Well Iā€™m all of those and tow with a July 5th build date. So we will see
I donā€™t doubt the ā€œdeadly sinsā€ and other constraints exist but I almost wonder sometimes if itā€™s not the only thing at play with regards to timestamp vs commodity vs build dates? It would be a good means for Ford to attempt to manage the customers expectations of this roll out to perhaps overemphasize the commodity constraints slightly so everyone was in a constant commodity state of confusion.

It might be easier to have customers think that their own configuration is keeping them
from getting a VIN & build date vs Ford being at fault and maybe even flat out disregarding the whole reservation timestamp thing all together?

Itā€™s a little bit ā€œtinfoil hatā€ of me I know, but I find it crazy and genuinely frustrating when a members here say ā€œI got a build date with XY&Z configurationā€ and then another guy with a day one minute one reservation has no VIN, despite having a close to identical set of options?

I have my VIN so Iā€™m all good, but many people still donā€™t and I do feel for them! Hopefully everyone gets something soon and MAP surpasses their projected quotas and saves the day for Ford?

A pattern has developed. May notifications went to June/July build. A June notification goes to August builds. So each moth move to the next build month. July notification would be September builds.
So I thought August was the big ramp up. It doesn't feel like there are a big ramp up of August notifications on this site.

This is what I sound like whenever someone asks me where my Bronco is
The main reason why almost nobody knows I have one on order. šŸ˜„

That was the point of this thread. They havenā€™t scheduled August yet.

this is just getting ridiculous. i'd go buy something else if there was another SUV on the market worth a damn at all (that isnt the explorer, mind you)

With all the MIC units push backed to August, I do wonder if theyā€™ll back fill July with more soft tops.

So, it looks like they are going to be scheduling for the full month of August . Is this a change, I thought previously they were only scheduling for a week. If this is now true, that they are scheduling a full month of production. Hopefully this is the " good news coming " that a poster on another thread alluded to. As a day one reservation and #12 of 86 , I might be starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. (i dropped the tow package 2 weeks ago and ordered it through the parts dept -- supposed to be in my hands any day now ).
How much was the tow kit from Ford? I did the same and dropped it, but didn't realize I could order it separate from the parts department.

Although not necessarily malicious, it seems unlikely that the scheduling software is entirely fair to individual reservation holders. Even slight mistakes that would normally be undetectable could result in extreme unfairness given the unusual commodity limitations.

Plus there is a known bug that it won't schedule a 2dr reserved in the first 15 minutes for delivery to Wyoming. Sorry @WyoBronc. ;)

Ha. I knew it. Although I should be OK since I traveled 50 miles or so down I25 and ordered from Fort Collins, Colorado.

Yo my salesman was (unbenounced to me) at the hospital waiting for their first born last I checked with him. Lets just say I'm giving him a few weeks without hearing from me, even though I really want to know if I was previewed or not lol
