Bronco Build Week 4/08/2024

[LukeBoxHero]

Ok! Great news. 4/25 is next week baby. Even early the following week is pretty damn close. Time to start loading up on accessories and doo-dads to make it yours!

It’s funny earlier today I pulled the trigger on a few items I plan on using with the Bronco but that can be used at other times and other ways. Maybe I knew. But there are quite a few other things that I have been holding off on until I know for sure it’s on the way. Can’t wait!

A week of being built with no changes and today it not only check the shipped box but also now showing final prep. We got our built email 3 days after the tracker showed built. The wheels turn slow in the communications dept….but they do turn.

You should call your dealer! Final prep means it’s delivered to the dealer and they are doing the “final prep”.

Any update?
You can always contact Ford Chat and/or Customer Service to try to get more info if you haven't already.
Good luck

All they know is it's on a QA hold. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious.

Just sent the dealer a text. Our sales person is actually my brother in-laws godson and just got notice my mother in-laws lease is coming to an end so it’ll be few trips over there. We’re out and about today and already have plans to swing by there to check on it today only 5 miles from the house so not a big trip. Think there’s quite a few that use to work in our plant that work at that dealer now or least relatives from our shop employees. Hoping I can spot it we have a couple dealer install options so might be in a bay.

You can be the first from this thread to post a picture of their new Bronco! I know I would like to see everyone's new rides!

Hoping to be in this by summer!

Okay.... I've had similar issues. My build date was originally 04/08 (so they've already provided a VIN) and each week it gets pushed back. Most recent notification was a build date of 04/29. Is anybody else experiencing this constant push to the next week? I am receiving update emails each week, which is nice. I don't mind the delays. It has allowed me the opportunity to list my 1971 K5 Blazer on Bring A Trailer so we can use those funds toward adoption.

To all the 04/08/2024er’s out there, we are T minus two weeks and counting. I have not heard anything since my build week confirmation on 03/08/2024. I thought I would add a little humor to the conversation. I have completed my Pre-build week checklist and now I am anxiously waiting for the big day. Here is a list of what I have completed.

• I have obsessively searched every conceivable website on the internet looking for toys to put on my new Bronco.
• I have obsessively searched this Forum looking for ideas of what to do and not to do.
• I have checked the Tracking Website several times a day (even Saturday’s and Sunday’s) knowing that probably nothing is going to change. To the point where I actually thought I saw it change one time, but it was an illusion (or wishful thinking).
• I have checked the Tracking Website obsessively on Tuesday’s (supposedly the Ford update day) to the point where I get nothing done due to thinking about it.
• I have been stalking the Build week Forums before us to see if there is any movement on their schedule in hopes it has moved up.
• I have obsessively anguished if I made the right decisions on my build options.
• I have organized the things I took out of my F150 (which I traded in already) and decided what is going in the Bronco and what is not.
• My Jeep TJ is going up for sale as soon as I get the Bronco, so I have that ad and pictures all ready to go.
• My financing is in order.
• And now we wait………………….

So, did I miss anything? Feel free to add on. I sold my 1972 Bronco back in 1986, (my butt is still sore from me kicking it for selling it) and have missed it ever since. When I first heard Ford was bringing it back, I was hooked. I am pretty sure I have OCBD (Obsessive Compulsive Bronco Disorder). Hopefully it will get better when I get mine. All that said let’s kick this Forum in gear. If anyone is hearing anything, please post for the rest of us. Maybe it will help pass the time. CAN WE GET THESE THINGS BUILT ALREADY……………..

What pre-build checklist are you referring to?

I'm stuck in "Production" My window sticker says it was built on the 12th. But no movement since. My Ford app said, This car is not compatible with the Ford app. But now it wants to set the car up. So my guess is it is done, but waiting for a part or two???? Probably going to reach out to my sales person soon.

I have found that the Ford Chat is more informative than the dealer/salesperson. The chat seems to have more information available.

The Heritage is a bit unique and some delay/rescheduling is not uncommon. You might jump on one of the Heritage specific threads, there are a few. They’ll be able to help with more Heritage specific experiences.

And yes, Ford chat can be helpful sometimes. But if you haven’t, check in with your Heritage brethren; they’ll be a better resource.

The way you tell if it’s built will be checking your modules. Use this link and see if your modules are on-line:

https://www.motorcraftservice.com/A...x-fTjcbmQuY2-glrvQbWCxDJ9AvRRP98nUv2cZ19kEfoc

If you have a long list those are your modules. At the top if you see your tear tag ID then final calibration/programming is complete and your rig is built.

Tracker is. notoriously irregular once you’re in production.

You can’t actually add it to your Ford pass app without having access to the vehicle. If you happen to send the request when it’s “on” you still can’t complete the connection without accepting the request from within the vehicle. So don’t fret, that’s not an indicator of any problems.

Just the list that I have compiled. Nothing formal. Just me passing the time.

So my sales person is absolutely no help whatsoever. He basically told me the same info as the tracker with no other insight. Ford Chat seemed a little more informative but still didn’t have a shipping date or if it was in “production” or “produced”. It’s frustrating to be in the no man’s land but it will be worth it in the end

I'm stuck in production too. From the looks of mine it too is built but is probably waiting for some finishing touches. Most likely the my roof rack, brush guard, tube step are what's needing to be done but I'm just speculating. Do you have anything like that on yours? Not sure why those things would hold it up but it's what I'm guessing as my sales person was useless. I am waiting on word from his manager maybe he can find out something.
