My wife ordered an OB w/OB in March, expecting delivery in May. June wasn't a big deal, but early November was annoying and December (possibly January depending on dealer scheduling around the holiday) is looking pretty ridiculous, especially since a lot of vehicles ordered later have been delivered.

Oh, and the primary driver for the purchase was that two car seats in her Crosstrek makes things really tight, and the new baby arrived in August, which we had expected to be enough after the original car arrival date not to worry about ordering. Not being able to fit both kids and the double stroller in the car until December is not a happy situation.

Best part? Zero communication from the dealer, who has been holding a deposit since she placed the order.

Makes total sense. When I ordered my my22 first week of September I did so thinking I would not see it until April or May 2022 which would be a total order to deliver of 8 months which technically would be almost the same as those of you that ordered in March and get delivery in December.
Except that those who ordered in March were supposed to get it in July, we were never supposed to get it in October or December.

The window sticker used to mean something it doesn’t mean anything anymore with the exception of if there is a blend date there. The date on the bottom changes just from logging in.

Just checked my order and the estimated delivery date changed from 11/1 to 12/24! Anybody else’s?
Just checked my order, and it is built as of 9/26.
Ordered 3/11, in production 6/10, built, 9/26, RCM installed 9/18. No recall on this one. Estimated delivery changed from 11/3 to 10/30. Things must be moving finally in the desert.

Take a look at this ! We all wonder where are our chips and parts. This is
the reason !! Will they ever get offloaded ? Wake up America we CAN
produce a lot that is in those containers. And the wait continues.

Long time reader, first time poster. I checked mine which was ordered in April, built June 17th. I went from 10/31 to 11/3 to 12/24. I just checked I'm back to 10/31. When I spoke to my dealership last week when it went to the 12/24 they said they still expect it first week of November.

Mine was built on June 12th. Same delivery dates, but my dealer checked into mine and said that it was going to be December for me. So I ordered a 2022. I'm guessing that both will come in within a month of each other. Might as well get one that hasn't been sitting in the sun for months. I also wanted to add the cargo management system that I didn't order on my 2021. And the 2022s have the universal garage door opener. That's not a big deal, but it's nice to have.

Ordered bs/bb with moon roof, 360+, built 6/15 new delivery of 12/24/21. For now, my dealer has a call to Ford to see if they can better explain why.

I sent Ford a second letter asking about my June build. It turns out even Ford has a hard time mistaking the Bronco Sport for the Bronco. What an embarrassment (and a waste of a perfectly good stamp).
