Yes. Build Weeks 11/1-12/06
Looks like full scheduling, which I assume to be soft tops. This is balance out, Ford will be exhausting all the commodities they can, expect stock units to schedule when they run out of buildable retail units. I imagine there will be some clean up scheduling in the coming weeks as well, so this likely won't be the last chance to get scheduled. Ford did say final orders are due 10/1/2021 though, so this is the last chance to get a soft top build in.
Feel free to use this thread to post your scheduling and production questions. I'm no expert, but I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If I don't know, I'll see if I can reach out to my contacts for more clarity.
I cannot tell you your odds of being scheduled. I don't have enough scheduling information for that. I can answer questions on the scheduling process, allocation process, basic info on the assembly process, and the transportation process.
This question is asked enough that I thought it important that everyone who has this question understands the cadence.
The below information is no longer accurate due to the ever-changing situation, but I'm leaving it up for those that are interested.
GENERALLY SPEAKING:
Ford schedules orders on Thursdays. This is true for all model lines. Normally Ford schedules weekly or a couple weeks at a time. With Bronco, they're doing things a little differently. Scheduling is done in three phases throughout the scheduling period which is supposed to be monthly. That has been messed up a little with the shutdowns and what have you, but is mostly correct. Phase 1 is First Editions which is one week, Phase 2 is Regular Broncos which is one week, Phase 3 is Cleanup which is multiple weeks until the next scheduling period.
P1/P2 are self explanatory.
P3 is Ford working though additional available commodities attempting to schedule unscheduled allocation to maximize the assembly line and parts available.
