Twelve Sixers - The Lost Batch

[broncobex]

swiftly reminded why I've chosen to be a silent observer on this forum instead of an avid poster....

Aww - don't let those guys bother you. We 12-6ers are a surly bunch these days. It's hard. We just want to know what's going on and why Ford is churning out '22s when our '21s are MIA. I think that what it's easy to lose sight of is that most of the people, like yourself, who are getting '22s have been waiting just as long as we have since our 7/20 reservations and 1/21 orders. We just drew the lucky straw that made us '21s and then it turned out to be the unlucky straw that stranded us on "snow mountain" or wherever it is that we are. Speaking personally, I try to be happy for those getting their '22s, but I have quit "liking" their posts.

We are just bitter.

Lol no its all good, I was joking, but understand the frustration! As you said, we've all waited for so long and now that the end is near for you guys, for there to be such a lack of information has to be infuriating. I genuinely hope Ford can sort through this mess quickly for you guys and get you on the road!

OK - I'll chime in...

My Bronco has been 'In Production' for more than 5 weeks now! Whatever part they ran short of could easily be sent to my dealer to be installed if the vehicle is in running order. I'd live without a passenger or back seat or mats or Tube Steps or Roof Rails - whatever it is to get my Bronco anytime soon. (I completely get if it's a critical safety part or what not, but we're not being told what it might be - not even a hint - leaving all to speculate wildly).

We have not been able to track to identify what may be holding us up as other models with the same features are rolling off the line and getting shipped.

I'm not bothered that other Broncos built alongside of mine are being delivered, but I can't help but really be bothered that MY22 Broncos are being delivered before mine is even built!

If I could at least be told that it's built and in the process of being shipped (waiting in a Rail yard somewhere, or waiting on temporarily sick drivers), I'd be relieved that it COULD be here anytime. So I'm left thinking that some 'thug' hired off the street has been given the key to joy-ride my special order to McD's and 7-11 in Detroit through the snow and muck.

Thanks @2w1se for opening this 'venting' thread. Power to the Lost Batch!

If you think about it from a business point of view, FORD was not going to delay MY 22 for various reasons, such as bad press, wall street, exec bonus, etc., They most likely reallocated parts (chips, other commodities) from our build week to the MY 22's to meet the date. We just happened to be the last weeks prior to MY22 builds and got the short end of it.

In 2021 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Twelve Sixers.

Ahhhhh!!! This is good Stuff!! Shitty situation, but great memories from this post!!! Hope all of you folks are able to get your Broncos SOON!!

He's just expressing what I think we're all feeling.

What makes you think Ford is capable of keeping track of which Bronco was shipped without which part and to which dealership and when?

 

[Harper]

I was led to believe that part of the build scheduling process was assessing the available components and matching them to orders "Your reservation* timestamp, and not the date that you place your order with your dealer, will be used to determine when your Bronco gets produced. Other factors for final delivery timing include vehicle model and configuration selected, part constraints, and the number of Bronco vehicles your dealer will receive."

Watching the '22 deliveries is a real gut punch.

I'm not a twelve sixer (well, I once was before getting that date moved too) but my 12/13 blend was moved to in production on 12/15 is also stuck on "snow mountain" awaiting a built email.
