Funny enough, I learned about those shortly after my original post. Even better though, is after my second delay, I decided I had saved enough & upgraded to an OB anyway. Took delivery in June.
Agreed on the skid plates. Other than the fabric panel shields, this is one of the lowest sitting parts below the vehicle. And a critical part no less... Great spot to high-center on a dirt trail. What's with Ford Engineers locating so many critical components low on the vehicle where it's...
Same thing happened to me last week. Seems a really terrible spot to locate the canister, essentially just slightly back and below the driver seat on the underbody. Road debris of some sort crushed the corner of mine. Insurance considers it a collision so I’m out the $250 deductible for a $1200...
Meet Littlefoot! ?
After nearly an 11 month wait, I finally picked up my new Bronco yesterday!
So beyond excited ?

I’m FINALLY out of the waiting room!
Original reservation 7/26/2020… that one actually got built and sold recently in late April to another customer when I decided to heck with waiting & ordered a second custom build on 1/27/2021 during all the various delays, (which actually started my wait...
My Kodiak OB will be named Littlefoot. Mostly after the little brown long neck dinosaur from Land Before Time, but I don’t hate the clever play on Bigfoot/Sasquatch either.
The date in the box is original invoice date. It will not change and is generated with the original sticker prior to start of production. The date on bottom of sticker in the white border space updates along the build process and shipping/delivery status.
Do you mean awaiting shipment from the factory....? If so, maybe not quite the same one... mine was off the train and awaiting a truck. Regardless, congrats
Window sticker updates:
5/14 Original invoice
5/15 Sticker generated
5/22 Built
5/25 Shipped
5/28 Update - I assume rail transfer...?
5/29 Update - Best guess is truck yard, but Palsapp still shows “pending”
Oh, and called the dealer yesterday to ask and his best reply was Ford still shows...
Well my email for 5/3 delay til 5/17 finally came through on Thursday 5/13... on Friday 5/14 it updated to “In Production” and the window sticker shows invoice date of 5/14, with bottom date of 5/15. I’ll be sure to update tomorrow if the sticker changes again. Fully loaded Kodiak OBx2
I wonder if with the current two week pause my original build date of 5/3 would have missed out on the rear camera washer by a week - prior news articles showed that option to be added to all trims beginning 5/10. My new date is now 5/17... did I just get a free upgrade? One can hope.
Wonder when the window stickers will start updating with the crash test ratings, and when the insurance companies will catch on and start throwing out better rates based on the vehicle now. Hopefully soon.
I’m in the same boat as you. Was 5/3, no new email from Ford. Called my dealer and confirmed we are ALL now moved to 5/17 or later. Me personally, I got assigned 5/17. I’m assuming the email will show up eventually, dealer just had access to it sooner than me.
