The Morning After: Bronco Production News Update and Notes [June 16]

[Compta38]

That's just not true. Look at my build below, I checked my PSP date again yesterday, it hasn't changed in the past month (it still could).

Also reservation date/order is not the only factor, there are a host of other factors that may cause one Bronco to be built earlier than another.

Reservation 1/15/2021
Order 5/4/2021
VIN assigned and PSP set 5/24/2021
PSP date 7/26/2021

I have all the problem items other than SAS.

How will it shake out, who knows, I might get bumped between now and 7/26/2021. It's just the way it is, and no, it's not fair for some of the people who were first to say "yes, I want one".

The original post was refreshing, because it was straight forward and transparent. This is the communication that has been needed.

priority order more than likely.

This statement unfortunately has sparked some serious concern!

This suggests those reservations converted to orders that remain unfulfilled at the end of the MY2021 production run, will have priority over those who deferred to MY2022 (encouraged to do so by Ford & the dealerships) no matter their reservation date.

Please tell me that's not the case, because that's flat out wrong!!

Serious question: why do you think spillover MY21 orders will have priority over MY22 orders?

I am guessing by Nov 2021 or so, where Ford has scheduled all they can for MY21. All unbuilt MY21 orders (remember, MY21 was a "wishlist" item, not guaranteed by any means. Meaning everyone can choose MY21, but certainly not everyone will be able to fit into the scheduling) will become MY22 also, and fall back inline based on scheduling formula (timestamp, commodity, batching, etc etc).

No priority that I am aware of. I think that it's based on the allocation of vehicles that went through military auto sales, but I am no one special and was not given any priority or special treatment.

Unless you are aware of any special priority given to military auto sales.

Doing Levine's job once again. Thanks for the updates.

It just might be Levine, and that is cool with me.

See how nice that is?? FORD, see how that works??? happy people just to get actual info!!! So nice and refreshing. Open the door, mushrooms are coming out of the dark!

We needed some good news.

I like that we are down to just the hard top being a supply limit. Hopefully that will get better soon.

While I'm sure it's little solace to those with early reservations and still no VIN, yesterday's announcement was a huge step forward in Bringing Back Bronco. While there is a LOT to be excited about, it's worth tempering our expectations a bit a lot of yesterday's info.

So, do you feel more excited to know that Broncos are being built or more frustrated that yours ain't one of them?

Personally, it makes me more anxious. I am definitely checking on my order more often and getting just a little more disappointed when I see mine has not been scheduled. First 6 hour reservation 2DR, 2.3, MT, LUX,

Peter, I merely stated Ross's wording "Suggests..." it as a possibility. Otherwise I wholeheartedly agree with your understanding of how it should play out.

"I'm out in Dayton quite a bit! We're just a few miles off of 70 east of Columbus so it's a flat, straight shot. I'll return the offer - my Bronco is being built next Thursday so I should have it in a few weeks."

Sounds good. Im in Centerville (south side of Dayton just off 675). Unfortunately mine is still 2 months out from getting built at this point. I may take you up on a trip to see yours! I appreciate it!!

Dealers got 1 or 2 priority orders and you could possibly have been bumped up.

As a drummer, I love you are sell great percussion instruments and are helping keep music alive in schools!

As a Bronco order holder with an ever-moving build date, I am very grateful for the time, effort and consideration you have shown at helping us get threw this process with great knowledge...Thank You!

As a drummer, did you go with the 4 door or 2 door?

Thanks Ross for your detailed messages to this forum. It's very much appreciated.

Things are not moving forward until all 6/13 and 7/14 reservation are scheduled this model year. Terrible Launch. What was Ford thinking?
