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.Hard tops are still a constraint two years in. Wow.
The Claycomo plant in KC pumps out F150's like crazy. Would love to see them tool up for the Bronco since the F150 is getting over produced now.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.Odd that the number of priority 99's has been going up over the past 6 weeks. Maybe they're waiting for 2024 news?
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.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.
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.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.
