Another bump to 11/3/21 est delivery :( Ford update

[LilKim]

Today we saw that our Est Delivery date bumped from 10/31/21 to 11/3! My friend (gen sales mgr @ dealership) got on the phone w/ his Ford rep, and what he told me was "ALL my Bronco Sports and everyone elses (outside his dealership) have been moved to "on hold"... Base, BB, and OB (Mine was BL). I have 9 at the pant that just changed to that status"...

I ordered mine Jan 25th, I never imagined having to wait this long, even sold my car b/c the dealership was desperate for inventory & made me a great offer. Only thought I'd have to go another month on one-vehicle. I really want my Bronco (it's the only vehicle I wanted), but I don't know if I can wait. If I get something else I'll just be disappointed. ?

may be worth a heavy search for an available badlands in your area...might be the fastest path sans a car to drive.

I've done that. I'm not seeing any close - There was one, but it's not the color I want and and to me color was a big deal

yeah understood, just sucks. Hope you can wait it out or find a better solution. The cactus grey i've seen look sharp. The dealer I ordered with is starting to add more and more sports, there's a chance.

I've been on this forum for almost eighteen months, and was delayed for various reasons (dealers/Ford) until finally ordering.
When I get frustrated due to the wait, I peruse this link to make me feel better about waiting, hoping Ford will get some kinks ironed out on their line: https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/forums/issues-repairs-warranty-recalls-tsb.45/

Several months back wife suggested we sell CRV and go less one car while we wait. I told her no we will get rid of CRV after BS is in our possession. Its been a rough year for Ford and we are in a bad spot for a bit longer. But I think we hit rock bottom and should slowly, very slowly, see some improvements...

I'm not sure, I think it could get worse (again). I'll be surprised if it arrives before Christmas. I've always been the "practical" car driver and the CRV was going to be our default. Then I was like, 'nope! gonna get the car I want'. I feel like such a complainer, but it's been 7 months for me I feel like I'm watching everyone get theirs before me. (I know, boo hoo)

hey I know it’s frustrating and all but once you are in possession of it, it will just be another car after a couple months. I mean it’s awesome looking and all that, but it’s not like a CRV won’t do the same job.

(just trying to make you feel better lol)

nah I think you have a valid concern and it seems a bit rough that your SPECIFIC order probably put you behind the 8 ball. The Badlands trim upgrade undoubtedly is your bigger issue. I'm the guy who tries to bring the optimism, but this is one of those deals...why can't they catch up the people who've waited this long? As I've posted in many spots, I've technically processed TWO badlands since March...meanwhile you need a couple extra chips...that doesn't seem right.

lol....yeah it's not a CRV you make a good point, but the CRV is a soccer van in contrast. The badlands is a whole different sort of toy, it really is. (see...I mainly focus on the benefits of the sport)

no doubt, I was trying to look at some sort of bright side ?

Yeah I know, and honestly for some the CR-V in the driveway is perfect and IN the driveway vs a sport 1800 miles away in the desert.

Or better yet, either in a garage or under a carport.

I had been putting off looking at 4Runners as I wait for the BS I ordered. The pushback to 11/3 is likely the nail in the coffin for the BS. If I find a suitable 4Runner I'll go that route and I'll be done with Ford for at least another few years. I won't putting another order for BS or Bronco.

I understand the frustration but you can’t really shun Ford for things out of their control. They rely on parts manufacturers to supply parts to build cars and when the manufacturers don’t have the parts to supply Ford to build the cars, you know the rest…
