Here are the remaining pages of the sales report, including inventory and production data.Bronco Production: [data not yet published].
Stickers, constraints, allocations, etc? Again, what do our eyes see... They have built 115K+ trucks this year alone if the above post is accurate. There are still too many rez holders that don't have a truck. There are (in my area anyway) trucks in stock regularly. Not all are top of the line but there are many nicely appointed models coming in regularly- lux, 2.7, SAS, etc illustrating that commodities are not the thing. The rarest thing I see is 2DR, but current there is a 2DR WT on the lot across from my job. This is situation is manufactured by FORD. This is piss poor customer service. Are these reservations or dealer stock? It doesn't matter. Clear these orders. Honor your reservation holders. It's been well over 2 years.Oh, but it does bro. There aren't many "dealer allocations" around. I have seen one blue window sticker and it was here on the forum. Do you know the difference in sticker colors or do you think that doesn't matter either?

I saw a Bronco this last week in Prague, Czech Republic near one of the more swanky shopping districts. I should have taken a pic. It looked to be a 4 door Badlands with a very nice wrap and matching fender flares. Mind you, this was parked among Bentleys, Audis and the occasional Porsche. I had to shake my head and laugh. I'm sure the owner spent as much getting that Bronco to Europe and customizing it as they would have on a Porsche.More interestingly would be how many exported vs how many sold in the US domestic market.
I saw something a month ago that about 5,000 total had made it up here to CanadaFord will make about 140,000 Broncos in 2022. Iโm not sure how many of these are being shipped to other countries but likely not more than 10-15k. Jeep sells about 210,000 Wranglers each year in the U.S. and if we assume the Bronco has similar demand, the supply/demand curve will be out of balance for at least another couple years. Iโm not sure how many Broncos can produce in 2023 but supply constraints are clearly still with us.
May I ask all of you 2+ years of waiting folks a few questions.
What number, in line, at the dealer are you?
Did you order through Stephens Auto Center, Granger, etc.?
When did you actually order, not reserve?
When did you re-order for MY22?
Did you ever"99" your order?
That would help the rest of us determine a response to you and also learn what not to do or steer clear of.
Thank you in advance.
Most definitely man. My dealer added 7 months to my 11 month wait, just because how they wanted to conduct business.Day 3 reservation, AND had a MY21 allocation from my dealership which had ~25 allocations.
Still waiting for a VIN.
The part that frustrates me the most is that you could have such an early reservation date, AND have won the "golden ticket" of a MY21 allocation yet still be here over 800 days later without a VIN.
If they weren't going to follow reservation order (which absolutely makes sense given material shortages), you would at least think if they had given you an allocation that you might get a unit built for you the following model year.
Once it became apparent that not even that was going to happen, I stopped caring about anything Ford said to their customers.
If dealerships hadn't absolutely game this system out from under the reservation process I'd be more pissed at Ford. But the dealerships should take the blame for this.
BTW: Badlands, 2-door, 2.3/MT, high pack, zero other options. Nothing special here that hasn't been made 5,000+ times in MY22.
