No more 2023MY scheduling for hardtops, Sasquatch and LUX (reported by dealership)

[Bronck]

This thread should be locked or the OP edited, Chapman Ford is giving out false information, or at the very least misinterpreting info. Ford is still scheduling HT, Lux, and Sas.

This thread is at the top of the front page and the information in the OP from Chapman is inaccurate.

This^.
Look at the Chapman thread. A lot of complaints on how they screwed up their customers PP because they didn’t enter COVP correctly. Not sure they are reading directions well

A few suggestions I would make is dropping the modular bumper, optional wheel on BL and switching to a high package instead of LUX. The optional wheel is balanced out for the model year so that could completely hang a build if nothing else. Modular bumper is still a problem and again, if you're not a WT, consider just taking the capable option.

If these aren't items you're willing to compromise on to possibly get scheduled sooner then it may be a longer wait. Depending on how Ford handles PP for stuff not built this year, it may be worth while to just change some options rather than prolonging the torture of waiting. It comes down to if they can't get the parts in sufficient quantity, it isn't going to get built any time soon regardless of time stamp. It sound harsh but until Ford decides to come out and tell everyone they're dropping some of these options like they initially did with MIC, it's going to just continue this cycle of scheduling roulette.

We'll see what happens Tuesday.

very little of what Ashlie said is correct and she should be ashamed that she sent that out and is freaking out the entire community.

Never mind, I was just informed the OP's information is true. Dealers with a lot of "offending" orders got the word yesterday. Saw the details but not going to disclose due to confidentiality concerns but can say it is unfortunately correct. Sorry about previous speculation, just got the intel.

We don’t know that since we don’t know how many are in the Order Banks. I would assume they are part of the 85% mix in the order banks.

I asked the same question the other day. Fly by Nite answered that, in September, the 2 door was at 19% constraint against 28% Orders

Does it only affect those waiting to be scheduled or all orders that haven't been built yet, including those with already schedule built date?

Thanks for posting your information backing up my OP. If you don’t mind I’m going to add this to my OP.

I don’t understand why anybody would be so desperate to simply “order” a bronco that they’d drop anything that they actually want from their order just to jump through some sort of invisible hoop in hopes that almighty Ford will actually be able to build it. Either order what you want and be happy waiting OR (and this would be what I’d suggest) just buy the closest thing to what you want off a lot and have it now. If you’re so desperate to order it that you’re willing to compromise the perfect build then why not just make that compromise today and buy one.

I hate to answer this because I've only been privy to a portion but it looks like if you aren't scheduled or in process this will impact all orders after a certain date.

I wonder if this news affects Raptor orders?

Actually, this is getting confirmed by others so it’s Ford that should be ashamed.

This is what I saw in another group on Facebook.

If you have a VIN and scheduled for a build, then you are fine. It is the vehicles with no VIN and have not been scheduled that are impacted.

So if this is how it will go down then it’s one of two situations.

-Ashlie misinterpreted the information
-She altered, or was instructed to alter, the information to benefit their dealer
