THE my Bronco production build date has been DELAYED / MOVED BACK thread

[johnston.zach]

Exactly this. Next available is currently weeks 25-26 for new booking requests with rates unknown, but min $11k and up (port to port only).

Plus all the resin suppliers declared fore majeure which is also adding to these delays

Right - just moved 5 charter flights of resin for foam production from China to the US. It's been a nightmare..

about the time that everyone gets there Bronco it be out dated and some other car manufacturer well have come out with something better

I‘d take a legit retro revision of an FJ with a removable top.

I'm sure there are 50 other posts with this info somewhere, but...

When will I be able to walk into a Ford dealer and buy one on the spot? I originally thought "fall/winter 2021" but I see people talking about their 2022 reservations. I'm confused.

You will have better luck buying a lightly used model for MSRP +5K before you will be able buy one on the spot from a dealer. BUT, I'm sure you can find a dealer that thoughtfully "Reserved" one and would be willing to let it go for MSRP +20K.

Eh. I wouldn't be shocked if at some point next year, Ford switches to 50/50 reservations / dealer stock. That'll make people who reserved and are still waiting extra happy.

Just talked to my dealer. 6/7 production date moved to 6/28. Yay me!

That said, it doesn't bother me that much, and I'm certainly not mad at Ford. I think because we are privy to information that hasn't really been "released" to the public, we ride a much more drastic roller coaster than Joe Shmoe who doesn't have any idea b6g or BN exist. Would I appreciate an email confirming my delay? Sure. But I know if they could get them out on time, they would. They're not toying with us for their own sadistic pleasure.

My one hard date was August 9th, a delivery on either side of that changes up some vacation plans a bit. I'm still in limbo there as my current build week is right on the teetering edge anyway, but at least a bumped build week would solidify my plans.

HAD a 6/21 build week as well, but was just advised by my salesman that it's now 7/12.

Working in the supply chain industry (and currently moving the leather hides for Bronco from Brazil - which aren't delayed btw) this is not surprising at all. EVERYTHING is delayed right now, there is a serious shortage of containers in China and the EU to go with flights still operating at about 50% of pre-covid volumes. Container dwell times in LA are around 7-14 days. Pre-covid you could book a container to load in the next few days, now it's the next month. This is impacting all automotive companies - the Bronco is just heightened because it's the only one with 100k reservation holders anxiously awaiting their build dates. Most all other vehicles have enough dealer stock (at the moment) to satisfy the everyday buyer.

@DealerInsider just confirmed my 6/21 is now showing as 7/12 as well.

I’m with you - all of this is inextricably tangled up in the global supply chain problems covid policies caused.

Did you get an email from Ford letting you know about the build week change?
