I just ordered my BSBB (w/only Convenience) Monday and got my VIN today, so hopefully things are moving in the right direction for everyone.
I feel significantly less special now.

If you got a VIN, then definitely things are moving in the right direction.

Snowflake much?:giggle:
Way too old to be a snowflake. Salty old sailor for sure. As they say, a bitching sailor is a happy sailor...and I'm downright giddy.

Hey congrats, you have the patience of a Saint btw
Thanks! But it’s all those chip shortage people & lot rot people of 2021 that showed me the way. Nothing like seeing others’ experiences to know there’s nothing like patience when it comes to getting out of the waiting room

I tell people that Patience like Virginity is a Virtue, and I ain't got either of them. :)

It was a rough 5 months knowing mine was just sitting in the desert waiting on the Restraint Control Module.

But Ford did send us the $100 Amazon card. The amount wasn't much, but the gesture meant a lot.

Got my emai from Ford today with a May 23 production. Not going to get my hopes up just yet, will wait another month before I put the corsair up for sale. Placed my order 2/9 BS BL premium, 360+, moonroof, CMS, no tow.

It would seem that my talk with Ford Customer Service gave some accurate information. It does seem that the Tow Package is the real holdup on a lot of orders now. I don't think that anyone that has gotten a May build date had the Tow Package. The rep told me they were only filling 33% of orders with the Tow Package.

Good news, got the scheduled production email this morning! To be built the week of 5/23. I was getting a little discouraged yesterday when I didn't see an email, and since it has almost been two months since the order was accepted, I figured it might still be awhile since I ordered at a smaller dealer. It is only a BB but its pretty loaded with options: Convenience Pkg, 360+, Tow Pkg, Moonroof, rubber seat backs and cargo management. So I was thrilled to see I got the email today. I just about shouted for joy and I was grinning from ear to ear for several minutes!

I guess I was a lucky May tow pkg build... 5/23

Not related to the BS but I know the the individual that does all the commercial ordering for the dealership and he has a full size Bronco ordered that has been held up for many months because of the tow package.

Nope, you ordered a Badlands. By default your wait will be longer (think special) because of more items with limited availability. Same for the full size. If I wanted a Big Bend moredoor, softtop, 2.3, AT, and no options, I could get in 3-4 months. But noooooo, I want a 2 Door Badlands with all the goodies so it’s end of the line for you (me).

You & me both! I didn‘t think to ask sales dude what the other customer ordered for a BS that was held up. I wonder if she had the same options/constraints I did. Either way, glad to be one of the May builds now. I can only guess what few tow package materials are available they’re prioritizing the longest waited builds.
