Unscheduled as of now per chat.

But since we have only seen through 6/13 announced on here.... could we make the case that as a whole there are more weeks to be scheduled later???

Holding out hope.....

This is frustrating. I've been holding my reservation since July 21, 2020, ordered Feb 2, 2021 and reorder Oct 14, 2021.

I know someone at my dealership who did a walk in order in November of 2021 and is already driving their bronco as of March. They have a v6, with tow, Lux, softtop WildTrack and mine is a Badlands, High package, no tow, v6, Saquatch, softtop (recently changed to fast track my truck).

Given the strong similiarities in constraints I think this information proves without a doubt that reservation holders are being deprioritized for whatever reason and I'm beyond frustrated to not have gotten a builddate giving up that MIC.

Also what the hell does this even mean?

"It looks like your order is still processing and there is no ETA on when production will begin. However, it has been given the clear to start production when the next production week becomes available."

Just got off of Ford Chat and I was able to get a VIN but when I went to check on the link provided, I see this. If I have a VIN, does that mean I'm scheduled for production, I didn't have the chance to ask. I don't have a reservation number, so the backdoor link doesn't work for me.

9/2020 res holder. I reached out to Ford Chat who told me that there was a "important update" tied to my account, but with no other information that they could share with me. They told me that my dealership should know what this is about and to reach out to them. Unfortunately, the Bronco Manager at my dealership is off today. I truly hope that "important update" isn't related to dealer negligence - "oh, shit man...I forgot to pull you out of the 99 hold - my bad".

Just checked my order sheet for the first time since October (I've had a lot going on) and it says priority code 99.

I received a production date (06/06/22) and VIN number today. Can't believe this is actually happening. Check the back link.

Where do you see the VIN at? I'm checking the backdoor link and I don't see mine but I did get a production date.

First off, congratulations to everyone that is getting scheduled, it’s obviously a long time coming. I do have a quick question for anyone in the know. I just called Ford and they said that my order is in processing. The other times that I have called I have just been told that my order was accepted. Unfortunately I could barely understand the lady on the phone and did not ask further questions. Can anyone shed some light on what order processing is?

 

[Usdmmark]

Yes it is! Fingers crossed.

Holy Crap! I just got scheduled!

thank you so much...I'm one of the vocal big mouths here since shortly after reveal. I think it's the dog pic though, lol.

Same, I always see the dog and I've been hoping you'd get yours soon! So happy for you! Hope I get lucky too

My most recent order sheet has me listed as a priority code 19 - so I think I'm good, but you really never know do you. Sorry to hear that you forgot to make the switch. I can only imagen how frustrated you are. Hang in there.

It's a more diplomatic way of saying absolutely nothing is occurring with your order.

I messaged my dealer. We'll see what they have to say.

"It looks like your order is still processing and there is no ETA on when production will begin. However, it has been given the clear to start production when the next production week becomes available."

So my best guess is that these old orders they leave unscheduled as a way to dangle the carrot in front of dealers. Their allocation formula is a way of pressuring dealers to sell less popular vehicles, and the reward is additional bronco allocations. I think the added bonus here is having frustrated res holders to come at the dealer as well pressuring them to sell these vehicles to get more allocations and get customers off their backs. For Ford this results in a spike in unpopular vehicle sales, while at the same time they build base broncos from walk in orders for raw production number value to also look good. Leaves res holders in a purgatory of sorts being used by ford in their strategy to motivate dealers and make executives look competent. All they have to sacrifice with this strategy is bad PR, but they are willing to concede that as they can hide behind global supply constraints as the oversimplified excuse.

Lol I figured. Thank you for the reply.
