For those waiting on their Bronco

Impeccable timing! Got my latest “Dear Customer” email last night from Ford citing ongoing supply chain issues. Laughable. Oh well - here’s to a ‘24 BadSquatch (maybe) built by a bunch of pissed off UAW folks who will feel betrayed by the eventual settlement.

Waited two years for my B .... Hang in there ..

Waited two years for my B .... Hang in there ..

Thanks. No issue. I’m already at the 2 year mark - but love the product so much that I’ll continue to wait. I’m fortunate that I found a nearly identical rig as my order and am enjoying every minute with it.

I hope the UAW and the Big 3 leaders work out a mutually acceptable agreement. I don’t have a dog in the fight - except being a loyal Ford customer for 45 years. Just a friendly reminder for both parties that neither would exist without customers who actually buy products.

Agree. Hope they work out something .. and soon.

Checked my tracker yesterday and mine went into production just in time for them to walk away from it! 22 months and counting.

That sucks... That's only going to push the 24' line back further as well. Guess I've got more time to save up for a bigger down-payment. Heck at this rate I might be able to pay for 1/2 of it or more up front. lol.

The positive to wait ... Smart move!

Has FORD sent you a bunch of stuff during your wait ? I know they loaded us up with all types of stuff... Wasn't expecting anything for that matter
Know you'd prefer your B .. Just thought it was a nice gesture ..

As I waited for 18 months, I was able to save 3/4’s of the cost of my Bronco. That was the silver lining around an otherwise dark cloud. I just tried to look at my glass as half full.

I wonder if all of us who are waiting for one showed up a the factory one week and told them
we're here to keep the line going on Bronco's (only) while ya'll work this out, if they'd let
us work... lol

Just trying to be a little positive, maybe, the strike will help the supply chain catch up. I'm just saying.

Call the customer service number. I did while I was waiting (and hearing about everyone else getting swag) and they gave me a $100 gift card for Bronco merch.

I appreciate the heads up on that. Honestly, now that I'm this close, I just want my Bronco.

Ahhh ok ... I had no clue didn't Google or was a part of this forum then ...
I just guessed everyone was receiving the same/similar stuff...

I started my Bronco adventure on October 11, 2020 and had to deal with the most unbelievable situations. First a super scummy dealer (Smithtown Ford) who wanted $20,000 over sticker and stole a reservation, then 5 months trying to get the dealer changed from Ford. After 19 calls (yes I kept track) I finally got the right person on the phone who changed my dealer to Town and Country Ford, Bessemer Al (I live in NY). At that point I ordered a 2021 Yellow Black Dimond with the Sas package. The 2021 got converted to a 2022 due to the pandemic and supply chain problems. Then there was the great Bronco cleansing of 23 you had to change your order to something you didn't want in the first place or the order would be canceled. I got a call from T&C, Jay told me I needed to change my order to a 2023 and yellow was deleted, and I had from Sep 29 to Oct 29 to do so or my order would be canceled. On Oct 12, 2022 ( two full years from the start) I ordered a Heritage edition with the 2.7 in Asure Gray (which is blue). On March 3 I got my Ford knows who I am e-mail with a VIN and a build date the week of 4/10. Due to chip shortages and some white paint issues with the roof my Bronco was built on 8/11/23 it was shipped on 8/18/23. On 8/24 Ford called my elusive girl has arrived. My son and I booked a flight to AL. On the 8/29 Jay picked us up at the airport we got introduced to the new family member and we were off to NY. It was a great trip lots of Jerky and gas station food 1200 miles to home. After all that was said
IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.
I never thought I would say that. So all of you that are waiting. Keep the faith it makes for a great story and time with your family. I would suggest a 1200 mile trip with your son its priceless!!!
