You guys are scaring me.......

Well, if you really want a Bronco, the secret sauce is a 2.3 automatic 4 door soft top mid package Big Bend or Outer Banks without the advanced 4x4 transfer and no rear locker. They will practically do backflips to sell you one of those. LOL.

Of course, that's not the Bronco everyone wants, but somehow the marketing department and bean counters couldn't figure that out. Instead, the Broncos that enthusiasts want were not part of the production plan and parts are therefore not plentiful. This was just shitty planning.

But checkout the Notes in this weeks Scheduling Info. If we believe it looks like some inverse bizarro world for Bronco sched. See "Best Configuration Available" and "Exhausted Availability"
You wonder - 2.3L and Big Bend exhausted ?
Best Config Available is 2Dr Wildtrak ?

Really wonder if we can believe any of these reports. The latest Production Key Constraints says "Total Retail USOB" is less than one month's production. How does that make sense. Why are people still waiting years

Ah yes, the same 2 door WildTrak they couldn't build for me in April. LMFAO...

Unbelievable.

I’m a bit surprised that folks that are ordering this vehicle haven’t gotten the memo about patience. It’s been a long recognized fact that Ford has a major problem with getting these vehicles out in a timely fashion. Good luck to you, and I hope you’re able to get delivery in a reasonable amount of time. In my opinion, it’s best to order it then forget it. Be surprised when it comes in. You’ll be less stressed out.

Either that, or I switch out of Heritage. I could be very happy in another trim as well. But its gotta be a manual. That part is non-negotiable

I have a 3/27/23 Heritage order, my dealer has ghosted me-it is still a cluster at Ford

Def 3024. I mean 2024 they are not building any more 23s at this point are they? Every other manufacturer switches model year production in the summer. My BMW built last or this week is a 2024. Ordered first week of August will arrive by month end or first week of October. Expect 1000 miles on it by Halloween

BTW my 2021 First day reservation converted to order in March 21 built in September after deleting painted modular top delivered 10/9/21. Would have been sooner as it arrived at dealer while we were out west. No horror stories at my end

656 days and it was worth it. I got exactly what I wanted, a 2 door, manual, Race Red Heritage. It is a big bundle of awesomeness is the best way I can describe it. A bunch of people waited longer than me and some are still waiting. The people over at the Heritage thread are great and we really helped and are still helping each other through this mess Ford is putting us through.

Good Luck …!!

only thing I know for sure is production and manufacturing throughout the world on all items hasn’t been the same since Covid. Don’t know that it ever will as companies have found out people will put up with more regarding waits and excuses. Maybe when/if people start saying “ no thanks” I ll spend elsewhere or just not buy then urgency to produce might make a comeback.

Time will tell.

Commendable that you stayed strong for 656 days. Also great to hear that it was worth it. The only thing worse than waiting that long would be not being happy in the end. Congrats on finally getting it.

I'm glad I didn't get a 22 model. Ford gave us first shot at ordering a 23. As soon as I saw the Heritage I ordered one. The whole first batch of us who ordered them got our orders in before the regular order banks opened.

First time poster. Thanks to all for such great info.

Ordered a 4DR Heritage manual on 8/19. Hoping that being only 3 days after the banks opened will make for a reasonable turnaround. The horror stories that you've all posted from the original reservations are scaring me. More recent turnaround seems promising. If job 1 is November, any guesses on how well Ford will handle these in 2024? Really, really hoping for maybe March?

Very frustrating that retail orders continue to be 15-18% for Heritage, yet Ford still only building 3-5% Heritage

The Bronco has seen huge demand since its first reveal. Gradually, increased supply is catching up to leveling demand. I, too, wonder why Ford isn't allocating more toward the Heritage trim, given the demand, but I suspect it may have to do with the number of tops that can be produced. Heritage tops are unique.

As someone who waited over 2 years from the first day that ordering banks opened until December of last year, I mean this in the most helpful and non-antagonistic way possible.

Just enjoy the wait like you're having a baby... go look up accessories like youre buying toys and clean the garage like youre setting up a nursery. you'll have a wait no matter what.Some just wait more than others. Some are getting them in just a few months... others are getting them in 2+ years.

There are so many factors involved that will decide your wait. It depends on your model, your options, and how many allocations your dealer has. Your dealer also has some say in it. If you make a friend there, they can prioritize your order...If you piss them off, they can"99" it which essentially keeps it unbuilt until they feel like giving it a better priority.

Seriously... Enjoy it... its worth the wait.

I inquired about the priority with them. I have a 19. I was told all their customer orders get this number. Other posts here would suggest it’s more about constraints etc. than priority. Is that accurate? If dealer stock gets a 20+ priority, does that mean customer order trump those when ready from the factory?

also, I didn’t enjoy waiting for a baby

MY2023 Broncos are still being built for a while yet.
The Bronco MY2023 to MY2024 transition was originally scheduled for November but has been pushed back into December now.

If you feel you can trust them with that, I guess its ok... but my experience with most dealers is that they will prioritize their builds based to make sure certain customers are taken care of before their allocations are exhausted. They do this by setting the priority codes as a 01 when they want them to be built ASAP, 10-19 when they just want to let the system do its thing, and 99 when they want to stop the build. The dealer has full control over this

 

[DDuboisJr]

Good to know thanks. I have not worked with them before but will keep an eye on it as time goes on. I asked some direct questions about whether they had MY23 carryover and whether they ensured they had an allocation for each order they take. The answer wasn’t super clear to me. Something about customer orders being “different”. He didn’t seem concerned about allocations. But who knows.

 

[USSCajun]

Ordered, my priority was 19. Called the next day to change color magically it moved to 12.
