Production update: As shutdown weeks loom, MAP hits its stride. Early 2 door reservation holders should hear something soon

[PREMiERdrum]

So the blend date is the day our Broncos should come off the line? Mine is 7/2 so, I'm hoping I get a delivery window sometime in the next few days. Thanks for all the information you provide as well! Hoping my Bronco gets shipped out next week even though the shutdown is on.

Congratulations! Your rig should come off the line today and be tagged for release right after the holiday. Here's hoping for a quick train ride!

<--- this. Ford tossed allocations basically out the window with their last e-mail. They will fill a dealers allocations with Stock if they have no clean orders they can build.

Actually, Ford tossing allocations out the window would be to say to a dealer once there are no clean builds we're going to stop sending you Broncos and you'll get less than your allocation.

Instead, Ford is sticking to allocations, even if that means a few of the allocated number are going to be dealer stock instead of customer reservations.

The allocation of 17 was shared with me early in the process. If that has changed, I am unaware of the revised figure. I would gladly continue my efforts to shed constrained commodities, but my 2-door seems to prevent further actions. I was/am hoping for information regarding options for 2-door buyers who might consider soft tops. I sense time is running out.

I'm with ya. Very very early 7/14 2 Dr here. But moved to a dealer with a group of others after negotiating a deal. At the time, didn't think filling orders would be an issue. Now it's a big concern. I've always been hoping they would release a soft top. Would like to see some info for 2 doors such as Webasto will concentrate of 2 doors, or early reservations can opt for soft top, etc.

@PREMiERdrum will there be more scheduling for August builds next week? SAC is saying no more until early August for September builds, trying to get clarification.

This has been fluid.

The last I had heard, yesterday was going to be just FEs, next Thursday was going to be a big dump of non-FEs, and the following week would be cleanup.

Obviously they scheduled a big mixed bag yesterday but I still expect at least some units to be scheduled over the next 2 weeks before they start scheduling September.

@PREMiERdrum do you think early 2dr reservation holders will get some communication in the next few weeks...related to top options or Webasto production; good or bad?

thanks! I'm about #65/108 scheduled at SAC with 50 having moved up so far. With a 3am 7/14 reservation of 4 door BD with MIC, V6 and Sasquatch I'm really hoping for September at the latest. I'm just trying not to be in that November/December spot when 2022MY would be so close.

Curious...how do you want a WT, but then gonto a BL....and even worse, keep the thing that is preventing you from getting your WT in the first place (the MIC)?

If a person wants a WT their next go to would be a built up Big bend with Sandstone but soft top. (That build can = a WT basically) or maybe a Obx if you wanted the Lux or High Package. But to go from a WT to a dark and plastic interior And to a build that cost just as much as a WT (or in your case more if you kept the MIC).

I was pretty equally interested in both to begin with.

Edit for clarity:

Gosh, I can't seem to understand ANYTHING about these different trim levels. The way that commodities sheet read the Wildtrak was way more constrained than other models with MIC tops. I may yet switch in a soft top, my hesitancy there is that I'm not very confident a MIC top will be available as an accessory in any reasonable amount of time. As for the interior: I did absolutely want a high package, so I'd have to stick with OBX, BL, WT. I definitely preferred an all black interior to the sandstone. As for 2.7 and Sasquatch yeah, these are the things I want the most, not changing those regardless.

Ah gatcha... Yeah if you were not a fan of the sandstone then I can totally see BL choice. I've stayed clear of BL mainly because the MVG is going to get hot, and by the time I add what I want (2.7, MIC, and Sasquatch) the BL is more expensive than the WT.

If I leave off Sasquatch, I'm still getting the better Axles and Front locker, but even then, with a sodt too, I'm really close to the WT in price that has everything I truly want.

Good luck on your choice..hope it works out for you.

You (and a bunch of friends) basically talked me into it... I went with the soft top this morning. I had intended to sleep on it and decide. I'm not sure if I'll spring for a MIC, perhaps I'll wait for a white modular in 2027 when they're back in production.

Early 7/14 res date (like 2 minutes after midnight or something)

Is it just me, or does everyone else just search for Ross rather than new threads each time the get on???

So, I just got off phone with the Ford Bronco customer service line, she said my build week was again bouncing "between July 26th and August 2nd." When I said I was curious about that because from what we heard the plant was going to be closed week of July 26th she chuckled and asked "where did you hear that, on a forum." I said well yeah. She said oh okay and chuckled again.... So I don't really have any idea what's going on lol. @PREMiERdrum isn't this kinda weird?! You'd think CS would know right? Is there a chance they might be running the week of the 26th?! Lol

True, but you could put seat covers on the MGV and have the best of both worlds, if it was a high quality cover (something that I didn't think of prior to ordering, otherwise, I might have checked the BL box).
