Who's a 7/19 build?

[CO-Bronco]

Well - Happy to report that it took all one day to go from Built email to Shipped email. While Ford gives Sept 26 as the inside date for delivery I am being optimistic and hopeful for the end of next week. Here’s hoping everyone else starts to see these emails very soon.

Epic news mate! Congrats!

Yeah, not today.

Checked the pizza tracker this morning and it showed delivered. Reached out to dealer and they said it came in last night and sent me a picture. Hope to pick it up tonight or tomorrow. Trying to not get too excited until I’m driving her home.

Congrats. Curious: have you been told why your soft top was held up?

Well - It's been a slow day today with only ~6 more escaping.

With our list having 570 data points, and conservatively calling it 10% of what is actually at DM, this only equates to 1% within 24hrs.

It's going to be a long 3 months to release everyone at this rate....

Let's hope the theories of the Pizza Tracker not capturing all DM releases is true and the numbers are more like 2-300 per 24hrs.

Only time will tell.

No. At least it came with only 7 miles. Picked up the Bronco tonight and is safely tucked away in my garage for bed. Still a bit surreal.

first impressions. I drove mostly 70-75 mph on the parkway and turnpike and the soft top was not an issue at all. Not loud. No whistling. No flapping. Very happy and impressed. Truck drives very well too.
The screen is gigantic and I love it. Loved the auto high beams feature. Never had that. And as far as the radio. It was great. I got so worried about everyone complaining about it I thought for sure I would need to at least replace speakers. Nope. I have only the high package and this radio is nice and loud. Sounded great to me.

I’ll reserve my impressions on the 2.3 manual when I’ve played around a bit more. I will say this engine definitely has enough power.

I bought the vinyl floor mats and they are not flimsy. Fits perfectly

I also got the rear cargo enclosure. Will install that tomorrow.

Mine has shipped and ETA is 10/5
I hope more of you get off the mountain so we can all start sharing pics of our builds.

To my fellow 7/19 folks. This is my last post on the forum. Went to my dealer today (unannounced since they would not call me back) to finalize the buy and was told the dealer is now looking at adding an ADM. They are thinking in the 5K range but would not commit to even that - want to see what the market price is when it actually arrives - that was too ominous for me. Basically they just took the purchase price into the mid-50s when dealing with the additional taxes that come with it so I have been priced out. Dealer assured me earlier that would honor MSRP - but I messed up when I did not close the loop and get it in writing so I have my self to blame somewhat. While I was looking forward to the Bronco - this really was the last straw in what has been a total cluster of a new vehicle release. What started out as an exciting adventure has had the positive life sucked right out of it. I have never bought a Ford before this and will not look at Fords again. I will direct my dollars elsewhere.

Thanks to you all for your advice, humor and banter. I wish you all the best of luck with your Broncos.

So close, sad end to this saga....

Out the dealer, call or email or Tweet Mike Levine, go to the local news station, do something. Are you gonna try and get YOUR Bronco or are you giving up that easily? Don’t let them win without at least a fight.

sounds like some basic builds are getting scheduled quick, you could probably find another dealer that isn't a shark schedule a 4r, soft BB and get it before end of year.

The trouble is, and he acknowledges it, that he didn't get anything in writing. He has no pull over the dealer and merely relies on the dealer's kindness. Yeah, threatening to rip them publicly MIGHT mean something....but don't count on it. Finding a compromise would be best....
