Multiple Postponed Build Dates - Total of Four

[Regulator Johnson]

My original build week was supposed to be Dec 20th. On Dec 20th I got an email from Ford changing it to the week of Jan 17th. Since receiving that email I have received two more changing my build week to Jan 24th and as of today it has been changed again to Jan 31. Has anybody else experienced this?

Since receiving that email I have received two more changing my build week to Jan 24th and as of today it has been changed again to Jan 31. Has anybody else experienced this? My build is a 2 door Badlands: SAS, MIC, Tow Package, High Package and 2.7 engine. This pattern of not being able to set an accurate forecast date and then changing it multiple times suggests that Ford still has not come to grips with supply chain issues. I think there is a sizeable minority of people, who like me, are fed up with Ford and their incompetence.

EVERYONE has experienced this. EVERYONE. Blaming Ford for our current international supply chain issues seems ridiculous. Go buy something else if you are fed up (or try to...)

While the bumps aren’t fun at least you have a VIN and a build date….many of us have nothing but silence.

Pretty sure lots of people have had many different kinds of delays. You actually have a build coming up soon with 6 items that have been the cause of constraints and delays! You can either complain about a bit more delay, or you can think "yay, I'm getting my Bronco the way I want it with all those things that have been a problem." Edited: you're getting it with SEVEN constraint items.

I thought you don't get a VIN until your build is "cleared", meaning they have the parts to build it and your dealer has an open allocation?

These particular delays are probably other things. Labor, shipping etc.

Just 4, you won’t find any sympathy amongst this group.

You say they’re incompetent but you still included in your order items that are known to be in short supply. I understand not wanting to compromise but don’t complain either.

That’s window sticker, had my vin for 7 months before I got my window sticker.

You too funny....

Many more shifts than that, 9 times out of 10 didn't even get an email..

You are blessed to have a VIN and build date compared to most.

Only 4 Build Week Changes and you’re pissed?

You joined the forum in July 2020. You should frequent the forums more often. If you did, you would know this has been going on for a very long time now. I had a 1st night reservation within the 1st half hour and just had mine built.

At least you you have something happening. I'm sitting here 333 days since ordering (535 total) with no news of anything.

I guess I'll just stare at the hammock, flag, and calender and "Stay Pumped!" until 2023. 2024? 2025?

Calm down, guy. I've been bumped 3 times now and expect a few more. There are tons more like us too. Just forget about the truck for a while and live your life.. it'll eventually be here. If you can't wait, buy something else.
