Just got our 2024 Bronco Allocation numbers, ours looks to be about the same as 23 so that's good news.
I had concerns we might loose production with the new Ranger coming on line at the plant.
Hopefully dealers will end up with more since all Fords estimates account for planned some % of...
Still no order guides, but just got this from our zone rep:
"Wholesale is now open. Bronco allocations will have to be manually entered, so as soon as I get them I will, I will punch them in for you"
Since these will be 2023's so order guides must be coming soon. Now the big question, will...

Tried testing the softop vs the hardtop this morning, didn't go as planed, sun messed it up so nothing definitive, but warmup was the same for both. On cool down I was surprised how slow they were cooling, then softop ended up in the shade and cooled faster once that happened, black roofs with...
Just got our commodity list for the wholesale we're doing now, and Bronco is on it. I can't post it as I can understand Ford not wanting competitors to have it, but I can say its not as bad as I had thought.
The commodities that were mentioned before are all there, but the build % are higher...
Just got my allocation email from the region so dealers should be getting theirs today or next couple. Email still says "estimated" allocations, so I don't know if this means it can still change or if that's just to cover themselves if production gets reduced due to chip, covid or other issues...
Just got our email, 66.75% national conversion rate, KC region was at 76% and our zone at 82%. So now we wait to find out what this means for allocation.
Zone rep just sent out the 10 days to go on conversions email. Said nationally at 42% conversion rate right now. Not really useful info since that includes all reservations, not just the pre 9/18 ones that will affect allocations, and many dealers aren't converting post 9/18 reservations since...
Looked in WBDO today and I"ve got a new Bronco order with no name on it and its at an 02 Priority so the region submitted it. Below is what they ordered, I'm assuming we'll be allowed to make changes, but I haven't heard yet. WBDO won't let me change to a 4 door, but does let me change...
Our Ecommitment packet for this month (allocation), had a small note for Bronco
It was listed as "early trends", so could end up differently, but based on my orders I can see these options having issues and this warning coming true when scheduling starts.
Most Restricted commodities:
Wildtrak...
Just got an update from Ford, not much of interest, does explain the people gettin the wrong info on their emails, basically its just that the dealer changed the priority from 99 before updating the options.
But in other news:
If a customer misses the March 19th conversion deadline, what are...
More answers in today's dealer email.
If a customer converts an order based on the 21MY but gets pushed to 22MY, will they be able to resubmit or update an order for 22MY?
Yes. Orders can be updated until they are scheduled for production.
Should dealerships be converting as many Bronco...
I just got an email from my Zone manager with our allocation, I'm hoping its very wrong, but if its not we only got enough allocation to fill our 7/14 and 7/15 orders. I'm hoping its an error, but things could be about to get ugly.
Edit- Just talked to the zone rep, number was correct. He...
Ford had a dealer meeting today, It was one of those don't share info meetings, but I can say that looks like things are moving forward, no new delays from those already announced. Dealers are supposed to get more info today via email.
They also commented on commodity's being a problem and...
I posted earlier the email being sent to Bronco Sport customers when their order is scheduled, here's the next 2 in the chain, Built and after it is the shipped letter. Built letter was sent Tuesday 12/8 at 4:53pm, Shipped sent 12/10 at 3:50am.
I think Ford's got a pretty good plan for keeping...
Bronco Specialists & Dealer Principals,
We know customers are excited to get their new Bronco and we are committed to delivering a high-quality product as soon as we can. We are announcing soon a timing change driven by COVID 19 challenges that some of our suppliers are experiencing. The timing...
THIS IS A BRONCO SPORT, but I thought people would be interested in seeing how it will work when reservations are scheduled. Thursdays are scheduling day and here's a sold Bronco Sport order I have in. Below is my status I get from Ford, note it was assigned a VIN and build date at 9:05...
Just received an email that confirms what what posted here about being able to move until Jan 31. Stated that it now matches the order conversion end date (I'd only heard late Jan before, now it sounds like 31 is final day).
Other thing interesting is they stated that for allocation...
At work checking to see if my weekly orders were ready, they weren't so I did a video showing the actual Ford ordering system, I hoping it will clear up some of the reasons dealers say different things. There are really 3 different ordering "systems" regular, OTD, and the new reservation (which...
