September Bronco Commodity Guide - Here's how to get your Bronco scheduled more quickly!

[mpeugeot]

If you were pushed into 2022, what's the latest you can change an option? Say a Mid Package to a High Package?

I believe, and I am no expert, that you can make changes without much drama up until you have a VIN number assigned, after that you are pretty much locked and loaded (with few exceptions from what I understand).

So how is it that it’s a positive to order a Black Diamond but then a deduction because of the factory front bumper??? I finally figured that one out earlier today.

I guess I haven't been following much until this week but I reserved 7/14 and ordered in February... the OBX/ Antimatter Blue/ 4dr / MOD-Soft top combo / Lux / 2.7 / Tow which was probably more than I wanted to spend but figured why not... then in April I was told by dealer I needed to switch to MIC roof so I did... but no word until the email saying they may not have MIC until 2023... I may not have read it right away as I didn't get into the dealer until Monday but saw I missed the 16th deadline but figured I would change anyways --- so I week I have been rebuilding and rebuilding... and since this will be a commuter car more than a off road vehicle... I decided maybe I should make it more gas friendly... and should go back to the manual idea, but forgot you can get a manual with any sort of luxury--- heated seats and keyless entry LOL

So I decided on Big Bend / Cactus Grey/ 2.3 auto / 4dr / Soft top only / Mid pack / Tow

Then I read last night that I was good for most everything but the Towing... why is the Towing limited in supply?!?1? and saw that the deadline was extended to 23rd... so I went back in today to give final rebuild decision and just eliminated the tow package.

Now I think I should just go to the 2.7 engine and 4.27 rear lockers even though that may delay me again, but at least i have a soft top only .... but if I get a 2.7 that probably won't be a good commuter vehicle... but I retire soon (like 3 years) so why not LOL. well if I don't make it this year I will probably just rebuild again to different specs!!!!

OK, despite all this...I checked prices on flights from Syracuse to Des Moines, they are pretty cheap right now. So, Zach and the gang...let me know what week of 2022 you want me out there!

@Zach@Granger

Its been roughly a month since you posted this, is there an updated one for October?

 

[PrepVet]

Just cause I like math and everyone has done it before and after my initial post… day one reservation build:

Big Bend: +20
4 Door: +9
Auto: +2
2.3L: +32
Soft Top: +35
Total: 98

That must mean the rear locker and mid package with built in navigation equals out to at least negative 1.2 million.

I am all but certain I will not see my build this MY. My dealer absolutely sucks. But that’s life. At least I still get to enjoy my old JK longer.

I still won’t see it this year.

Soft Top is number 1. I think the rest is just details at this point. The other commodities should be easier to come by with less overall production.

Yes, we're still doing $2000 below invoice until the end of the month.

Can we still "99" to push out (not that there is much choice in the matter)?

Yes, you can still do that.

Do you know if there's still a 2.7L + sasquatch constraint for what's being scheduled this Thursday, Aug. 19th for September 6th production? I'm a day 2 (July 14th) reservation, 4-door,BB, 2.7L, Sasquatch, soft top, Mid, and Towing package. I reached out to my dealer this a.m. and he said only 2.3L/non-sasquatches are being scheduled..... Huh?

The only note I was given showed soft tops as the constraint. Nothing about 2.7 or sasquatch.

 

[Mango&Moose]

Any way to know the new take rate/percentage of soft tops now that the cat is out of the bag with the MIC debacle?

Is that correct? Now soft tops are a constraint?

Well don't that beat all.

I figured that was coming…they were planning on building 20% soft tops originally, now they are at 100% for a couple of months…it was unlikely they’d have enough soft tops themselves to run full output. Everything else was in enough supply that it won’t be limited because production will be so low. So, things will hinge again in Webasto and how many soft tops they will get out the next couple of months.

 

[Gr8Hortoni]

Yes, you can still do that.

When I talked to Hunter 2 weeks ago he said we couldn’t 99, we just made mine “unbuildable” for 21 (which once the hardtop plan was announced negated it anyway).
