It seems from some others here that the checkmark on Built doesn't show until the vehicle is scheduled for transport.
Bottom line, though, is you'll have yours soon!
I called yesterday and was told my build had been moved back to week of 8/2. Different people are getting different info, obviously.
Also, there is no reason to believe that if you haven't been given a VIN yet you won't get built yet. All indications are that Ford still plans to stay on...
They are supposed to hold them for 6 months. If they choose to sell there will be ramifications in future allocations.
Also, I see no evidence in the post that the Bronco pictured is for sale, or has been sold, or even is a demo.
Your Badlands comes with rails from the factory - just in case you didn't realize that.
If you want to upgrade, there will be tons of good options out there. For most people, unless there's a lot of crawling planned, the factory rails on the BD and BL models will get the job done.

Agree 100%. If people are looking for objective reviews that say the Bronco is better in every single way, they're gonna be disappointed. Add in that it's a new vehicle to those reviewers and they're going to miss some things the first time through.
Enjoy the coverage, save the pitchforks for...
I love the different perspectives from viewers of the video. Some find him to be a total Jeep fanboy. I thought this one was reasonable. I can pick some nits throughout, but in general there's nothing in there that is wrong.
As an example, I value the openness of not having the B-pillar...
And their decision to limit information is based on a reasoned approach: build scheduling is moving around a lot, and, in general, customers will respond better to one email later giving them a real build date than several over a couple weeks moving that date around.
Most Bronco buyers aren't...
I've seen nothing to indicate soft tops are a constraint...but they could become one if there are no hard tops. I doubt Webasto is positioned to deliver 500 soft tops daily...
