[Update 7/30] Ready to roll: MAP readies for "full speed" Bronco production as questions loom

[Sooner]

How many 2Dr’s and how many 4Dr’s were reserved in the first 24hrs?
do you think that at least theses reservations will be filled in MY21 ?

No.

Thanks for the tip, I'm a half hour from that dealer. Might have to take a ride over there this weekend and check it out.

It’s a 2D Cyber Orange Badlands (no squatch). and does have the rock rails. It’s pretty good looking.

My first thought: this thing looks just fine with the 33’s.

LOTS of questions here, I'm sorry that I can't get to all of them.

Some notes:

- The 550 per shift total production target doesn't mean they'll be producing that many every available day from now thru December. We aren't going to see 65,000(or 55,000, or even 45,000) MY21 Broncos... and if we did there would be a HUGE number of soft top stock units heading out. There could be as many as 3 more weeks of downtime scheduled before the end of the MY21 run, along with balance adjustments and slowdowns to deal with commodity issues.

- MAP has been clearing the traced units backlog this week so I have to believe some of you will be seeing your trucks soon. I wouldn't expect the tracker to update in this situation but your dealer will get a pre-delivery notice.

- Looks like we're getting closer to a resolution on the MIC roof issues. That's all I can say.

Finally, my son (who is 9!) and I popped the clamshell off for the first time today. Super easy process. Then we went out and had some fun.

How are the dealers being notified of these units being shipped while the tracker isn’t being updated? Are they just getting info from the transport company?

This has been asked and answered, in this thread, many times already, please read the thread. (hint, no he does not work for Ford).


You and everyone else has a question for @PREMiERdrum, please be respectful of his time, he has been asked hundreds of questions and of course he cannot answer everyone of them (and please don't send him so many PM's). We should all be happy when he is able to post the information he can.

Everyone, Please stop bombarding him with so many questions as I fear this may run him off, as other past friends of the forum, with insight and information, have before him.

This, a hundred times over.

@PREMiERdrum does not work for Ford, nor he is getting paid by Ford, so there is truly no reason he needs to be taking any 'badgering' for this. He could have kept the information he has to himself, but he shares it with us, and many of us appreciate that. He now has his Bronco, and a family, and would probably prefer to spend his time enjoying both, together. Put yourself in his shoes, and show a little mercy, or as @North7 said, we may cause him just walk away.

My dealer says they are showing up unannounced. Surprise!

Seems odd that they wouldn’t get a bill of lading faxed or something like that.

@PREMiERdrum
Ross. You are the man.

BUT if I find out that your source of information comes from the plaid flannel undershirt that you've been wearing underneath this whole time.... so help me God....

Now that’s just low. You take that back. Everyone knows drummers don’t wear plaid.

Seriously though, dealers will receive a pre-delivery notice from the trucking company upon loading (convoy) or a manifest from the shipping company (rail). I'm sure that these don't always filter down to the sales folks, because 99.5% of the time nobody gives a hoot.

Oh we give a few hoots! In fact my dealer is consistently amazed at how much I know about the order/build/delivery process! lol

But seriously thanks Ross!

Love to hear the QC bottleneck is being felt with, any idea how long until this purgatory ends?

 

[Blksn955.o]

Thanks Ross, appreciate the time you provide to update us needy b!ches.

Glad you got some open air time with the kiddo.

 

[BroncoBoy22]

Thanks Ross!! Even when these updates don’t have great news we still appreciate it cuz at least we know what’s going on

Forgot to mention, the hinges were poorly painted.

I don't see anything amiss.

@Ford Motor Company tell them this is how it is supposed to be.
