If you were at a large superstore type dealer, I think you might actually have something with a dealer bending the ear of Ford. Kinda like the rumblings last fall where Ford changed and brought allocation into the mix, supposedly after dealers were whining.You're not wrong. I completely understand that my dealer had no say but if they want to sell vehicles they have to drive Ford to do the right thing.... I'm not saying me going off on them will accomplish anything (may make me feel a little better) but what do you do, just acquiesce to getting screwed? Not sure I have that in me.
So scare!!!! What will you do?7/13 @ 10:08

My sales guy told me they have one allocation set to scheduled this cycle. I don't think he knows how to find what order is under preview. It seems like they only have 1 computer that has WBDO at their location. When I went in for my order he had to go to someone else's office.
I still have some hope, but it's fading fast. It's a small dealer and they only have 5 total allocations with 2 FEs. I'm confident that my timestamp is 1st or 2nd in line but I have a really bad feeling a couple of base orders down the list could get scheduled due to commodity shortages and bump me out.
I think Ford mostly did everything right with the Bronco, up to the point of allocation limits (allocations 100% should have been based on orders and their timestamps) and this priority order bullshit. The people out there saying how those priority orders weren't a big deal don't really understand the situation. That X number high demand commodities used, added with my dealer's small allocation, could have very well pushed me out of a 21. Shit will not go down smooth if I am told I have to wait for a 22 with a 2 hour and 8 minute time stamp...
I saw a few people on here saying now even tow package could mean a delay?!? Hopefully, your keypad, roof rack and paint protection don't cause a delay, too!2-door Badlands, Squash, Lux, roof rack, Iconic Silver, 2.7, Paint protection, Keypad, Tow pkg., priority 10 Make My Day!!!
Did u try to order for 2hr and 8 min or did I just happen to log right on and order? I regret not trying longer.7/13 @ 10:08

Yes, complaining because you think a certain build should be first would make you Karen. Owning a Porsche almost automatically makes you a Karen because most wealthy people are entitled (I probably shouldn't generalize but hey I'm not perfect...).Waiting for upset entitled Karens and Kens listing their 7/13 timestamp and loaded specs and crying why ‘later and lesser people’ are getting emails and how their summer and life is ruined because of ‘lesser’ brand like Ford not handling it well like their $200K Porsche order.
