I'm a 4D Soft, and it's supposed to be born tomorrow

A lifetime of learning has taught me sales guys will say anything to get their hands in your wallet. A guy at Modatek (big green building in Milton nest to the 401 who builds the frames for the Bronco), said Ford has enough orders to fill through MY 2022. Having said that, with production...

Considering the pic was taken at the beginning of the week, I would say planned.

That on the modular or the one regular on I'm getting on the OBX?

Again, that shows GM level of stupidity when it comes to Marketing and Manufacturing. Production wise, it could never work that way and have an efficient launch. But they haven't had an efficient launch, so maybe they should have..... I also fought the website the first day, and went into the...

That is a solid point, although paint / trim options often change every MY, so it would not be the first time someone wanted something, and couldn't get it because the model changed. I picked A51 because I thought it would be only a 1st year option. If my order got bumped, I wouldn't be too...

So wait, they are building this week? I thought I read production was cancelled this week? Or have they stopped scheduling orders as of this week?

Jeep puts out a specific colour for one MY, then pulls it the next year. I hope Ford does the same, and was hoping it would be Area 51, since at the time, the Bronco line-up was the only one with that option. Then I saw the Maverick has it, so maybe not. I'm guessing Anti-Matter blue might be...

I said this when I order mine; "God I hope they don't screw up the launch, this thing has the potential to be hugely successful". But sure enough, Ford has screwed this up. If I was in need of a new truck and was a loyal F-150 guy, and couldn't get exactly what I wanted, I would be more...

7 days is what has been stated, although I had mine 14 days before the blend date (but there was a down week at MAP in that time)

It did mean something, or at least it would have on a successful launch. As I said, the reservation got you a ticket into the game, but it wasn't going to give you the front row. Your reservation got you a spot in line for an order that was supposed to be filled first.

I would say it was GM level disconnect between the Marketing Department and the Production Division. I have no idea how MAP is set up, but I've done work in ~12 different assembly plants in Canada, Mexico and the US, and to maximize efficiency on the line, production has to alternate model /...

You folks have to stop thinking your reservation time / date / number means anything to production date. Your reservation got you a ticket to the game, not a ticket to the front row

I noticed mine changed as well, but it changed from the first day I saw my window sticker online (and saved it), to today. Is that an actual date, or just today's date (so if I check tomorrow, it will say Aug 4)?

I was Aug 6 blend date, and was getting excited after being bumped twice, and with MAP being down last week, really thought it would be built this Friday. But reading this now, I'm am utterly shocked at how bad this has gone. For the record, I have worked in automotive for nearly 15 years, with...

Did you have to drill anything, or were you able to attach using factory holes?

The Bronco sits on the same platform as the Ranger, and the Ranger is much narrower than the F-150. My F-150 fits through my 9' garage door, with the mirrors out, albeit very tightly

I asked my dealer not to install the front licence plate bracket. Anyone else looking / have ideas on a better option to mount it (or just waiting for our Government to get smart and discontinue requiring one)?

Anyone who thinks their early reservation means a thing on when their vehicle gets built, is also surprised at the drastic rise in gas prices (or any other commodity out there). Your reservation date means NOTHING when it comes to production scheduling!!!!!!

I've been screaming that Ford needed to do something like this, so happy once again I'm the voice of reason and insight ;) Now, wonder if us Canadians will get something......
