165k Reservations might be the 2021 cut off and a tall order to fulfill.

With all things in life, patience is a virtue. Everything will work out in the end so you might as well just enjoy your life stress free until than.

I'm definitely trying ?

Hopefully sooner than later, I can understand your frustration.

I’m towards the back of the line, what with my aug 1 reservation. But that might mean I get to see real colors and actually sit in one before I get the call to come pick it up and bring a check. I’m OK with that.

So Spring is now June.... or is it by June?

By June is now the beginning of July. But July 2021 is now October 2023, because of a gap between the Gregorian and Positivist world calendars.

To be honest, the smart thing to look at in terms of timeline isn’t really production but company earnings reports. Ford is still a regular money making corp and they will set targets based on when it benefits shareholders. Not much more to it than that. Super cynical take, but I’ve worked at companies that needed to show growth and if that meant spreading sales out for sustained quarterly improvement then supply chain was managed.

Tim Cook at Apple became CEO for mastering sustainable sourcing meaning new products were mostly sold without staying on a shelf. No advantage at all for Ford to give everyone a Bronco on day one other than making us happy. Look to the car companies that increased their sales during COVID. They limited supply and ended up selling Kia Tellurides and RAV4s at over MSRP with an average of 2 days on lots!!! Probably the same strategy for Bronco.

If I have to wait till spring 2022 will my bronco be a 2022 year model or do have to eat 1 year of depreciation

This is a valid question and one I wondered myself.

I assume it will mostly depend on when they announce the next model will be available. I believe you are ordering the 2021 version regardless of when you receive it at least that’s what the paperwork will say. They must be confident in their delivery times. If it’s pushing your date to 2022 they should do more than rename it and just let you transfer the reservation to the latest version. But who knows?

If I were Ford and I had too many orders to fulfill in MY1. I would offer some additional colors like...oh green right now for a rollover of the reservation and a guarantee of first ones off the line in MY2.

If I have to wait until Sept for my Bronco..I can wait a few more months for something as silly as a better color and any small bugs worked out from MY1.

If Ford thinks I will order a 2021 Bronco and take delivery in 2022, I have some news for them.

This won't be a problem for Ford or Broncos for some time, but there's one thing I love - dealer leftovers. They're paying for that vehicle to be on that lot; old maids gotta go. That's how I managed to get a new zero miles 2017 Honda CB1100EX for $10K in 2020. MSRP $12K. I'd have no problems buying a new MY2021 Bronco in 2024. ... Unless there was a problem with MY2021 Broncos...

You wont see Broncos sitting on lots like that. Thats a guarantee.

So how do I determine which of those 165k I am? My reservation # is like 10,000,000 or so

I don't think there's any logical way to figure that out as of now. The registration numbers definitely seem squed and with some people canceling and never actually ordering the Bronco only time will tell how everything shakes out. I wouldn't put too much into your number.

awesome, thank you very much… I did only order a month ago, so I certainly do not expect to get mine anytime soon LOL
