Done.

This is typical behavior whenever anyone says "my dealer said."
In the time we've all spent on this forum, it has been determined that if the dealership is not active in here, they generally have no idea what is going on at MAP. They typically see only what comes and goes through their dealership and blurt out contradictory statements to what this forum is already ahead of.

It's becoming beyond ridiculous. I am getting old. I was a young man when I reserved my 2 door Bronco - 7/20/20 - now I am 65. The entire process is a slap in the face from Ford. First it was hard tops.. that issue seems to be taken care of. Then it was chips - and we all know that 4 doors and Raptors use less chips than a 2 door, right?! I really thought I was going to own a Bronco, but it appears more & more to be just a fantasy.

According to the b6g survey from a year ago, 34% are 2 door.

I'd be curious to see how much that has changed since many 2D folks jumped ship to a 4D to speed up the process.

Ya that number might be cut in half. Lotta people switched after the hardtop issues I’m sure.

Literally just more speculation at this point. Yawn. Moving on.

Look, you're just a kid. You'll learn that all good things come to those who wait... ...

Tried to send (another) email to the guy in charge of the Bronco orders at my dealership that hasn't responded to the email I sent a couple weeks back. Nothing big, just asked if he could tell me how many orders were in front of mine and how many are they allocated monthly. Didn't expect an answer, but I did get an email back - a bounce message because he no longer works there.

I confirmed with the sales manager, who tried his best to find out but I think he ended up calling the same number we're all told to call. When he called back, he said that right now the 2-door model is the biggest constraint - of the entire Bronco production right now, only 15% are the 2-door. Mind you, I do have the Sasquatch and Lux packages too, so it's not the only constraint, but it's the biggest one right now. I'm gonna stick it out and wait for it (been waiting 543 days already), but if anyone out there with a 2-door order is willing to change, you might get it sooner.

My 2door has been scheduled for 5-23-22 build week with 8-2-2020 res. So they are getting to us, slowly

Done.

I am confused, is that the first drink. Because I have to slow down for everyone else to catch up.

If Ford wants me to buy a 4 door, well, the 4 runner is coming next year... If they want me to buy a Ford they better build the 2 doors.
I'm getting over the whole Bronco thing lately. I want a bronco, Ford just want to sell vehicles labeled "bronco", they are losing me lately. Which is sad because i LOVED my BRONCO, lately im thinking it's just not the same company anymore

......

Is the constraint 15% of all Broncos or 15% of 2 Door Broncos? Also, what is the % of 2 door vs 4 door orders?

@FordVideoGuy Any ideas?

The commodity restraints have been posted a few times over the past 9 months.
The 'USOB Mix' for the 2 door has been around 28-29%. This is the 'US Order Bank', or the nationwide percentage of 2 door models ordered. Sometimes the USOB number is left off of the charts. The 'Build mix' or 'capacity' numbers for 2 doors I've seen posted were 17% (June 2021), 19% (Sept 2021), and 13% (Feb 2022). This is what Ford can build.

We should be comparing the Build mix/Capacity numbers (13-19%) to the USOB numbers (28-29%). What this means is Ford is able to build about half of the 2 doors that are ordered.
Webasto is supposedly getting their second plant online, they had a job fair about a month ago.
Hopefully they'll be building Bronco tops to get Ford caught up.

I’m a 7/15/20 reservation, 2-door BL, Sasquatch, High package, and it’s been crickets since the last BS trinket.

What dealer did you order from because I had the same issue where I couldn't get a hold of the guy, until I walked in and asked to work with someone else.

15% for 2 door. So that would be 15:85 2 door to 4 doors built.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I don't know what you're all complaining about. I was at a South Orange County dealership yesterday and they had several 2 doors there for the taking. Now, most had RETAIL stickers in the window so maybe they had just not been picked up.

They did have a 2 Door Base Squatch outside and a second 2 Door 7 Speed Black Diamond with custom wheels on the showroom floor with a measly $30K ADM each if you want them.

The salesman told me I'd get it in 2025 if I ordered.
