You appear to be right. Some sort of Salt Brine on 80 and 50, from what I found only in two counties, so I'd imagine near the summits.

Seems like a really low amount though, I've never seen it have any impact of rust in all my wheels snow wheeling.
Yeah, I’m not too worried about it either

You’re probably you are not exposed to it for months at a time. Massachusetts is very proactive with brining the roads, they put it down at any hint of precipitation in the winter. Roads are often wet with melting snow which mixes with the brine and your undercarriage is always wet with it. My wife’s 2017 Jeep undercarriage looks like it was sitting at the bottom of the ocean for a year, my 2013 isn’t driven in winter and is looking mint. An off roaded rig is worse from getting dragged through the rock gardens and scraping off what little paint protection is there. I’d rather park it for 4-5 then expose it to that

My 12 raptor was rust free from living near El Dorado hills, one winter in Wisconsin and it started rusting.....
You’re right El dorado hills is rust free, but I spend a lot of time at my place in Tahoe too, but not really worried about it. They use salt sparingly due to impact on plants.

Lived in Beloit as a kid, everything rusted….

Rumor is any unscheduled 2022 will roll to a 2023 as of today. (According to a dealer email).

Any truth to this?
Rumor … dealer - Ford actually doing something when they said they were intending to - who the heck knows …

Considering there is another rumor that order guide just got delayed to 9/19 - I'd say there's still time for 22s

Order tracker app doesn't show it yet, but the Ford tracker site shows mine as Built 9/1 as of this morning. No email yet, and was in production status yesterday.

OH, VIN around 1200

Got the email from Ford early this morning. Status moved from “In Production“ to ”Built”. Estimated arrival at dealer between 9/3 and 9/9.
NJ. VIN under 75.
Congrats! What was your blend date?

So I guess I’ll be obsessively refreshing the tracker today …

Hello all.
Good news bad news for me. Looks like built and ford chat saying to dealer 9/15-9/20.
On the back door I show a markup (15k) that was never talked about and asked dealer and their reply was “no mark up on broncos but this is special vehicle and there will be a mark up and once we know what the market will support we will let you know”. I’m only BRAPTOR they are getting. Needless to say I’m very upset and am now talking to the GM. I have every email from 2020 and has always been msrp and not one mention of markup. Even my build sheet price was initialed and circled by me. They even offered me an R and I said no because of the markup. Will be curious how this plays out. Any tips or ideas would be great.
