HERITAGE EDITION Bronco Club

[7sKnuckledragger]

Same here, mods popped, tear tag, and the 45 day email.

Mine shipped a couple days after I got the 45 day email?

Once again @Ford Motor Company is fucking over faithful reservation/order holders.

Started at build week 4/24... pushed back to 8/14 from 7/24 on Tuesday. Pushed back to 9/11 today.

I hate this process. They are going to push us past MY23 and lose $6300+ in PO/PP. I’m not sure it will even be worth it in the end.

Yes, agree in all the aggravations today seeing the scheduling ahead of us that have been in the long haul. Seen it for 2 years now. If we had not been pushed back for 2 years we would not have had the chance to get the Heritage at all so I still consider it lucky? But at least we have a vin now so remember this.....
Holding a vin for 23' means you will get a 23' even if you get it in December. Think of those that got 21's in the spring 22' . I don't remember how long production ran on the 21's but it was late in the year. If you plan to flip it then yes I would be mad. We don't plan to sell it and it being a 23 is all I asked for.
I hope everyone gets what they wanted in the end even if it's not when they wanted it.

Don't think so, only 4 doors have power seat with leather

Thanks. I just found another thread about converting them. Hadn’t thought about it until I read it, but since there’s no rear door, the seats need to have the manual’s folding mechanism for passenger egress.

Pretty sure that just ruined a deal on my wife getting a Yellowstone HEL.

Weird generation??? My guess is you are like me... grew up in the 70's when it was mandated that we were going to change to Metric... Then Industry pointed out to congress that it would take billions to change all of the equipment in all the industries... So congress backed off the change and mandated that all equipment be made dual unit. (all while we were being quizzed on both units in school) They intended to go back and change to Metric but it seems to have been forgotten. Even after that Billion dollar fiasco with the joint European/American mars lander that crashed and burned because of designers/engineers using different units between Europe and the US.... and still we have not switched to the better system.

Ahah nope, I was born in the early 90s, the school system here in Canada was just phasing out learning imperial so no one after my generation learned anything in imperial and just straight up metric.

Here's a good video on it.

Well it sounds like I have about 20 years on you... But Like you when I was in school it was very much learn imperial and then suddenly we switched to metric for several years... Unlike you we switched back to imperial. These days I am not convinced they actually teach measuring units anymore....

Well guys…. THE BRONCO IS HOME! Oct. 2020 Reservation and 996 days later I am an owner of a 2023 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition! 2.3 manual to go along side my 94’ F150 5 speed in the driveway. I could write a book on this journey

I certainly wouldn't say lucky - we're all here because they teased us with the original debut version with white top, grill, and interior. When it wasn't available, we kept hearing the tidbits of info that white tops were coming, then finally the news about HE, so we chose to wait it out not wanting to settle.

I am in the exact same boat as ColoradoBroncoFan except now 9/4 instead of 9/11. I'm a 7/14/20 reservation. Mine is 2 dr, 2.7, cactus. It's like just when you get close and keep watching the tracker, the rug gets pulled out yet again. Would have been nice to have it for part of the summer.

I refuse to believe they won't extend the PP but we'll see. Given the amount I feel beaten down by Ford, the only thing i'd feel lucky about the wait is if we can get 11 inch screens at some point but i'm sure that's very doubtful.

It's definitely nice to see people are getting theirs though, yet its one more tease because it's getting closer for us.

Hey, good for you! Looks great. You'll have a couple more months of summertime for some top and doors off driving. Been a long journey for you.

Congratulations! How did the PO/PP go for you? Did they apply your PO Certificate? Will they send you a PP check later? Thanks.

For all of you getting the email from Ford and you are already built, personally I would ignore it. People received these earlier in the year and already had their Bronco delivered.

 

[BigBendBW]

I ordered on 3/30 and this morming I received a scheduled production date for September 4th.

4 door race red 2.7 with tow, aux, sig lights, and slide out tailgate.

I'm obviously excited but I'm sorry for those of you who've waited much longer than me.

Other than the slide out that’s my exact build I placed on 3/27. Congrats.

...

I couldn't care less about the white bits, I just didn't want the MIC top because it was obviously terrible from the start. Since Ford refused to offer the 2Dr with a soft top from the factory, that meant waiting for the Mod top.
My original order was for a CO badlands with the black Mod top. I'm getting the HE because it's the only way to get a Mod top in MY23, despite the promise from Ford in 2021 that the black mod top would be available.

I was just the opposite, I wanted the mod top so I could paint it white (when it was originally available only in black). Once people started painting their MIC tops I thought about un-99'ing my order but then all the delamination and snakeskin problems were reported so I really didn't want that drama. Really hoping there's no issues with the mod tops, Ford's only had 3 extra years of development time on these so we'll see!

Ok team, going on my rant so hang on! Lol. If metric was better, we’d be buying Toyotas. There’s absolutely no reason why there should be a soccer field in America with little kids running around on it. They should be on a baseball diamond! ‘Merica!!!!
