Production Stuck Check-In - Mod top issue?

[Goose5226]

I would tend to agree, but I've seen two MT 4 DR Heritages pass through my area and their blend dates were 3/11 and 3/14 according to the window stickers.

If they went through production without any issus they will ship it. Currently in production vehicles will get parts and repairs before the vehicles in the lot will. Makes no sense but this group did some really hard digging in the beginning and found out alot of this information.

I had been in contact with a dealer a couple hours away who had someone back out their custom ordered MT 4 DR Heritage. Near identical build, but instead of the tri metallic gray it is Robin's Egg Blue. My wife is putting the kibosh on it due to the color. He emailed me this morning and said he had two available the MT and an automatic V6 in red.

I'm trying to convince her that Robin's Egg looks good, but might bite the bullet and try to take home the red one.

Out of curiosity where’s that dealer? The REB manual transition is my exact build, but mine has been in production limbo since 1/16z

As I wait for my manual, I’m constantly looking in my area for one with no luck. Dealers aren’t ordering MT and the custom orders MT are going home with the owners it seems. Searching for a HE while I wait just to keep myself occupied.

it could be anything, Most of ours in mid January and haven't had any movement until recently. Mine is Jan 18th and had no movement since. I think at this point they would try and get January production vehicles delivered first before they start putting parts on/fixing issues on new production broncos. Not factual, Just my thoughts.

Ford's JIT style logistics just about requires that new parts go into the deep pipeline before holdover cars are handled.
Early on, when cars lacked parts, they piled up on the lot. The early builds went to the back, fresh builds ended up in front. Get some spare parts and the fresh cars up front get pulled first. Which is how the stories of some people getting cars very quickly while original orders sat stuck for months.
Combined with suppliers bad QC its no surprise that ford is keeping t

That's Ford JIT logistics for you, fresh parts go into the deep production pipeline first, before any backlog is fulfilled. Which means that new cars come out while old orders sit at dirt mountain for months That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The Red one is an automatic the blue one is the MT. They are at town and country in Bessemer, AL. The other MT I was talking about was a special order at my local dealership that they accidently listed online prior to the buyer taking delivery.

My 2dr Heritage MT went into production 2/14 (2/13 blend date, Ford Marketing said released to carrier 2/27). I was just told my vehicle has "been added to the VIP Tracker for shipment." Any clue what that means?

And just like that, after I read your message last week about letting go.. last Thursday I check my tracker and get this! -- dealer texted me Wednesday telling me it's in transit. Can't wait to update you all when it arrives.

Thank you for everything @OverlandingPastor , appreciate you!

VIP is a priority placement that'll bump the usual "it goes when it goes" mentality of the process, or so some other forum mentioned a while back. Maybe not 100% sure in that, but it should move fast

It'll bump a regular production car in favor of yours to get it out faster, or so the story goes.

Weird double quoted double reply sorry

SIP since 3/5/24. Bronco Raptor. Tear tags on 3/7. Only one month in. Maybe it will be done by 2025.

I know it doesn't feel like it for everyone on the list, but there has been a lot of movement in the last few weeks. 18 of the 32 Bronco's we've been tracking since early January have moved to "Built" or have shipped. That's 56%. The Heritage seems to be lagging the most at this point as they represented 41% of what we were tracking and only 38% of those have shipped. One trend I've noticed is that several seem to clear every weekend when the production line is not moving. Hoping for some movement for the rest of you this weekend or first thing Monday.

Thank you for keeping the file updated! I hope your enjoying your bronco!

Agreed @OverlandingPastor thank you!

I am enjoying it so much. Can't believe it's mine. I've just about got it ready for Overlanding trip next week. Hope to get tent on tomorrow.

Thanks to Goose for the heads up, i find i have been upped to 'built' status (on my original build).

OP, i have to say, i thought the black HE looked a little bland to me when I configured it on the B and P, but every pic you post is absolutely gorgeous. That color scheme compliments the longer 4 door very nicely. Can't wait to hear the tales from your overlanding trip. Also want to thank you for this thread and for making and updating the table. You and Goose have helped me, and i am sure many others, maintain some semblance of sanity thru this experience; Very much appreciated.

Delayed my weekly whine by a day. I'm not locked into this order anymore, but the dealer should update me if they see a status change:

It's a 4dr manual black HE like OverlandingPastor shows getting set up for his trip. I'm conflicted on whether to buy it or not, I won't be doing much off-road after all.
Either way - nice to see some released trucks recently!
