- Ford's intent is to try and build almost all of the MY22 orders by the end of this calendar year, barring unavoidable supply chain hold ups for parts.
- They do not want to roll over a bunch of orders to MY23.

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate that the customer service rep you spoke with has a job to do, but I find it difficult to put too much hope into the veracity of what they may have had said to you. Through the fall of 2020 and into spring of 2021, Ford inundated my email with updates from The Ford Bronco Team. Since then, they've basically ghosted me. Then I received one follow-up email last October and they stated that since my MY21 order had to be converted to MY22, it would be prioritized ahead of other MY22 walk in orders and dealer stock. As of today, I still have yet to receive any updates. Well, I'm just not feeling the priority from Ford.Just chatted with the customer service line (phone, not chat) and spoke with a rep that was eager to be helpful – I want to share with everyone the updates I got from them today.
Most of this is old news but some of these tidbits might be helpful for newer people on the board. Take this all with a grain of salt, but here is what I was told:
Again, most of that is status quo from what we already knew/assumed. But at least it's another datapoint for us.
- Ford's intent is to try and build almost all of the MY22 orders by the end of this calendar year, barring unavoidable supply chain hold ups for parts.
- They do not want to roll over a bunch of orders to MY23.
- Scheduling for future build weeks is happening every 2-3 weeks.
- MY22's will continue to be scheduled for build weeks through Nov/Dec.
- Current orders that get rolled over to MY23 will be ahead in line over new MY23 orders placed after the order banks open, even if they get rolled over after the new orders start coming in.
- Wildtrak trim and Tow Pkg are two biggest constraints right now - Badlands and OBX are not constrained. Did not mention SAS Pkg, unknown if its constrained or not.
- Priority Code really only matters if a dealer has similar builds to yours and they want to put yours ahead.
Yep. I agree. It happened with the 22's and it will with the 23's.I’ll believe this happens when Ford actually delivers on it. We’ve seen this show before with Ford and their deadline “intentions”.
Mark it. There WILL be 23’s delivered before the 22’s are all cleared out. There WILL be newly ordered 23’s delivered before all 22 models are cleared out, and there likely WILL be 23’s delivered before a good amount of 21’s who are still waiting.
For everyone’s sake, I hope you’re right OP, but considering the amount of manure that Ford has spread in the past, I’m expecting more to continue.
Yeah... I don't think you can 99 your order AFTER getting scheduled/getting a VIN. You're locked in at that point, I believe.I placed my order 7.21.21, reordered in Oct. So, it's coming up on my 1 year anniversary of waiting. I'm trying to decide if I get scheduled, do I go ahead or 99 it and wait to see what 23MY has to offer? Then hope I have it by winter.
I don't have a VIN. Wondering if I should 99 and wait and see. I'm curious as to what colors will be out for 23MYYeah... I don't think you can 99 your order AFTER getting scheduled/getting a VIN. You're locked in at that point, I believe.
Lol, that's not how it works. Job1 for MY23 doesn't start until all MY22's have rolled off the line.If they schedule/ build my 22 after Job 1 in mid-November for 23s- I'm going to be super pissed.
Wildtrak wheels are unique to the Wildtrak though. They aren't the same as any other model's Sasquatch wheels... except the FE. FE and Wildtrak have the blacked out beadlock capable wheel.The Sasquatch package is currently constrained until the wheel availability situation is improved, which is why they stated Wildtrak as being constrained. The lock-downs in China are the reason for the low supply of Sasquatch/Wildtrak wheels.
