If you just got your VIN, your worst case is 5/2 since that was the last week of this scheduling cycle. But don't worry, it'll move a few times. You'll get an email and show up on the tracker about a month before your build.
Spend some time reading through the build week threads (or see ocbucks1 thread which links to build week spreadsheets). Find someone near you who got their VIN in a fairly short time frame. Ask if they'll share their dealer info (if you can't guess it from their info).
This is normal. As others have said, ask your dealer to email you a copy of your order from Ford's system. You want it as it has info you'll need for tracking your build status when you get to that point.
Isn't the engine type code into the VIN? So if Ford changes the engine, your VIN will change too. Not sure that'll happen.
Edit: just confirmed. The eighth character in your VIN is engine type. H is 2.3, P is 2.7.
About a month before your build week you'll get an email and the trackers will kick in for you. If your build week keeps moving and you don't reach the point where you're a month away, you'll stay in the limbo stage you're in. BTW - I'm there too so you're not alone.
People with January build...
I dropped PPF and got a VIN during the next scheduling, so the idea that changes send you to the back-of-the-line doesn't make sense. If you keep your constraints you'll continue to get passed over until they can cover your whole build.
Look for the post that shows demand versus % available for...
English is not that precise. If a university invited "all students and graduates" to an event, does that mean only students who graduated can attend? So active students can't attend. Neither can someone who was awarded an honorary degree.
Agree, you can read it either way. Anyone who didn't...
Did Ford come out and say you had to order before 3/19/2021? The March 25th email stated:
"Offering price protection to all current Bronco order and reservation holders (as of March 19, 2021). This will ensure you will not see an increase in the MSRP if you receive an equivalent 2022 model year...
They've already filled most of April with all the build week shuffling. Deliveries are pushed out into May. Doesn't make much sense even if it was a typical scheduling week.
I'd assume most of them offer basic Ford service. If you are planning any mods, you may want to call the other eight and see if they'd entertain installing the mods you're interested in. That may be too your advantage. I've seen a few dealers that do this.
If no plans for mods, call around to...
Hi from Dallas and welcome! When it warms up a bit, you should definitely make the trip down to Austin and do an Off Roadeo. They'll show you all the cool features of the Bronco with you in the driver's seat. Fun and exciting day.
It's good to have a dealer you know. There are a few steps in...
Read through the build week threads. It's happening to almost everyone (+3 months on the edd) due to chips. Plus future build weeks in Feb and Mar got pushed back two weeks. So April is half full (presumably due to Plant shutdown).
