Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to be an optimist. Here's a few quick notes.
Scheduling - As of 2 p.m. CST we've had 8 Broncos schedule today.
7 are badlands either high or lux package.
4 yes 4 have sasquatch!
All are soft tops. I know it's not ideal, but if you can swing a soft top I'd...
Here's a quick summary of everything that is being built so far in our region. The only thing I would note of importance that may skew the numbers is the Big bend 221A Four doors with Soft tops. Most of these units are most likely mannequin units that were produced by Ford. It is hard to say...
Greetings everyone!
With the passing of Albert, I have tried to fill some of the void left in regards to providing information to the forum members here. While I will still be involved and a resource to you guys, with my other responsibilities I cannot devote enough time and energy to it. That...

The Schmitz Family wanted me to pass this along:
From the Family of Albert Schmitz –
We would like to express our sincere appreciation from all of you who sent condolences, special messages how Albert has impacted your experience, your amazing tribute of stickers, shirts, sweatshirts, the...
I apologize in advance to Sean for the emails he'll receive. But here is this morning's update.
As I previously posted, we have received 9 of our 40+ First Editions up until this point. In fact, we delivered our First Bronco and first FE yesterday!
For those of you with a First Edition...
We'll get more pictures up on our website, but we received our first shipment of Broncos. I've put 30 miles on the Mannequin unit.
The 2.7 is way more power than you need. Power everywhere!
The interior impressed me greatly.
I'm 6'6 and I have plenty of room.
Rides quieter and smoother than...
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the passing of Albert Schmitz (Granger Ford). Albert was instrumental in getting us involved with this forum, a 25+ year employee, father, husband and friend.
Albert professed to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. While broncos are...
We recently received communication for our Bronco allocation for the month of September. This could be helpful for you regardless of where you purchased your Bronco to get an idea on production flow.
To Recap
26 - Initial Allocation (+2 Mannequin Units)
43 - Second Allocation
5 - August...
This month is the first time in 3 months that we've had a normal dealer wholesale.
Wholesale - is the process which Ford alloces new vehicle production to dealers for retail and stock orders. For the last 2 months we have not been able to order any vehicles for stock inventory.
This is a...
We are long overdue for an update, but better late than never right?
06/25/21 Email
I'm sure most of you have received the email, but if you haven't here is a link to the active thread on Bronco6G from the email yesterday. Obviously some disappointing news for those wanting a painted hard top...
The much anticipated scheduling has begun and we've learned a few things. Here's a few notes I wanted to pass along.
1 - First Edition doesn't mean First Production. Don't get me wrong, the First Edition will still be prioritized above other orders, but the first 7,000 units to roll off the...
For those who haven't seen, Ford is planning on running their scheduling cadence as follows:
1st Week of Scheduling - First Edition Scheduling
2nd Week of Scheduling - Non First Edition Scheduling
Remaining Weeks - Clean up of Non FE Scheduling (schedules those that didn't get a schedule date...
Which one do you want first?
The Bad News - First Edition doesn't necessarily mean you'll get your Bronco produced first. This has been discussed before, but I'll reiterate this. The first 7,000 reservation holders for the Bronco are not all First Editions. Other trims were reserved. Also, the...
Looks like the first round of orders are starting today! The process to schedule and get VINs will take up to two weeks.
If you are one of our reservation holders, we'll start making calls/sending emails as soon as tomorrow.
I am not sure if you guys/gals heard, but Ford is not going to do a painted hard top anymore for 2021 Model year (BREAKING NEWS!!!!!)
Hardtop/Headliner - So we've had quite a few calls/emails about it and we're doing our best to respond. We have quite a few orders to work through and will be...
While not a perfect predictor, I have some insight on when the first Retail Broncos might get shipped.
We have two Mannequin Broncos that 'Should' get produced before retail orders. One is estimated to be built in the week of 5/17/21 and another in the week of 5/31/21. A safe guess is that...
We will be accepting new reservation holders starting 03/20/21 for $2000 off invoice. We will continue this special for the forseeable future until the reservation process has been closed and retail demand has been fulfilled. Just like our special in October, this applies to all trims on the...
Just a quick public service announcment. If your reservation is before September 18th. We've attempted to call/email you. If you have not heard from us please reach out and we'd like to get your order placed before Friday. This is a small percentage of our customers, but there are some we...
We have been asked multiple times if we are accepting transfers of reservations. Yes, we are still accepting transfers! I think it is important to figure out which Ford dealership that you are reserved with first before making that decision. I also think it is important to note that this is the...
