprised as there seemed to be an influx of new orders like myself in before the deadline.

So this really is an endangered species.
Part of me wonders if they are keeping the supply down to keep the pricing up on them. Even getting rid of the base keeps bottom lines up. Now the higher trims are magically easier to get at the year end. The profit margin on high end trims are beneficial at the MY end. Dealers are still marking up orders that people abandon in my area, so it benefits dealers also. I could be wrong though, hard to say at this point.
I feel really lucky to get my Hardtop Bronco after seeing this, it was for a customer who decided not to buy it.
