Your VIN number and Tracking Production Of Your Bronco

[jonwithanelcamino]

Everyone getting VINs regardless of reservation or build date, would also imply that no one would be able to edit their order even if they are a later in '21 build.

Its been previously discussed that you can edit your order until your VIN is assigned.

Before March 2021? As in February 28th as the cutoff? Or the actual March 19th cutoff?

March 19th cut off.

March 19th cut off.

Or final April 8th cut-off?

FYI, this is contradictory to what Esteban, the Bronco Brand Manager said in the Hostage Video. He said that people would get their "delivery window estimate" in May, and then be able to decide whether they wanted to change their build to expedite the VIN assignment and scheduling.

After reading this-
So if Ford determines that there are no option changes that you could make that would impact the " delivery window estimate ", why would they contact you about removing options?
Sounds like some orders are about to be scheduled and Vin assigned before "May". Guess they will have no chance or need to modify their orders.

I thought it was you could change trim but not body or driveline after the VIN is created. And once it’s scheduled then no changes. And at this point if you are still making changes... just stop.

March 19th cut off.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

This thing. Like @swooshdave said.

Wonder if order # has anything to do with when they were received ?? My # is 4821

Agreed (it’s contradictory), but what Esteban said didn’t really make logical sense. Ford is already maxed out for 2021 production, so what is the value in allowing people to continue to tinker with their build past the deadline in order to try to fit said build into 2021, when 2021 is at max capacity for production. That just seems..... stupid.

Ford was working in the opposite direction when they pushed certain features (ie painted hard top, mansquatch) into 2022 - hoping to get more people to push their builds back instead.

Yeah, I did not get one.

I agree, I think that may have been the original plan. Given the timelines, this seems to be a less plausible route now than a few months ago.

Feels like a doctors office. We will be going from waiting room to waiting room until we finally are called in to the dealers room to be seen. At this point what's a few more rooms, I'm already here anyways.

Yeah, but it's starting to feel like a colorectal exam with a prostate screening for good measure.

Ultimately who knows and all of the speculation and "guessing" with a hint of lying in order to get some forum attention is sort of making things worse.

Sure, I'm an impatient guy; think most men are, but this isn't a process that we didn't see coming and Ford's communication may not be the best, but they've shared more detail in this roll out than I remember any other manufacturer sharing in the past. Then add COVID and the semiconductor shortage, high demand, and whatever else and it just seems like crap is just being made up at this point.

There isn't much logic to this....

I don't know how many people have ever special ordered a vehicle from Ford and used the tracking tools. I can only relate the emotions to watching your favorite football team play a game against its biggest rival when both teams are equally matched and the refs are from the Pac 12 and seemingly change the rules on a whim.

It's entertaining. It's frustrating. Just when you think its going good the momentum changes. You watch the action with your own eyes and still can't see the penalty that just got called.

Then in shipping its like a fumble and pile of bodies fighting for the ball in the 4th quarter and no one knows what the hell is going on. No one can tell you where it is or who has it. Not even the guys in the pile really know. After a long while it suddenly appears! Then you're happy, mad, and frustrated, all at the same time.

I'm looking forward to it again.

If that's the case, what the heck does "E001" mean for mine? Must be the first one to roll off the assembly line lol j/k

Just remember a cucumber can always become a pickle, but a pickle can never become a cucumber. Whatever the F__K that means. I kinda like being the pickle

Being only 4 digits, wouldn't this be dealer specific maybe?
