🗓️ Order bank for new 2023 Bronco orders will open on March 27 according to Ford

[Pkrpro19]

March 27th is the targeted date for new 2023 Bronco order banks opening up; that could change however.

The problem ford created is caving to whining Ford dealerships over allocations because smaller dealerships decided to not over charge on orders. Ford has been delivering stock broncos to bigger dealerships while neglecting the orders from smaller market dealers. You cannot go to a 60-70% order type business if you don’t ever plan on building the orders Ford. Geez…

THIS MAKES NO SENSE. They shut down folks that have been waiting and open up for more failure.

Also the early communications that heavily emphasized reservation timestamp were a huge mistake at best, blatantly deceptive at worst. Back in mid 2020 Ford was already well aware of both the reservation imbalance between different dealers and commodity shortages on the MIC tops at least.

Wildtrak is not the biggest issue. SAS is the biggest issue, and SAS is standard on Wildtrak.

I think it's spelled Goodyear

I think it’s the front locker tbh. Word is the wheels also. Tires seem to be extremely easy to get. I just bought 5 37s from
Discount tire. 3 business days

So why are Badlands not an issue.....

I wouldn’t say anything not listed isn’t an issue (like badlands), but if they removed the ability to spec SAS on all models it frees up the front locker for badlands. And can you imagine the internet and ford fanboys raising all hell of ford had no rubicon competitor? I think they’re restricting wildtrak instead of badlands for this exact reason. Despite what wildtrak owners think, badlands is the flagship non ford performance bronco. It’s what the first edition was based off of. No way they could restrict ordering it and by removing the ability to order SAS it saves the shocks and front lockers for badlands. It also gives a slightly smaller slap in the face to wildtrak owners that have to switch (although I never understood why Wildtraks owners specd a wildtrak to begin with, at least until HOSS 3.0 was announced. Non HOSS3.0 Wildtraks are one of life’s biggest mysteries to me lol)

I don't disagree with that analogy. Ford allowing sas on everything definitely causes dilution of parts availability.

It’s the Goodyears that’s the problem, other tires are available

I have no idea what is happening.

Neither does Ford.

I have a 2 door BL with LUX ordered; non Sasquatch. If I drop the LUX, am I eligible for the $2500 credit?

Don't do it

 

[Stick in the Mud]

Drove over to the local Jeep dealer today. He's got some nice Saharas on the lot. Getting an order together for a 392. Should be 3-4 months, MSRP, order banks are wide open. See ya.

 

[bravely]

Don't do it

Why?

 

[JimmyG]

Why?

you can do what you want to. I wouldn't "settle" for anything less than what you originally wanted. They tried to talk me out of a hard top, Lux and tow, but I said NO and rolled the dice. Granted the times were different than now. Ford is giving you the big middle finger.

Personally I'd just walk and look for one locally or nationally or buy the competitive product. I got way off track here though. The Lux package is worth it to me, but maybe you can live without? Just don't settle is all I suggest. Good luck man!
