There have been posts stating 4-6 weeks, guessing it will also play to how far from MAP you are.

There are way too many variables than can affect production and delivery. It could be assigned a VIN and built in a few days. But it could be held up a week for inspection. Then it could sit a month waiting for transport. I ordered a Jeep Gladiator the first week in March. It was on the dealer lot three weeks later. Other people it has taken 8-12 weeks. Sometimes more.

if bronco sport is any indication...

Besides the bs timeline, how can anyone expect anything in a timely matter. Boggles the mind anyone considering 'will my ship date be accurate?' ' how much time to?' type questions. Yeah understand its nice to have a timeline but mehhh sorry.
This chippy issue is only stacked on top of other parts unavailability issues. Which will now factor in % delays continuously. It did/has for the bronco sport as example.
And everyone knows with Bronco already on orders.
How many here have been to a dealership recently like within this week?
This week spoke with three different dealerships from Ford who all have told me they have zero incoming vehicles and you cannot order anything right now at all. They are in complete erratic behavior mode with pricing ...
only have limited vehicles on their lots . this is in Southern California.

Asking $5000
mark-ups on 1.5 models and not selling unless people finance kinda chit. ( hb ford)
What you see on the lot IS what they have. Period.
No new vehicles comming in. Period.
The sales people i could tell are clearly being pinched out of the income loop.
They know people are walking away from experiencing the higher pricing on what is sellable on the lot has created higher monthly payments and people are not qualifying for finance.

Sounds goods. I’m in Huntington Beach California so imagine that’s going to be a long haul. Thanks!

If you have a build date, congratulations! You're ahead of 99% of us. As far as how long it will take from the date of your build date? No one knows. As said above, 6-8 weeks is the guesstimate, but since none have actually been built for customers yet, no one knows.

Mine is expected to go in productions the week of June 14. If I can take delivery before the end of the summer I will be happy, but if it were to be delivered earlier, I would not complain.

8 weeks is probably a good bet. Then they'll sit on the builder lot waiting for chips.

As of right now, chips are not the hold up. It seems that every other Ford line has chip issues, but currently the Bronco is not one of them.

In 2022 FMC still has issues. However they are getting better. Yesterday received your BRONCO IS OFF THE ASSEMBKY LINE.PICTURE attached! History: 8/10/20 resev.:; 3/16/21 MY21 ORDER; then 99 hold: 10/8/21 MY22 confirmation due to new red HOT PEPPER. Then 99 code to 10 and in January vin# window sticjer, then 2/8/22 email " in production date" New salesman calls say actual date 2/9/22. 2nd email FMC "in production w/e of 2/28/22. New window sticker says Blend date 3/2/22; then new window sticker says 3/6/22 and tracking says 3/5/22 buikt date ✓ ed off step 3/5. Yesterday picture maybe final inspection picture saying Your Bronco is off the assembky line and new window sticker dated 3/14/22.

Ford marketing says estimated shipping date 3/31/22 and vehicle technology says FYNC4 was live ready for activation. Finally it is reported that Sync 4 communicates with all say 31 modulars (chip sets) so I figue be at dealer by April 15,2022 TAX DAY!

Start 10/8/21 - finish say 4/15/22 thats 27 weeks A model change 21 to 22, MIC issues, chip delays of three weeks to 2/28/22, but once window stickers kept updating, things happen fast 3/2-3/22 20 days and out the door?? Here is those final inspection image!

it'll take two weeks. You could buy a Jeep.

Bronco buyer is stunned.

Bronco Customer

Two weeks! That don't do me no good!

FORD PROPRIETOR

Bronco Customer
Hold on there - I don't want a Jeep , I want A Bronco

I can’t get a Bronco any quicker. You can order a Jeep.

Bronco Customer

@Baytoujim

Did you get picture off assembly line? Did you get emailed shipped? I lived in Daytona and tried to have dealers changed after 8/10/20 reservations. Florida dealer said he doubts the NY dealer would go along,and marketing said cant help, since the ordering dealer is the legal owner when shipped by rail. Where did you get delivery date from?
Also the below pic was taken on 3/22/22; blend 3/2/22 and built date 3/5/22. Dont know where it was for two weeks between built date 3/5/22 and final production pic, maybe inspection unit. Its only a base 4d.
