The Ford Authority Take

Ford Bronco sales took a nosedive during the fourth quarter of 2023, falling to last place in a very small segment, with deliveries at less than half of its nearest competitor. That would be the Jeep Wrangler, which itself got bumped from the top by the Toyota 4Runner.

UAW’s targeted strike this past September against FoMoCo at the Michigan Assembly plant, which builds the Bronco and Ford Ranger, could be a contributing factor to Bronco sales by limiting available inventory at dealer lots. Only a handful of units rolled off the production line during October, though production rebounded in November and increased in December.

Furthermore, reservations for some of the 2023 model year were restricted to existing reservation or order holders. Meanwhile, order banks for the 2024 Bronco opened up this past August, allowing customers access to the latest iteration of the rugged pony. However, the 2024 model has already been hit by ongoing supply chain constraints, resulting in the deletion of the Keyless Entry Keypad and Base trim level from the lineup. It’s also more expensive than its 2023 model year counterpart.

Ford will add a third shift over the summer at the Michigan Assembly plant, which should improve the inventory supply picture and potentially boost sales. Already, new Ford inventory overall is higher than average levels in the auto industry.

  • All percent change figures compared to Ford Bronco sales in Q4 2022, unless otherwise noted
  • In the United States, there were 78 selling days for Q4 2023 and 78 selling days for Q4 2022

  1. Maybe people would buy them if you allowed them to order them with the size engine they wanted instead of the wimpy ones you try to stick people with.

  3. I reside in NE Tennessee. One sees a lot of used Broncos (both flavors) on used car lots here. The local Hyundai dealer had three yesterday that I could see, and the Stellantis dealer had two.

    I wonder why?
