I ask reception for a Salesman who is a Bronco "expert". What I should do do about my reservation because I have an FE ordered and want to wait until at least '22 to decide about my other reservation. The expert says, "I don't know, let me find someone for you". Ok, not a joke, bad joke.
I then get the real expert, a very nice gentleman that owned a dealership and sold it to retire, but loved Ford so much he came back to become a General Manager, which I think is pretty cool. Anyways, he said he met with a Ford Rep. the day before and I got a couple of tidbits of note that are in conflict to what Levine has said.
1) He said that if you have a reservation and you don't convert it, it will just sit there until you do. You don't lose it, you don't lose your spot, it's business as usual so that when you are ready you can hop into your place in line. So, he recommended doing nothing with my reservation for now-no Priority 99, etc..
2) He also was told that if you are part of one of the "deadly 6 sins" (2.7, Sasquatch, manual, 2-door, anything but MIC, etc..) that in no way are you going to get a '21 Bronco, everything will be pushed to '22. What pissed me off is that he stated that's even the FEs, they will be produced during the '22 cycle but will still be called a '21. He stated the orders will be batched by type and more than likely it will be the bottom tiers-Base, Big Bend & Black Diamond first as long as they do not fall into any categories above. This is based on what Ford is telling him regarding production issues, etc..
