Nobody including me would consider you a jerk for something that is not in your control. The order in which they build them is confusing and frustrating but this is on Ford. However if you want to give me yours and continue waiting I will buy you dinner at the pickup site....lol.

It's my build week, unless some other weird hoodoo voodoo happens... Let the obsessive refresh of all the status checks I can do, begin! *It's going to be a long week

Just as an FYI to everyone, I have been watching some of the other Badlands that were ordered by the dealership I am going through a few months ago. I just noticed that there were a couple of Badlands with the Badlands package that were in production this last week and have the RCM 737! They have been marked as built and will be shipped by end of next month.
Still a bummer that mine is one of those that are still waiting for the chip, but other cars getting built just means mine is getting closer.

All the window stickers I looked at are green special orders. So the dealer is listing customer ordered vehicles for sale on their web site?

Any order does hit the dealer page by default. Some call the dealer and ask it it is available, in some cases that is how people buy one because the customer backed out. If you see one regardless of sticker color, give them a call.
I am not entirely sure how the system all works. I can just tell you that they ordered the vehicles, they let me know since I had been looking for a BS, then I reserved one I liked. I don't believe this was a cancelled order since they were 50 BS's all available at the same time.
If you look at their official website it lists a lot of these as reserved. It just doesn't show that information here for whatever reason.

My dealer doesn't have my special order listed on their site?

I took my Ford Fiesta into Ford for an oil change and A/C service Friday. They called me Sat and said it needed $5,500.00 in repairs. Struts, u-joints, brakes, Axle seals, A/C compressor, I could go on. It has 240,000 miles. The car isn't worth 1K. Long story short, I bitched at Ford so much that they gave me a loaner car for $300.00 per month (2018 Nissan Sentra) to drive until my BS comes in which I ordered on 2/15 and it's just sitting in some parking lot. My dealer said that they were going to try to push my car through so they can get their loaner car back. Now that I have a reliable car to drive, I can wait a couple months to get the car I really want. No stress anymore.

- 2022 Bronco Badlands (on order)
I just checked this dealership's website and looked up the order information on some of their BL's with BL Pkg and without BL Pkg. The BL's I looked up all had the Green "Special Order" window sticker.Just as an FYI to everyone, I have been watching some of the other Badlands that were ordered by the dealership I am going through a few months ago. I just noticed that there were a couple of Badlands with the Badlands package that were in production this last week and have the RCM 737!

They were ordered on 4/06 and the ones built in June are missing the RCM units and the ones built in July have the RCM units.
So it looks like Ford built cars in June when they did not have RCM units and then got some RCM units in July and built the cars with the RCM units in July and forgot about the cars built in June missing the RCM units. Ford doesn't seem to want to go back to the cars built in June to install the RCM units. This is a really messed up way to prioritize their production.
