🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

[Chick]

My status still shows, In Production. Blend date 1/4. Dealer said estimated shipment from MAP Jan 31. Seems like a long time for my WildTrak to be held. Tow, Lux, MIC, Leather, HD Bumper. No graphics or PPF. Hope they ensure all my seats match! <grin>

A while ago my dealer told me that adding the tow package would delay it quite a bit.

My dealer told me the same thing.
Did all he could to get me to change my order to known good available options, and drop items like Tow Package and MIC top. I said nope.. I want it the way I want it. He set my expectation of Summer 2022 and he is surprised I got built.

I am not overly competitive, but I do like the progress this thread is making.

Same. He told me he tried to convince his orders to remove tow, MIC and sasquatch if they could live without it. It's a small dealer (I was 12 of 12 orders at time of 21 order & 22 reorder)... but only soft top since noone would budge. First 22 pick.

Are you guys planning on keeping the blue accents? I LOVE them because I have a VB exterior but I can see it being conflicting with some of the other colors. The roast with EG looks great tho.

My Cyber Orange WildTrack has the blue accents. I will be StickerFab-ing everything i can to cover it up.

You know...I had like 8k of accessories added to mine. Roof rack, full rigid bar, rigid lights underneath, 3 tops, rail doors, the little keypad for the door, and some other misc stuff, and my dealer took it all off cause he said it would be produced much faster this way. I'm kind of not mad about it because I consider him a friend and he did what he thought was best to get me the truck quicker but I would have liked to have been told beforehand like you were, rather than after a few months when I checked in. It seems to have all worked out because I'm going to be working with a very reputable company that is going to use my Bronco to test out new accessories such as lights, lifts, suspension stuff and so on. If that wasn't the case though, I'd be pretty angry about not getting all the goodies I selected.

I'd rather wait a few more months and have it the way I want and dream of it rather than sacrifice parts to expedite it. My dealer lightly mentioned me switching to a 4 door and a soft top and once he saw my non-poker face reaction he didn't mention it again lol.

When you click the link in the email, does any information populate on the web page when it goes to it?

In chrome it would populate then I hit accept and track and then it refreshes to the same page but with no info prepopulated and just goes in a loop. I did get it to work in safari.

Ok Camper.... I've had a few ask more information about the shirt. They will be a tri-blend, black and heather gray. I've mocked them up for all to see. I'll put it on the spread sheet too.

Who's the hunk in the T-Shirt?!

Hahaha. yeah I totally agree! My vehicle is exactly how I would have wanted it. I did factor in budget as I didn't want to spend over 50k (out the door).. so I didnt add on Sasquatch which is probably the only change I would have made but mostly for the lift & tires and that's easy to add aftermarket eventually. The things I couldn't live without was the engine, color, interior, high package, side steps, signature lighting, etc. All of that fits my perfect Bronco for me, haha.

Just some random dude I found on the webs.

My original order did have a lot of accessories as well, which I removed upon his suggestion. That was good advise. What I didn't want to do is remove non accessories like the MIC and Tow Package. I could eventually go with aftermarket, but Ford is terrible about dealing with any changes to their vehicle and warranty. Traditionally I void warranties out of the box, but my wife has decided she will be the primary driver and will "allow" me to use it on road trips, so I wanted to keep is mostly stock for now.

Backdoor tracker updated over night to built status with estimated delivery window.

I dont get it...my 1/4 blend only shows the Scheduled for Production box checked. Maybe they are using the OCD Checklist on mine!
