Not only will she have a hard time finding one to test drive at a dealer (There is not one within 500 miles of me) , ordering a 25 with a MT will also be a challenge. Early MT orders that got scheduled to be built last week were all pushed back to late April build dates (and hopefully not...
If you order one you will most likely be waiting. There are many of us on here that have early orders in for 25 MT’s. We got VIN’s and build dates for this upcoming week, and then they all got pushed out for two months for an end of April build week. Ford has not given the dealers any reason why...
They just started production last week (2.3's this week). A quick search on Ford search tool shows many "In Transit" so I would expect that there are some hitting dealer lots near Michigan now, and may reach far and wide in a couple weeks.
Tim,
This was the issue we thought may have been related to the HOSS 2.0 shock recall, but now it is clearly a MT issue. Any way your Ford rep could provide any info? Kind of odd as the MT is not showing anywhere as a commodity constraint.
2D, BL Non SAS, Lux Hi, 2.3/7MT
Looks like the 7MT may be they culprit. Odd that the latest scheduling update posted for this week shows NO commodity constraints for Bronco
Yes, appears to be quite a few of us with Feb 24 build week get pushed back two months. But the fact that your build s non BL/SAS blows away my theory of it being associated with the HOSS2.0 recall.
I am assuming they realize there will be a commodity shortage on the HOSS 2.0 shocks needed for BL - SAS due to the recall. Bilstein probably wont be able to deliver enough to fill production needs as well as recall demands. Just my guess. I bet anyone with SAS and HOSS 3.0 will get built first.
Well I just checked my order status. I was originally scheduled for week of 2/23, and it just got bumped two months to week of 4/28 for whatever that is worth
Probably, If you can find a dealer to post. Your best bet to keep up to date on scheduling is to follow Long McArthur Ford YouTube channel. Here is their latest scheduling update video for this week:
I just ordered one of these for my 23 Super Duty last night!. Plug is very obscured due to to grill guard & winch. I found this mounting plate on Etsy and was worth it for the time I would have into fabricating one...

The kit includes everything. They must have done it ala-cart and robbed you in the process
My theory on the front modular bumper or raptor running boards is they attempt to meet a minimum payload number from the factory. They are both heavy options so if you added both of them the payload would dip below a threshold they don’t want to go below. Once again my theory only.
