YES! It’s about time! Keep us posted!

It made it!!!
The dealer was all talking about "getting it ready today is a bit of a stretch." Then text just couple of hours later, "it's ready." I barely had enough time to get the check from Navy Federal!
Now I'm just waiting on a couple of additions: soft top struts, roll bar covers, rear tub side covers, and front mud flaps.

Now I'm excited to see if I can catch a picture of this with the eclipse totality behind it. So ready for the upcoming adventures!

The trip has been a success! The Bronco has been really great fun. Very excited to add to it and get it out on some trails soon. An absolute miracle happened to get this to us in time for this trip. From ordering on Dec 23rd and then it only taking 19 days from the build date to delivery!!!
My thanks go out to Bickford Motors in Snohomish, WA and to @Ford Motor Company.
Thank you for making this once in a lifetime opportunity into a reality for us!
Also, thanks to this thread for rooting for us! I'm glad this is a happy ending to this story!

I have a Big Bend that I ordered in November. In March I was told that it was scheduled for the week of 3/4 and that it was in production as of 3/8/24

I even had the dealer reach out to me to let me know it would be coming soon. Then everything stopped. I have sent at least 10 or 15 texts to the salesman at my dealer and the furthest that he got was that it was pulled for a quality control designation? I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I ordered it with a Manual Transmission? But the ford system let me order it with a manual and I was able to print out the window sticker and that has it as a manual. Has anyone else run into this type of a delay with a manual transmission? It has been in production/quality control for 3 months now. Very strange to me

Thank you!

Looks like we are in the same boat. MT in production on 3/8, put on QA hold 3/16. Since then I haven’t been able to get any info. Even taking back Ford CS ever told me about the QA hold. Stopped into dealership yesterday; confirmed it was put on a hold 3/16, released 5/23 to mod center. No other info but assuming it is the MT as our timeline is the same

The wife loves the mint graffiti on the side. One her favorite colors. Made it much easier to spot when it was sitting next to Boeing field just South of Seattle. She's very happy she got to see the rail car too.

But did it know The Commodores?
