Now it’s just getting weird…..

I really can’t complain too much since I actually have an assigned VIN number and it appears my Wildtrack will be built sometime in 2021, but had to post this to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing. First email comes today at 10:44am saying my build date has been pushed to July 26……ok, take a deep breathe, it is what it is.

Then at 7:11pm, another update emails arrives, stating my build date is now August 23. Now its just bizarre.

My original build date was June 26, then pushed to July 5, and now two emails on same day. Control the controllable.

Again, I’m very fortunate to be in this position, but at this point, Ford should just stop communicating bogus dates to customers, tell the truth about what’s going on, get their sh*t together, keep building, and then give realistic status reports. “Under promise, over deliver” would win the day at this point. You know, the old fashioned way.

Anyone else experience something similar or know why this could have happened on the same day?

The production facility has a scheduled one-week shutdown the week of July 26. That probably came out right after you were moved to a July 26 production, so it immediately got moved to August. No big deal.

I believe they are hustling to get these Bronco's built, especially after what I'm guessing were a bunch of canceled orders after the Bad News emal ! My first assigned build date was supposed to be this week. Received my first delay email in May saying new build week was July 5th. When I heard about MAP being closed the same week, I decided to call my dealer for an update. They told me I have another new date of July 13th. Today at 4 pm I received another email from Ford saying or clarifying my new build week is now July 12th.

My 7/5 build week was moved Monday to August: “Your vehicle is now scheduled to be built the week of August 2, 2021.”. It’s just their new best guess :)
