Latest Bronco Production Key Commodity Constraints + Total Retail Unscheduled Orders (9/5/23)

BTW all scheduling appears on hold. No info released this week.

Note: There are currently 10,171 total retail unscheduled orders.

Retail USOB: Is the current mix of retail orders in the unscheduled order bank (USOB) at the time the report was run. The report only looks at orders that are “clean”, meaning they do not have a compatibility error, material hold or on 99 priority code.

why don't they just say it, no more 23 scheduling because we're way behind and the union's about to strike. Everyone knows anyways.

Does it look like a lot of the broncos scheduled for week of 9/18 are not going to get produced? Is it possible to get pushed forward to an earlier date?

My Wildtrak, iconic silver is scheduled for 9/18 also?!?!?!

Wish we knew the Braptor reading numbers... since we are waiting.

So 1500 standard HEs still sitting waiting and those that are lucky enough to be scheduled have been pushed and pulled more than a stretch Armstrong.

Yeah, just call up your sales person and ask for priority 10 code, and you'll probably get bumped to tomorrow. Happens all the time, they build Broncos so fast that anyone can get bumped up.

What is the significance of the priority code? Lower the better? Higher the better?

Not as much as people want to think, your priority code is for that dealer only within their allocations. Dealers can assign 3-19 so you can be a 3 but dealer doesn't have the allocation for say a 2 door or Ford doesn't have the commodities to build your lux package and a 19 BB 4 door soft top could fill the spot over yours at that dealer.

Mine shows to be in production as I type, but it's just my luck for the strike to get called when mine is halfway down the production line.

It normally spends one to two shifts max on the line. The issue will be if it’s missing something and moved off the line. Mine took nearly a month from blend to built. Modules and tear tag within the first 24 hours. Then it sat for “some” reason for nearly a month. Some have sat way more than that. Some go through like Ex-lax.

incoming...

Lower the better.

As @Lowcountry Bronco said, it has very little impact these days.

If you dealer was awarded one allocation for that scheduling period and had two identical orders in the order bank—one with priority code 11, and the other with priority code 12—then the order with priority code 11 will get selected first. But priority codes only matter within that specific dealer, and the reality of the situation is the commodity constraints have a MUCH bigger impact on determining whether you get scheduled or not.

My order was priority code 17 at my dealer, but I got selected for scheduling ahead ~60 other orders at my dealer that had a lower priority code because I avoided the Sasquatch package and Lux package. Likewise... there were dozens of orders with a priority code 19 that got select before mine because they ordered a soft top, while I ordered a hard top.

That’s a shame it really doesn’t matter. My dealer gave me a 3. Guess we wait regardless

Any idea when the 2 door

I haven't been following the UAW strike much but last I heard is that Ford is giving 25% raise is this correct? or are they still planning on going on a strike?
