I would almost bet now that this seems to be cleared up (fingers crossed), most that want a '21 can get a '21 because of those of us '22ers willing to wait. Hope it works out for everyone

In the very least it allows for people with an early reservation who want to wait, to get out of the way of people who want a Bronco soon but found themselves with a later reservation.

Seems like a positive development all around.

Hell, maybe the number of MY21 reservations left will drop below production capacity and Ford will even be able to make MY21 dealer stock units.

Yes. You can change anything on your build.

Hey now.... don't kid about that!! LOL

Why good luck?.

Dealer can submit in any order and it doesn't matter. Ford will reshuffle.

If you have a good relationship with your dealer I’m sure that’s fine. But you better make sure cause it’s kind of like the situation where they call you to come in and they go to the next person on the list.

Dealers should be able to put in or take more orders than allocations, with the condition being you’re not guaranteed a spot. Then on 3/19 they figure out who’s orders actually get put in based on the reservation time stamps. This also let people change dealers and put in orders all the way up until 3/19. Some people will get bumped, but that seems to follow the “rules”.

This is the thread I've been waiting for! Perfect. Thank you!

I still haven't 100% decided on waiting, but I'm having trouble deciding on my exact build, and it's great to know the order details for 2022 models will be out in the summer. I might just sit and wait to see what new goodies come out later in the year. (I'd just be waiting for my black modular top and my 2.7 anyway.)

"We recommend you capture their decision and let them know their reservation timestamp carries over to 22MY and you will contact them when the 22MY order bank opens. Details on 22MY ordering will be available this summer."

I am in the same boat. I can’t decide. I would want to put in an 21MY order, with some late availability items and then when the 22MY info comes out decided to either stick with the 21MY or move it to 22MY. This would also give some time to actually sit and maybe drive one before putting down $60K for a ride.

Will the MY22 bronco have any bugs or glitches fixed? It seems unlikely as they are just cutting over on certain date because of high demand?

 

[Jrsmail]

What are the MY22 options?

 

[Smheard]

So with FE reservations, is there a list of options that will delay delivery besides the modular top?

You're explaining exactly what dealers will need to do:

• Is there any benefit to converting a reservation to order earlier within the Jan 20th – Mar 19th period?
  • No. The customer’s reservation time stamp will stay attached to the order. The time stamp will help determine build priority. Converting a reservation earlier will not impact production timing.

• Should dealerships be converting as many Bronco reservations as they can during the conversion window?
  • Yes, except for those customers who want a 22MY Bronco. Converting will allow us to provide those customers with an estimated delivery window in May.

Black Interior and Modular Top, from what I've read

The black interior is a must in my opinion and kinda pisses me off that it will result in a delay.

@XCR440 thank you for the info, if we defer our order to MY22 will we be able to change dealers after the MY22 order banks open?

There are already some dealers telling people if they switch over they will not be put in with this 1st allocation.

So happy it will be leaseable!

This video has his take on ordering. Not much really new. He did take a swipe at a well known dealer.

I think he did a good job. Sometimes the spoken word helps me a lot more than any written word. He did clear up a few things in my old worn out mind for sure.
