06-26-21 Granger Ford Update

[Zach@Granger]

Thank you @Zach@Granger. Do we have to request to add the hard top prep kit if we were already a soft top order?

In the Ford email they said anything produced in September or later will automatically come with the prep kit.

This is great! What about 2 doors? I don't require a hardtop.

There isn't a good 2 door solution outside of waiting for your turn with the MIC

Thank you Zach for the update! Really appreciate the clarity and communication from the Granger Team during Fords shell game. Holding on to that WT w/MIC here....see ya when I see ya!!

 

[Zach@Granger]

So if I have a VIN and a build-date of 08/02, do I need to change over to a soft-top to increase my chances of getting the Bronco soon? And if I do change over to a soft-top, do I have to wait to September to get the retro-fit kit installed? My original build-date was 06/21 to 07/12 to 08/02. My order is with Granger!

If you have a VIN, don't worry about anything. You are set.

All dealers should take a page from your book. Great communication all around from Granger. Someone already said it but you all are the real rockstars.
I’ll wait for the HE but oh man is it going to be a tough year+ to do so.

@Zach@Granger, can you provide any updates on the following topics?

• Update on 21MY allocation (e.g., increase, decrease, no change)
• No. of Granger’s scheduled builds/VINs to date
• % of your 21MY allocation already scheduled
• Recap of the 4-week scheduling cycle for Week 1 (FE), Week 2 (Non-FE), Weeks 3 and 4 (Clean-up), with actual dates to help manage expectations

Sad that the only way to get a Bronco is to buy one you don’t want. Thanks for the update.

Sure there is. I take delivery sans top and have a custom soft top made. Cost more money, but then I become a happier Bronco buyer.

• I haven't heard anything official to lead me to believe that allocation has changed for the 2021 model year.
• We have 71 total Broncos scheduled. The statuses range from in-transit for 1 First Edition and 1 mannequin unit to the latest which is scheduled to the week of August 23rd. That is about 1/3rd of our total allocation scheduled thus far.
• The 4 week scheduling cycle for us has been kinda boring. I think this is partly because we have such a large pool of orders to pick from. The FE orders are in week 1, then we scheduled our non-FEs in week 2, then take a couple weeks off. This cycle has been completed 2 times for us and then it has been pushed back this month with the production delays. I'm assuming it ramps back up next week for the FEs but that is just speculation.

You'll have to find someone with more pull at Ford than me to get that through.

I dont think these guys have advertised on this forum for it, but check out GrangerMotors.com and Grangerford.com. As mentioned, they have Jeeps, Rams, Fords etc. I had to google map it but both buildings are located right next to each other, so you can test drive an F150 and a Ram in the same parking lot. How cool is that!!!

Zach,

Thanks for the update. I shot Sean an email as well regarding my converted reservation and the pricing protection since it appears my reservation was converted as originally set up but not as the build and price sheet submitted with the approval to convert. It would be good to understand how this will be handled.
