Got In Production status June 16, Production Date June 22, June 23 bottom of window sticker, ETA 10/31, still In Production. My guess it gets pushed into the storage lot in Mexican summer sun for several months. But no one really knows...

I've come to the conclusion it means absolutely nothing. Mine changed 6 times last week and again last night, my scheduled build week isn't for another 12 days so it's probably not moving through the assembly process. Tracking is showing in production but nothing else, ETA is still NA.

I'm convinced it means they turned it in the baking sun of the Sonoran desert so it gets evenly sun faded.

The 10/31 delivery date is one day before production starts for the maverick. My thoughts are that ford expects to be çaught up on the BS's by then. Other then that, I think ford is just as clueless as we are.

Based on mine...I'd say it's ready to ship/deliver.

You're such a tease
I pray that you are correct.

Might ship today, maybe next week, maybe several months from now, no one knows. Dealers do not know. Missing parts, defective parts from suppliers, could be quality issue, no one knows.

Really want to be optimistic. Truly what happened with mine. Once dates started jumping all over, it was on palsapp and on its way. I agree with Cuda, there is a lot of limbo right now. I try to remain hopeful.
My badlands I had ordered was scheduled for July 14....arrived at the dealership June 25. So... anything is possible.

A miracle could happen you never know.

Today I get to move out of the waiting room. I’ve been more of an observer here in the waiting room but we took delivery of my wife’s BS Big Bend today! We got lucky and found a dealer ordered BS that wasn’t already reserved and it was the exact spec she wanted. Basically, she wanted the BB in Area 51 and didn’t really care about all the extras although she did spring for the cargo mat and the nice floor mats. When we decided to go for it and place a deposit, it had just been built a few days before.

Built 5/25

Deposit 5/29

Shipped 6/7

Delivered and picked up today 6/30

We got extremely lucky and the timing worked out perfectly. Here’s a pic of her BS next to my Defender 90….the colors, yeah we kinda look like twins!

Congrats. That seems to be the shortest path to the unicorns.

Congrats! Thats what I'm waiting on except with the BB package and 360+ so its in limbo with the rest.

Love the Defender too! How's it been so far? I really wish Ford would've offered the white roof on the BS like some of the early designs showed. The gray is really nice on the BL, but a white top with Area 51 or Rapid Red would look awesome imo, I love it when I see it on Defenders.

Thanks! Yeah I agree with you regarding the white roof on the BS. I’d be happy if they just offered the black and gray roof on all the trim levels. I’ve had the Defender since March and it’s been great so far. A couple of little glitches with the entertainment system, but a quick reset usually clears up any bugs. I opted for the air suspension and it rides great and the ability to gain a little extra ground clearance comes in handy. Mechanically it’s been boringly reliable…unfortunately I don’t think every Land Rover owner can say that. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed

The wife and I are loving the BS so I have a feeling the Defender is going to be jealous here shortly!
