Understood and appreciate your feedback but I wasn't even referring to those posting vehicle tracking requests in the "Vehicle Locator by Ford Employee" forum.

Because members keep creating new topics asking the same questions that have been answered over and over in multiple threads.

I'll do anything I can to provide assistance, as will the other moderators and members that have been active for many years, and understand your frustration. Quite frankly, there are a lot of new members in the past few months and few have bothered to read the information and resources available. Doing so would answer most questions but instead many create topic after topic and the same questions over and over. Ford is doing its best to address the microchip situation and deliver vehicles but provides no information to Dealers other than identifying the affected vehicles in the Vehicle Visibility reporting system. The constant posts with the same questions that have been answered in multiple threads is just wasting a lot of time for some of us and not contributing anything positive to the discussions. As a further example... look at some of the threads and the posts asking or sharing the same questions. When did you order your vehicle? What is your priority code? Why is my priority code 19? When did you make your reservation? How come other orders are getting scheduled before mine? If you look at the members making these posts, that just repeat the same questions posted previously, you'll find that it's almost always from new members. And these are all questions that have been answered time after time. Yes, I'm venting here and it's not intended personally but only as an example of the time wasted addressing the same questions and issues all too frequently these days. I spend a lot of time providing information and resources to assist the community here but don't have unlimited time to spend here when there are other priorities.

Is it really that important to know the specific chip information? Depending on the vehicle specifications, there's probably multiple chips involved and knowing isn't going to get your truck or anyone else's truck delivered sooner. Neither you or your Dealer has any control over the situation and Ford is doing everything it can to address the situation.

Read the 2021 Bronco Order Guide which is available in the Dealer Order Guides section.

Please do NOT create threads asking the same questions in different forums!

Relax. The Window Sticker and Dealer Invoice aren't generated until shortly before the vehicle goes into production.

Options and package content changes and is noted in the order guides that are available in the Dealer Order Guides section. The order guides provide all the information on available specifications, content, restrictions, etc. If it's not in the order guide, it's not available.

The information came from an internal report that was sent to dealers last week. I posted the notice in one of the threads but can't find it right now.

Scheduling Notes On Thursday, June 24, Bronco, Transit, Transit Connect Wagon and Transit Connect Van orders will not be selected for scheduling.

Separate issues.

As noted in the 2022 Super Duty Pickup Order Guide... SYNC® 4 with 12” LCD Capacitive Touchscreen – standard on Lariat, King Ranch®, Platinum and Limited

Commodity restrictions apply ONLY to unscheduled orders.

No. SYNC 4

There are a number of factors with the most common issue being commodity issues. Not all body codes, frames or options are available at the same time and orders are not scheduled unless all the order specifications are available. The other issue posted recently in the Scheduling Notes is that orders with SYNC 4 are on hold until further notice. Ford makes every effort, when possible, to make commodity exceptions for retail orders in order to expedite scheduling.

FYI... As I posted yesterday in the Scheduling Notes... 2022MY Super Duty Until further notice, XLT Super Duty orders with the following configurations will not be selected for scheduling: XLT series with the Tremor Package (17Y) XLT series with the Trailer Tow High Capacity with UTT & PTBA option (53Q) XLT series with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera option (53R)

From the Las Vegas-Review Journal coverage about the Barrett-Jackson auto auction... Gov. Steve Sisolak turned up to introduce the 2021 Ford Bronco 4-door Badlands Raiders Edition, which capped at $275,000. The money raised is being turned over to the Raiders Foundation.
