We’re one of the lucky ones. Guess our unwillingness to compromise on what we wanted (no soft top) and the fact that we were the first overall Bronco reservation (4D Wildtrak) at our dealership paid off.

like everyone else, we’ve been frustrated with the process and pace. But Ford did do the right thing by prioritizing existing reservations. I doubt the Bronco Raptor production will have much effect on the pace of other Broncos… but, only time will tell.

Imagine getting selected, getting excited, and your f'd up dealer tells you that he's going to grape you for an additional $40k - just because he can...

That's just evil.

I think the first round of selections will be a bit better, but after that (2nd) the gloves are off and Ford will let the dealers send it to the moon.

Because allocation > reservation.

My Dealer is horrible about communication. I've debated contacting them on my Raptor allocation and would really like to hear from them for once. They are a mid sized dealership and I suspect they only have a few allocations. Salesman is OK but knows nothing about Broncos, the reservation/allocation/scheduling process. They get upset if I contact the fleet manager directly (who's in charge of Broncos at that dealership). I don't think they will pull the ADM, my Badlands was MSRP and I know the FE's they sold were MSRP. What are the benefits of contacting dealer now or waiting a few weeks until near ordering time and perhaps they will actually contact me.

If you are interested in the Raptor I wouldn’t hesitate to let them know. Other interested parties probably are and I wouldn’t wait

Do not wait! If you are within driving distance, I would handle this face-to-face.

Hi all, so i got the email, i never converted my reservation to order. I called my dealer and they said there will be a second email later on to come in to order. Is that true? Or should i get something done asap?

That is true. Did they acknowledge that you were on the list that Ford emailed them?

i guess i need to call to make sure they have that information! I'm in NYC, so i don't know if the dealer i selected close by will pull anything funny!

If you have a communicable dealer, it should be easy to verify. The challenge is, the salesperson will not have access to that info and will need to get it from a manager.

Because allocation > reservation.

Then why do the reservation at all?

Golden ticket holder here, just got off the phone with my dealer, asking if I would get my BRaptor at MSRP (given that my existing BL order is MSRP already). They stated they will not know their allocations until March, so until then they don't know if there will be ADM. So I have to wait until then for an answer. Meanwhile, my build is on pause with a 99 code I guess. I don't have a good feeling in my gut.

I called Ford's Bronco customer service line today. The woman I spoke with said that golden ticket holders are going to get price protection just like cancelled MY 21 orders recieved for MY 22 orders.

She also said Ford is very aware of dealers planning ADM but it won't affect golden ticket holders, only those buying from standard dealer allocation. Golden ticket holder orders do not come out of dealer allocation. Standard allocation, dealers can do whatever they want with ADM.

She went even further and said if a dealer refuses to sell to a golden ticket holder because someone made a high offer over MSRP, they would be penalized by Ford.

She said the dealers will get emails about this some time before order banks open.

We'll see
