Still haven't received anything about my 6/28 date, I have a soft top order so who knows.

Still no email for me, other than @DealerInsider confirmed 7/12 (from 6/21) last week for me.

They acted like they couldn't do it. But I pushed them and they asked for my vin, reservation number, address and email but after that it took like 5 seconds. Good luck.

I tried that number but they referred me to mktg. I had better luck with going straight to marketing 800-334-4375. Do not choose the Bronco option, because that is just reservation info. Wait for customer svc. Tell them you want to check on your build date. Be careful they don't misunderstand your accent and think you say "bill date" because they will then flip you to financing. not joking.

Give 'em your vin and order # and they have a lot of detail.

My only email said 6/28 build week. They now say it is 7/19 build week. Consistent with everyone else in this thread. Maybe they don't want to send additional emails until they are more certain about the new date.

I'm not suicidal about this news. But I do have real fears that I'm not going to get the rig for the summer. I definitely need to find something else in my life to get me through July. Work is suffering. I have been focusing on my grass and that's doing great.

This next bit is going to piss people off, but...
reservation: 4/13/2021
Got a note from designated dealer to come in and make an order on 4/14/2021.
Made the order on 4/14/2021.
Got a note from Ford that my order was confirmed on 4/14/2021.
Got a note from Ford on 4/22/2021 that my order was scheduled for production week of 6/28/2021.
Haven't heard anything since. Called today and now I'm told week of 7/19/2021.

I basically put my order together avoiding any challenging options I read about on the internet.
Badlands 4 door
Race Red
Soft Top
High Package
7-spd man
2.3L
MGV interior
Tow Package

non-squatch, if that's not obvious.

I was kinda against the giant 12" screen because it is going to get ruined. But I liked the idea of the extra cameras. And I didn't read about the tow package issues until after the order was in.

I'm hoping to get a white hard top before winter. I'm not happy about a 4-cyl but I would have waited two years instead of going to an auto trans. If a diesel ever becomes available, I will give this car to one of my kids.

Was June 28th, got email from Ford minutes ago saying I’m now week of July 18! Fuck.

Official email changing my build date from 6/7 to 6/28 just came. Hoping it sticks, I will still be very happy.

Just got the email from Ford. I was in the 2nd batch of emails. Delayed from June 21 to July 12. I’m not a priority build.

 

[MN_OuterBanks]

Just got the dreaded email. Moved from 6/7 to 6/28. Was hoping I made it through but no luck. Now looking at august delivery if the 6/28 sticks.

Has anyone seen on autotrader what the jeep dealers are asking for the new Rubicon on steroids? $100,000!! I dont see it! What do you think?

 

[604Bronco]

I considered the 392 before I ordered my Bronco. Then when I figured out what they'd be going for, I took a hard pass. Not worth it IMO.

You could probably find a cheap beater to get in the mean time.

Based on the number of times I've seen this as an answer to the problem, I think the beaters won't be so cheap anymore.

I just got it also, originally scheduled for week of 6/28

I think that they are trying to get paid and some fool will pay it and one party will be happy for a long time and the other party will be happy until they see a bronco then they will have to have that toy.

 

[stone_sloth]

This just came in. Thankfully I’ve only lost a week

New email tonight - Week of 6/28. (6/28 - 7/3)

 

[SirBenimen]

Was originally scheduled for the week of June 7th. Just got pushed back! Anyone else or is it just me?
