Yes sir thats the plan. and you?
Unfortunately it’s a no go for me right now. Put in my build and didn’t get picked for a Golden Ticket. Then tried to be a hand raiser and that was also a no go. Definitely going to get one, but it’s just a matter of when. Glad it’s working out for you. I don’t mind living vicariously through other members for now
My dealer just told me that my build is in June. .....Yippeeeee!
It doesn't show up online yet, but I'll take the good news.... It is starting to feel real! Looks like I might get a BR close to two years after my 7/14/20 reservation.

Heck yaaa!! June will be here before we know it and will be able to finally be the real deal
What does this mean?
I am the only Bronco Raptor allocation at my dealer, Ford says they will produce all allocated MY 2022 Raptors before switching to MY2023 at the end of the summer. So even if I'm last on the list I'll get by Fall this year.
That’s pretty sweet to know it’s a for sure thing
It means your place in line depends more on your dealer's sales performance.
I verified my order using the backdoor site. I am not sure why it doesn't show up in the 'front door'. I have a w/o 6/6 build date! It's official! ...Now I can get excited!
My dealer is strictly MSRP, even with the BR...

Hope so. Has there been any announcements of delays yet?
Crap. I am still in the dark with my order. I just need to squeeze out the order number from my buddy so I can keep an eye on it through the back door link.
Congrats!

So what does that mean, as in those are the dates they will start building from some customers? So how many weeks have the announced will be built?

I posted this over on 6G:
I think it makes sense - hopefully you all do as well.
I'm not scheduled, 8/6/2020 Resv.
Here's my take on what's happening with the schedule:
1) Clearly there are several thousand Bronc on the mountain that need to be finished and delivered
2) The introduction of Raptor builds have to be factored in to the line.
3) There was an unannounced scheduling of Raptors last week for the same build weeks (May and June) of other trim levels being scheduled now (in the announced week)
4) Dealer allocations seemed higher than the past for this run
The big question (formula) Ford is trying to answer right now is - how do we maximize delivery, while maintaining high production capacity and having net negative contribution to ice mountain (meaning lets finish/deliver more ice mountain vehicles than we add back coming off the line due to chip constraints)
To me - this says that Ford is trying to sort out the ice mountain completions and then fill in as many Raptor (still early resv holders) builds as possible and then scheduling a 3 week block of all other Bronco builds into that same set of weeks - I think they will assess their formula and see if they did in fact move more vehicles off ice mountain than add back off the line and then adjust the next few weeks of scheduling based on replenished parts to fulfill the next build weeks.
I'd expect another set of Raptors scheduled and then another BIG bunch of Broncos from first 2-3 weeks of reservations.
Just my educated guess - as a process engineer - this is how I'd likely handle this (obviously there are way more unknowns than I have access to, but this seems reasonable in my head.)

Makes sense. Of course passing on increases in production cost is probably factored in there somewhere.
