I also have had radio silence from all concerned. Just sent an email to my dealer to see if they know anything.

Hey Raymo, I just got the same build date, I ordered a Badlands Area 51 with gray top, how about you?Just got schedule for 1/4/21
Does this mean I canāt make anymore changes?
YesDid any of you with VINs have the (late availability) Cargo Management System included in your order?
I have a FE with with cargo management system. I have a vin and a build week.Also very curious about this. I'm worried the Cargo Management System is delaying my order ?
Dealer told me today that the build order is FEs, OBs, BLs. My build date is 1/4, car would arrive late Jan early FebAnyone know how long shipping takes once a vehicle is built? My dealer said they hope mine makes it out before the holiday shutdown between Christmas and New Years'.
You may be waiting a while even if you order now. I didn't order my BS BL until about two weeks ago. My order number is in the 400k range, and the first orders in sequence were (I think) in the 100k range. Even if Ford is working 3 shifts, that many vehicles will take a long time to ship to customers. There is some risk that I may not even get my vehicle until late 2021 at the earliest.I spoke to the dealer at length today and was told once more that a VIN is "not the final" step and changes in color and options like the "organizer," or "tires" can be added / altered afterwards when the dealer contacts the buyer before everything is finalized. Maybe another dealer can chime in and confirm or deny.
That's good to know!Dealer told me today that the build order is FEs, OBs, BLs. My build date is 1/4, car would arrive late Jan early Feb
So much for FE being scheduled first... my Area 51 FE is scheduled for 1/4 according to the email I received from Ford on 10/22. Still havenāt heard anything from the dealership - shocking. My order was placed 8/7 because my dealership didnāt know Ford was taking orders sooner. What a cluster this has been.Just got an email from Ford saying my Bronco Sport Outer Banks is scheduled for build the week of 12/14!!!! Surprising since that's Alto Blue which was supposed to be "Late Availability".
I reserved my Area 51 First Edition on 7/13 within two hours of it going online - would have been sooner but the site kept crashing while I was making my reservation. After I was able to convince my dealership Ford was in fact allowing people to convert reservations to orders, I placed my order on 8/7 (they seemed to be confusing the Sport with the 2 and 4 door ābigā Broncos). I received an email from Ford that my build week is January 4 on 10/22 but no VIN. Despite a couple calls to my dealership prior to receiving the email from Ford in which I was assured by the dealership that I would hear from them immediately once my order was scheduled I have in fact not heard anything from them. Nothing. I will be calling them tomorrow to see if they can provide me with a VIN and explain why my build date is pushed out till next year since they and several people on this forum have expressed the FE was supposed to be first in the build order and that is proving to be untrue. How can dealerships be this clueless?Just a suggestion.... can everyone post the date your reservation was originally made when you receive a VIN and build date so we can estimate when others will be built? Thanks.
