Not sure you can count a Bronco as "produced" if it is sitting/waiting for a chip for 4 months. The logistics department is a clown show.

Even so, he has been treated unfairly by a system that has always had a bias towards allocation over reservation.You ordered a Badlands, Sas, Lux MIC ALL of those options are delayed. As i said.
ford isnt going to cut production to 4000 just so they can build all the higher trim packages first they are going to build what they can.
Agree 100% but I understand why dealer allocation comes first. Because otherwise dealers would be waiting months on end for broncos cutting into their sales.Even so, he has been treated unfairly by a system that has always had a bias towards allocation over reservation.
That's precisely how I ended up getting a 2021 2 door OBX 2.7 adv4x4 MIC,TOW,LUX built in Aug 2021 (despite the extended stay on Dirt Mountain until Nov 2021).
It wasn't fair that the MAS allocations were built ahead of people who had reserved a year or more before me (MAS didn't even allow me to order a Bronco until Apr 2021). I have said that before... Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to even get a Bronco.
So I get why he's pissed off, because the reservation has never really meant anything more than your place in line at a particular dealer.
It sure would be nice if dealerships could no longer take orders once allocations have been met. This would have eliminated customers from waiting forever. A simple, "we are out of stock/allotted orders for the year". The whole system is organized chaos and shameful from Ford. Hopefully, lessons will be learned. Money is the only true motivator and Ford is currently on a short term role with products. A few years from now, we (customers) will not forget our experiences through this process when they are back to offering less exciting products. Ford's system is stacked against the little man (small dealerships) and keeps them down. Thats why they shouldn't have been allowed to overtake orders in the first place. If Ford would have just been up front, most of us wouldn't be stuck waiting forever for our order from our local small dealership. I would have just gone to a larger dealership and paid MSRP before waiting 2 years.2021
~120,000 reservation orders (estimated)
~55,000 produced in 21 (actual)
~35,000 non res orders (actual)
~100,000 to build going in to January
100,000 / 13,000 = 7.5 months assuming no new orders
2022
~13,000 produced (actual)
~8,000 new orders (actual)
New Feb estimated Balance 100,000 - 5,000 = 95,000 orders to build or 7.3 months.
Remember this is total back log if new orders = production this is the total amount of time to clear all orders. If new orders < current production like in Jan 22 it will just adjust down total backlog.
This doesn’t mean everyone will have a bronco in this timeframe. That will all depend on your build and dealer allocation. This is just a estimated calculation of the total backlog and how it may help define a potential delivery timeline. If your with a dealer that oversold based on the allocations they get it could be a longer wait. Example 150 orders and 10 allocations could mean it could take 15 months to fill that dealers orders.
WELL DONE! This is logic I can at least follow.2021

I ordered mine last month (Base SAS, softie) and not expecting the vehicle anytime this year. I went through one of the smaller dealers due to mark ups at the big dealerships. Waiting patiently…Just spoke to a Ford rep. Anyone who ordered this year (January) should expect a wait of 6 months to a year. Just reconfirming what we already know.
The problem is which options you specified. I will bet that most are non-Sasquatch, no trailer pkg, no hardtop.It's nuts they can build 13k in a month yet many of us that reserved the first few hours have no clue when our orders will even be looked at.
wrong. I have seen quite a few non res walk ins get 2 doors Sasquatch, tow, lux etc.The problem is which options you specified. I will bet that most are non-Sasquatch, no trailer pkg, no hardtop.
