So going up to to Mason Michigan for national high school trap shoot in early July. Figure if I am driving 5.5 hrs why not an extra hour to to MAP. Don't they have on on display out front I could walk around? and thoughts on if it would be worth the trip by then? Or would it all be empty?

For newcomers, what does MAP stand for?
MAP = Michigan Assembly Plant = the plant manufacturing our Broncos. Located in Wayne, MI (just outside Detroit).

So I went out looking for where the Broncos are being stored once they come off the line at MAP. And I hit the jackpot.

First up, the yard in Canton. (just west of the MAP). The yard is associated with a trucking company. There were a bunch of Broncos, mostly 4 doors with soft tops and a few Sasquatch builds. See the videos below. I also took a few pics of the 2 door velocity blue Base since we donā€™t see many bases. And far behind them were hundreds more in the back. And lots of room in between for more.

Then I went over to MAP to see if any Broncos were in the yards there (a few weeks ago there werenā€˜t many) And I stumbled upon a continuous flow of Broncos coming off the line and being driven to a yard on the east side of the plant. Every few minutes another one would come out of the lot and drive half a mile down to the yard. And the yard had hundreds - maybe even a thousand - Broncos accumulating back there. I couldnā€™t get any pics since it was all so dynamic and the cars in the yard were so far back. But in the 20 mins I was hanging around, I saw at least 20 drive by. It was amazing.

Curiously, one of the 4 door soft tops had ā€œRTPā€ and ā€œhard topā€ written on the driverā€˜s window. I assume the soft top will be swapped out for a hard top at some point when available, but does anyone know what RTP means?

Anyone in the Detroit area looking to see Broncos, I highly recommend heading down there. It was such a blast!

EDIT: Guys, I know there aren't thousands of Broncos in the pics and vids I posted. I only took them at the Canton yard. The MAP yards also had seas of Broncos and more coming off the line. This post was meant to convey what I saw, not what I took images of. Just to clarify.

This was June 9th, 2021, so it would have been all 2021's, and eruption green wasn't confirmed or anything yet.

RTP means Return to Plant. When a vehicle still needs something added to it that lets a driver know at a glance where it's next stop is.
They could just be waiting for a Upfit. Roof rails, brush guard, graphics etc...
