Dang it. And i have a shadow black top
You are scheduled so no worries. If you had an order and not scheduled though, it’s not getting built.

it is specific for the week being discussed --the scheduling that happened today for July. this week they were looking for badlands but have exhausted availability on painted and black roofs. next tuesday 5/27 watch his video in the evening and you will have an idea of what is exhausted availability for scheduling for thursday 5/29.

I have found his YT channel to be really useful. He was on the manual transmission delay right away.

Joining the fray -- waiting on a 2DR Oxford White Badlands MT Lux w/Black Appearance Package. Order placed Dec 8th, confirmed the 9th by Ford, still waiting on VIN/schedule.

Guessing the MT option + the shadow black top is why I missed the last window.. 🫠

Crazy because I ordered a badlands with shadow black top in early May and already have a build date and VIN.

Any specifics on your build that the dealer warned about being a possible constraint? I'm wondering if your dealer is short of order allotments for the Bronco as well.

I'm very surprised my order got scheduled the following week of my dealer submitting it, I thought I'd be at least 2-4 months out from seeing it even scheduled.
Dealer seems baffled. Other than the manual, I haven't spec'd any options ever mentioned as constraints on here. Only things I can think of is the tariff situation, or if there is an additional certification process for the new 2.3/MT combination for Canadian sales.

Pretty frustrating after ordering a '24 in September last year and having Ford not fulfill that order.

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to this; we'd all love to know what the story is. There is an October 16, 2024 order from the dealer I ordered with that is virtually identical to mine, including the M/T, and it's been stuck "In Production" since May 6. My order was made November 21, 2024, and (supposedly?) shipped May 16.

From what I can determine by talking to a number of dealerships, if in fact mine was shipped, it is one of the first manuals to be imported into Canada. My dealer is clueless as to tariff status, but I was able to find a number of 2025 automatics shipped after the date tariffs would be applied, and none were subject to them.

Manuals are such a tiny part of total production; we really want one, but if there's a hiccup with our order, I'm moving on so we can have a Bronco for the summer. Have my eye on a 2.7/auto that fits the bill.

Mine is at the dealer getting the hitch installed. I can pick it up on Tuesday or Wednesday.
My dealership had the body shop install the hitch. I asked the service manager verify with the body shop that they did the FDRS programming of the module and they claimed they did. Towed a small trailer Saturday, and sure enough it is not properly programmed. Running lights work, but nothing beyond that:
1. No turn signals
2. No confirmation on Sync screen that trailer is attached
3. No trailer option in features.

Let me know how yours works. I have to take mine back anyway for them to program a third key.
