How long was the gap between your build week email to build day email?
I don't think that "build day" emails are a thing. Your dealership can tell you if you've been assigned a build day, and the Bronco phone line can as well.

I called the Bronco line yesterday for the first time and gave them my VIN. I wanted to know if my build was still the week of 7/26 and they said i was but they did not have it scheduled for an actual day yet.....so I guess 5 weeks out is a little much for that info.

My build day wasn't scheduled until Tuesday evening! It entered the "In Production" phase Wednesday evening and will roll off of final assembly next Thursday.

Is the Bronco phone line the same as the regular Ford customer service line? I just called with my VIN and they didn’t have any information. I was originally scheduled for week of 6/21 and got pushed back to 7/5.

This number, then select the Bronco Specialist option: 1-800-334-4375.
At minimum, they will be able to tell you if your scheduled build week has been changed. Once you have a build date, they can tell you that too.

Depends on a lot of things, but build day can be assigned anywhere from a month to a week out from the build week. Right now I have Build dates for orders in weeks 6/28,7/5,7/12, and 7/19. Nothing beyond that.

FWIW start of production is actually about a week before final assembly when it gets sent to plant. I have a couple of customer orders being built for FA Week of 6/21.

Yep, 6-8 days ahead of final for parts to be sequenced and body to be scheduled.

Pretty sure that was address already... that ford has slid dates out from the email and didn't send any notification. But that these dates were the worst case and that they could pull back in.

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.

Production:
- MAP is currently pushing out about 125 a shift, and that will swell to 150 a shift by Friday. The next stepped target increase will be 200 per shift, but don't look for them to ramp up to that too quickly. MAP has a sterling reputation for quality and management won't sacrifice that for speed.
- Bronco's body shop (remember that Bronco and Ranger have fully separate body shops that "Y" feed onto one final assembly line) hit over *300* bodies completed during a single shift yesterday, a major milestone in getting the entire operation up to full speed. Body won't be pushing out these numbers consistently until Final Assembly can keep up, but the systems are working.
- With 125,000 reservations converted to orders, we could be looking at late Q2 2022 for completion of reservations as long as no other major constraints pop up. Earlier estimates were mid- to late-Q3.
- There was understandably a lot of enthusiasm yesterday when the early production stats showed 35% of rigs produced up to that point were 2-door models. However, please understand that this ratio was skewed by production of the dealer demo units (many of which were 2 doors). 2-door production will remain constrained by roof issues. See below.

Constraints:
- Roofs. While Tow, Squatch, and Lux packages are running a bit behind demand, the MIC hardtop remains the biggest constraint in getting your rig. Webasto's Plymouth plant is fairly well staffed now with training ongoing, but the pace of MIC tops built by Ford employees (mainly coming from Flat Rock) over their shut down won't be matched for a while. Expect 2 door MIC tops to lag behind 4 door MIC tops for the summer.
- In a bit of good news for the 2-door crowd, the floorpan issue has been addressed to satisfaction.
- I have not heard a completely firm answer on the MY22 mod tops, but it's looking more likely that they'll come out of Plymouth as originally planned instead of trying to get a new supplier moving this late in the game. With Ford's continued presence at that plant, I'm optimistic that this is the better course of action.

The Bronco Brand:
- Conquest results of both Sport sales and Bronco 2/4dr reservations is widely outpacing targets, showing strong proof of concept in the 3-model launch portfolio. Warthog's announcement isn't too far off, and I expect we could see the next member of the Bronco family debut in the next 18 months (even if in concept form).
- The bespoke "Bronco" showroom options - developed by Ford at the request of dealers - will play a part in the brand's second wave of growth as first wave deliveries wrap up. I can't say too much more, but these will be much more than upfitting and accessory displays.

Going Forward:
Things are really moving now. If you're an early reservation holder who didn't defer to MY22 for the mod top, you should be hearing something in the next few weeks of scheduling. If you had an order (mostly 2 doors) pushed from June to July to August, there's hope that you'll be pulled back forward once roof supply picks up a bit. The last wave of delays was more of a "worst case scenario" to avoid even more disappointment. I would expect targets and dates from here on out to be sandbagged a bit in the hope of overdelivering.
pick up version asap please!!
