1st time post - new dealer info to share

[Sasquobx]

I spoke with my dealer today to see if there’s any movement on their current orders and allocation numbers. Bad news for me was no change but also was told Ford is asking him to add stock orders without any upgrades. He added 7 so far to his orders. Looks like dealers may be getting a bunch of basic Broncos to add to their inventory for sale. Bad news for us because it means Ford will be filling more if they’re production queue with vehicles we won’t get. May push us even farther back. Any one else heard this?

Yes, dealers have been told that if constraints keep them from filling reservation orders, their allocation will be filled with retail orders if those orders are not constrained.
Large dealers with a lot of reservation orders will probably not get many retail orders as there should be enough reservation orders to fill.

If your order is constrained, they aren't building it regardless of what they build before it. MAP will build with the parts they have.

as long as scheduling isn't cancelled this coming week, if someone is considering a soft top or downgrading equipment, do it by Tomorrow...

also...Ford plans on giving dealers 17,000 base (101A) vehicles for August wholesale...101A has less microchips from what im being told...if you are considering a downgrade to a lower trim, here is your opportunity to timestamp jump...

2021

• EcoSport – Unscheduled allocation in Week 26

August will be the first month of "full production" and dealer stock orders will be the beneficiary while customer orders languish awaiting "constrained parts"....

 

[Ranger6G]

Yes 20000 Base and Big Bend dealer stocks in August

 

[WyoBronc]

There was a much anticipated letter from Ford a over a month ago that stated this was going to happen.

Yes 20000 Base and Big Bend dealer stocks in August

But probably not many if any 2-door base, due to hardtop?

My local dealer received 8 base stock builds and already have them all claimed (sold).

While it hurt to see dealers stock before I even get a sniff of a build date I do understand Fords position. Ford can't just sit back, and not utilize readily available profits. The Board of Directors, and the stock holders would have someone's nuts in a vise if they just ignored the chance of making money.

The only people I could see that would be upset by seeing this news are the reservation holders who have base Broncos on order with no build dates. Ford said they'd build reservation customers first, way back when and well they won't be doing that if they follow through on this. At least from the point of view I'm looking at it from.

I feel bad for the Base Bronco buyer through all this, I feel like they're being strung along for no apparent reason.

edit: If your dealer has reservations for Base Broncos and those reservation holders don't get them, that's a damn shame. It would directly be why people are getting pissed off too.

This news is old.

But are we talking about base 2-doors or base 4-doors? That is a key distinction, due to the fact a 2-door must have a hardtop (which is a limited available component).

So I am wondering when people say base units will show up as stock, do they mean only base 4-door soft tops?

True. I didn't really think of that aspect. It is a big factor for sure. We've had plenty of time and communication to switch a 4dr hardtop to a soft top to fill the order too. It's really on the consumer to reach out, but if dealers aren't forthcoming with making the changes, then if those dealers hold that change back to get dealer stock.... YIKES... that could be a bad situation.

Glad I'm not in it. Patiently waiting for MY22 and watching from the sidelines.

(I think it was) Tom said only four door codes were available to order.
