From my perspective, he is one of the best. His review of other Ford trucks is beneficial as well. I use his videos to help me learn more about Ranger, Ranger Raptor, etc.
This video is a great point in time and your analysis is excellent! Since Broncos are being built this week, it would be valuable to know if any are being added to this lot. It appeared there was space available to accommodate more Broncos.
If a new video was taken next week, would you be able...
Slowing the production of Broncos on the MAP assembly line may be the implementation of a solution.
We know Broncos are being built this week. If they are not added to the holding lot(s), then Ford may have found a solution. If the solution is limited in supply, then slowing or stopping...
When I looked at that video, I was searching for a proliferation of soft top Broncos. I did not see them. For me, that was a good sign for the issue holding these Broncos may be limited in scope. I was also looking at the volume as a point in time. We know Broncos are being built this week and...
Here on Bronco6G we are aware of the Bronco production issues particularly as it applies to the hard top. I have been curious to know if the public has an awareness. This YouTuber (video is dated July 21, 2021) seems to have some understanding. This bit of knowledge I found interesting.
@PREMiERdrum
Ross, based on your current knowledge, are you able to say if MAP will stop building Broncos during any days in August? Also, are you able to tell us what the percent distribution of Ranger to Bronco may be during periods within August?
First off, it is good to have @PREMiERdrum back reporting on the Bronco rollout. Does Ross have all the answers? No, and that is OK. Can some of his insights change? Yes, and once again, that is OK.
For many potential owners like myself, we are new to potential Bronco ownership. I want to...
Maybe one of the forum members who work at a Ford dealership will comment on the possibility to stocking in their parts department replacement windows for the soft top which are rigid and not wavy. I see an opportunity. ;)
@Zach@Granger @Cincykyle1020 @flip @Gloff
I understand how many owners may value the ability to fold the top all the way back. For that action the windows need to be flexible and perhaps will always appear wavy. However, I believe some owners would opt for rigid windows. You lose the flexibility but gain a different look. With all the...
Take a look at the Badlands Soft Top in the link below. Is it just me, or do the three windows in the soft top look incredibly good?! Hoping to visit this Badlands tomorrow to determine if this was just very skillful photo shop work.

I like the idea of a Bestop soft top. It is a known product.
My concern with the MIC top is a lack of information concerning the design/quality. Based on current knowledge many are assuming the problems are primarily related to the lack of quantity and some quality issues. I am more concern the...
Yes, details are what we need. Not gut reactions!
If drone images are date stamped and gathered on a reoccurring periodic basis we can determine if a rotation is occurring. If the total volume is moving up or down. We might also obtain indications if the holds are for bad roof (words on glass)...
I am surprised we do not have a member who could obtain drone images for a more accurate count. It does raise the question if these are simply coming off the assembly line and getting ready to be shipped out. Someone must know if shipping is done from this lot! If not, where is shipping done...
By now, many of us understand the Ford communication strategy and I do not expect it will change.
The big unknown is the production volume for the remaining months in 2021. As you already know, the Bronco production lost 2 weeks in July. August may have a similar production constraint. We just...
As the rest of August rolls by, I would not expect any updates from Ford. That is nothing new, we understand their communication strategy. September may be different since Ford may decide to begin the process of encouraging the potential owners with MY21 orders to convert to MY22 orders. If the...
I find this communication from Mike Levine to be extraordinary. Not in a good way. Feels like he is dangling a shiny object to distract from events surrounding the rollout. If he is planning to release new Bronco functionality during the MY22 ordering process, it would be wise to ask yourself if...
@PREMiERdrum I hope the MAP line workers will not pay the price for slow delivery of MIC tops. Do you see any indication that MAP will simply increase the number of Rangers being built? We know the Ford Ranger has been selling like hotcakes and would seem to help both the line worker and the...
