Just curious if Ford is experiencing issues with parts etc. that is delaying build date. My Bronco Sport is scheduled for March 1 build date.

Just got off the phone with Ford marketing. I was trying to find out why my Nov 16 build was moved to a Nov. 23 build. As of today, Nov. 30th the tracker site (here) still doesn't show it as built. Ford Rep. told me they had no other information on our builds other then what is shown on the tracking site. He didn't know of any manufacturing or transportation delays. Your dealer might have more information but mine did not. The one consideration is the fact that my Bl+Bl is Alto Blue which may delay the build. But why give a build date if that color isn't available? I'm hoping once members start getting build confirmations we'll all learn more.

I am also a March 1st build date for a BL+BL in Area 51. I am not sure why I have to wait so long as I see others with the same specs have much earlier dates.

Not exactly 100% but the trends show that any of the builds with the Premium options (Moonroof) are scheduled later than the builds without the Premium options.

I believe that's because it's technically a different frame.

I ordered my BL without sunroof , only tow package and steelies with silver paint. Ordered on 8-22 , order date confirmed with Ford. Have not been scheduled with a build date yet.

Delivery locale must enter into the equation somehow. It would make zero sense to build in reservation order and then deliver one car here and one car there.

That would be ironic as many of us don't even want the moonroof. I've had a 2001 Escape moonroof bite the dust and my 2008 sounds like its about to. Not a fan.

order date was 8/13. I don't remember my reservation date off hand but was sometime in July.
This is really frustrating my reservation date was 7/15 and order date is 8/25, build date as per Ford marketing is 2/8 without any reason. I have a Badlands + badlands package. The only thing which I have extra in my build is the Engine block heater that I can think of other than that it’s pretty standard with Area 51 color.

Arrow007 -- I'm in the same boat...

After the 2nd build production delay (first was Jan 25th/Feb 1st; second now is Feb 22nd "at the earliest") Wifey is not happy...

So if I'm pushed to March 1st then we're adding 12 weeks or so until delivery of our Badlands...

Just wondering if people with build dates for March 1st was due to the cargo management system. I know I told my dealer to remove that option, but apparently they did not. I asked for a preview of my order and saw that splash guards and cargo mgmt was still on it.

I am part of the 3/1 build group. I did order the cargo management system but I heard that was not backordered anymore. The only thing I have been able to find is that they are having issues with the moonroof which I also got on my BL+BL. But then again I am seeing people get cars with moonroof all the time so I'm not really sure what is going on. I am trying to stay positive and say it is more time for me to save up but I would love to get it tomorrow!

Just called up my Ford dealership to change my order from the Outer Banks trim to the Badlands and the ordering system stopped him. He was only able to order the badlands without the badlands package. The system kept popping up a message about commodity and unable to add badlands package.

He mentioned the Ford rep was coming in tomorrow and we would find out more. But, he stated they must be having issues with getting some of the parts for the badlands package - ugh.....
