4/24/2023 Build Week

[malt_liqueur]

If you move to production does that mean it is actively being built, or does this typically happen a few days before it actually being built?

I think it just happens a few days early. My status moved to production Monday afternoon and my Blend date isnt until next Monday.

4/26 build day? If so, that is helpful for a timeline.

Maybe it means 4/27 will get theirs tomorrow and 4/28 on Saturday ....

I was scheduled for 4/24 and my date has moved to 4/28. I do not have a window sticker yet. If you move to production does that mean it is actively being built, or does this typically happen a few days before it actually being built?

There's no clear science to it... Some get their window sticker 7 days before blend and some 6... With a much less common 5 days before.

Once you get a window sticker, they have locked it (barring issues) your blend date, which is widely considered your build date. But the build basically starts the day your window sticker is issued. It means your components (frame, motor, axles, bodypanels, etc are all headed to their position in the production line.

I too have been dumped to 4/28 with no window sticker.

A 4/28 should get a sticker tomorrow... But it could drop to Saturday too. Mine populated some time after 4pm which seemed odd to me, others were up much earlier in the day. I am also 646/868. It's possible that they populate based on your position in line for your blend date.

We’ll see. The waiting is killing me. I made many some big changes to my Bronco after resubmitting my 2023 order in trying to get it scheduled (removed hardtop, Tow Package, changed color) that don’t reflect on the online tracker/scheduled for production email. Email/tracker still showed with hardtop, tow, and Eruption Green, which honestly I 100% prefer hardtop and tow and was 50-50 on white or green. So I’m hoping my dealer just messed up and didn’t remove those things, which based on the tracker and the order sheet from my dealer, that seems to be the case. But the window sticker will give me 100 percent certainty. Soooooo really hoping it comes soon haha.

I made a change to my order 2/1/23 and added the modular bumper in lieu of the capable bumper. It shows as such on the tracker. I love your odds!! I would trust the tracker. What the tracker says is what Ford will build!

I'm a 4/27 too (561/871) I guess it will be an afternoon birth.

I clicked on the windowsticker and it did not work. This link worked though

Hopefully the 4/28 crew is rewarded tomorrow as expected.

And hopefully on 4/28 (a Friday) we’re not given some of the typical end of week/weekend minded work ethic with mismatched fender flares, wrong carpet, plastic skids on mod bumpers, or missed matched seats I’ve seen posted on this forum haha
