Allocation/Reservation Summary and "Real" World Example

You got me...where's the burn thingie everyone likes to post?Mwuahahha! He just like to call out @Granger Ford any chance he gets. Perks of hiding behind a keyboard
So your saying.....Ford will not cover all orders ?..... Ford would be thrilled to hear that YOU started that rumor.....you should go ahead and use Granger's name in your postings as we know who has got your panties in a wad....Granger will be just fine and Ford will be interested to hear that YOU said they would be ditching orders....even though they are still taking reservations....what is your dealer number again ?
So you do not think that Ford is going to allocate all of their production capacity to reservations? Because that is the only way your constant pot stirring scenario comes to fruition.
Edit. Looks like us no bulls**t Texans think alike @tonyxit

I didn't start the rumor. Ford told us that in an email just this week.
May be able to cover them eventually. Eventually being the key word. I'm not upset with anyone or any dealer. Why would I be?
Man, I don't know you from Adam. If I could post the email the Ford Regional manager sent us yesterday, I would. Then I think you'd believe some of what I say. I'm simply hoping people have realistic expectations and based on things I read here, they don't.
I don't care about any dealers on here. They're not a threat to me and I'm not a threat to them.
Kris, you’d have a lot more credibility/ respect if you just said who you were and the dealer you work for.
I mean it’s not like Atkins Ford is #8 in the nation or you went to UGA or anything
I don't think it has any relevance because I've made no offers and have no business dealings(to my knowledge) with anyone here. Not like everyone can tell every single member's real identity behind their forum ID either. And from what I can tell by the vindictive nature and hate on this forum, it seems like I'd just be opening myself and my dealership up to all kinds of mess. I deal with enough people on the internet threatening things all the time. I don't enjoy that.Kris, you’d have a lot more credibility/ respect if you just said who you were and the dealer you work for.

And for the record, I've shared plenty of facts here hoping to help people make informed decisions. If that's not good enough, then sorry bud.

I don't think anyone has said that they would be ditching orders. It's this type of confusion this post was trying to resolve. I believe the point was some orders placed at smaller dealerships could take longer than other later orders at bigger dealerships based on the "allocation process" for bronco orders.
This falls inline with even posts i have seen by other dealers, can we all chill and relax a little on this topic. I think people are aware its going to take awhile to get their trucks and just want to know how its going to work. Info is Info no matter where it is coming from.

We all can do the math of reservations vs production capacity and determine that all orders won't get built this year. Ford has even stated as such. However, you seem to think it's cute to vaguely post how not everyone will be getting their Bronco and tie into dealerships with lots of reservations and on and on and on. It's tiresome and people are sick of it.
I think the credibility ship has long since sailed.
No worries. Get back to me after allocation comes out and see if I was wrong. I'm fine being the bad guy until then.

I think there may be some legal ramifications for a dealer sharing too much info. Even granger has had posts taken down at request from ford if i am not mistaken
You never answered my question:

Hiding info that important is what gives many dealers the bad reputation they deserve. It seems pretty obvious after multiple threads on this subject that those that manage to get into the lower 50% are fairly safe. Many of the remainder won't get there's until multiple allocations have happened and that could be quite a wait if it's not a large dealer.
