I've been blended since 9/13 and stuck in production purgatory. I wonder if they are allocating parts to the point of getting full truck loads completed. I'll be interested to see if you and I flip to shipped at same time.
I waited until March 16, 2021, on the conversion of my Sep 2020 reservation to a full order. It was cutting it close, but by then, Ford had already leaked that my reservation timestamp likely missed the MY21 cut-off. I also waited mainly because the dealers and Ford were still dribbling new data...
A good friend has had a Tesla Model 3 and a Mach E. He sold the Model 3 when his Lightning ticket got punched. He's in love with it. However, he's got a 9-mile commute and a fleet of other old muscle to soothe the gear head. I think this full-on push to full EV is missing the mark. Trucks...
Simple. The Bronco was not built for that trail, it was also not built to haul plywood. This would be like taking a lifted wrangler on 40's to Tail of the Dragon. The right vehicle for the purpose it was built.
The Bronco has always been touted as the other end of the off-road spectrum. Rock...
Conveniently boosting the total Q3 Bronco production numbers on the last day of the month….
I’m glad Ford is doing the best given the obscure nature of the supply chain. We will know in the next 14 days whether the chips arrived or whether we just got a virtual bump to built for an plant...
Holy crap. I just switched to “Built”
I’m not getting excited. It’s all Just a bit too coincidental that a bunch of in production got moved to “built” on the exact last date of the month. Call Me skeptical, but not buying it.
I noticed a new message on the tracker this morning. Basically there is a message that my Bronco delivery is going to go in to Q4 and possibly in to 2023 delivery. I wonder if this assures that the VIN’s that have been assigned get used on 2022 production. I guess this is the new Dirt Mountain...
These may just be the wheels! Need to decide on color.
How close is the color of the Charcoal to the Badlands Grill color? Anyone have a shot of both with the same camera/Lighting?
Dude, that sucks! I made a list of dealer accessories I’m willing to negotiate on the over MSRP debate if it comes up. Don’t sell your deal short. If they insist on $2k ADM say sure, I’ll take that as Door bags, floor mats, rear cargo liner, and running boards through the parts counter. Just...
Thank you for sharing your story here. I looked ahead a build week and see a few moving to built and shipped that are similar builds to prior weeks in production purgatory. I don't understand what sort of filtering and prioritization with some Lux Wildtracks zip on through to shipment and OBX...
The step sliders look fantastic!!!
Not sure whether to critique filming in portrait or not airing down. Thanks for not doing a music over and leaving the sound on. Hearing that sweet ping of steel on stone was priceless
Ship emails are not always happening and sometimes go to spam. Chat isn't anything magic, this is all database access now. Check the OrderTrack App that one of the best B6G members made and check your status. Donate him a beer since your will tap his server several hundred times in the next two...
Lurking in a build week after mine and seeing built emails for pretty close to my build is even more frustrating. Just as people from August blends have probably already pulled all their hair out. As a bronco enthusiast, we are all in this together, but just a bit of honesty and transparency...
Day 14. I originally thought Leaf Peeper mountain would be fitting for the current supply holds on the MAP plant and describe the current dirt mountain/ice mountain state of affairs. Then it dawned on me that a good chunk of the US may not know what that means. Since leaf peepers may not be...
Are you sure it's been released from production status? There have been many cases of not getting shipped emails, but not many instances where it didn't change from production to built status. Just a thought.
Trying to stay positive, but looking back through a few build weeks, it's hard to...
As if this could even get more twisted. Ford is now stuck with a badge supplier constraint. I’d hate to be the procurement guy sent out to pasture because of the company emblems are not available and F-150’s are piling up.

You could use a power diode between the two circuits but it’s not exactly the greatest solution in flexibility. You are going to tie up the two switches anyway. Just put two lights on one circuit and the other four lights on the other. This let’s your run, 2,4, or 6 lights. More flexible less...
Day 11..... Still in production.
Badlands, 4 Door, Soft Top, A51, Lux, Tow, Shipping Convoy to Maryland.
Modules on, tear tag number posted, then radio silence. Some builds in our week with tow have gone through to shipping. A high count of tow selections seems stuck. Also, the Convoy group...
