[Update 7/30] Ready to roll: MAP readies for "full speed" Bronco production as questions loom

[Blksn955.o]

I have said before I am getting impatient and working in dialing back my responses based on the frustration of this roll out. I think I am done venting on the site...breath.

I want to be clear in that I am not pointing anything at the OP...not wanting to tag him in adding to his mess of notifications. I appreciate his input and sharing with us. Remember this guy already has his Bronco and is still contributing to the forum instead of out there enjoying his new toy.

Can't wait to join you in that enjoyment.

Hope they are! Mine was built 7/22 still just shows “in production”. Hoping it’ll ship soon

Mine is the same date and still in production as well.

I honestly don't think any of the numbers, blend dates, order dates, reservations dates, in production dates mean anything and trying to predict delivery on any of that information is only going to lead to frustration.

I am 07/02 production. Nothing.

I have convinced myself to forget that there is a new bronco until I get a call saying its been delivered.

Just got a news update email from Ford. Talks start of production, OTA updates, and Off Roadeo.

At this point, I don’t believe a damn word Ford says. My Bronco doesn’t exist until it’s in my driveway

Reservation dates still better fucking mean something!

@PREMiERdrum
Is it possible that built units currently held in the holding yards will be released after September, October, etc. due to the good parts going to new builds?

I really wonder what the absolute latest our built units could arrive so I can plan accordingly.

LOTS of questions here, I'm sorry that I can't get to all of them.

Some notes:

- The 550 per shift total production target doesn't mean they'll be producing that many every available day from now thru December. We aren't going to see 65,000(or 55,000, or even 45,000) MY21 Broncos... and if we did there would be a HUGE number of soft top stock units heading out. There could be as many as 3 more weeks of downtime scheduled before the end of the MY21 run, along with balance adjustments and slowdowns to deal with commodity issues.

- MAP has been clearing the traced units backlog this week so I have to believe some of you will be seeing your trucks soon. I wouldn't expect the tracker to update in this situation but your dealer will get a pre-delivery notice.

- Looks like we're getting closer to a resolution on the MIC roof issues. That's all I can say.

Finally, my son (who is 9!) and I popped the clamshell off for the first time today. Super easy process. Then we went out and had some fun.

Thanks for the update my guy! I'm crossing my fingers for 2dr soft tops, even for WT.

Update 7/30:
.

I know you don't t work for Ford directly, but I'll vent none the less.

Can you have your sources run it up the chain that any and all updates for the MIC issue need to be handled as a two part communication.

Any updates tend to effect 2dr and 4dr holders very differently, primarily due to the fact that 2dr holders currently have zero other options.
It is assumed Ford will handle a 2dr order differently than a 4dr AT THIS POINT.
Thanks,

Reservation dates still better fucking mean something!

That would be the right way, but, come on... you know better. It means less than it should.

No direct connection to MAP, just a well-sourced guy.

What a time to be alive, right?

As many owners anxiously await word on their "traced" units produced a month (or more) ago,

Two per day with Saturdays coming online earlier than expected.



I was told to expect normal scheduling to begin next week, but that was 2 weeks ago and the situation still seems fluid.

While there have been a few one-off issues with delivered units, no other major concerns have presented themselves. The MIC roof appears to be the solo major concern, forcing the reality of production scheduling even further out of line with ordered units. This will inevitably lead to the production of lower trim, soft top, 4 door units in the coming months, as dealers with promised allocation but no buildable units will need to have a deliverable product.

Hey premier guy?
Do you work for Ford or something?

I have a question maybe you can answer because my dealer seems to say something different of course!

Do you know how we got the emails way back from Ford saying because of Covid delays that are 21 prices would be locked in and then they updated it again for after March 19 and the second email and it says “All” orders or reservations. so is that what it means or not?

Clarification would be greatly appreciated. because I have no idea how much the MSRP will go up for 2022 even though I ordered a 2021

I have a 2 door Base Squatch with the MIC Hard top
Thanks Rick.
What’s your name?
