2021 Bronco final allocation numbers going to dealers

[XCR440]

Just got my allocation email from the region so dealers should be getting theirs today or next couple. Email still says "estimated" allocations, so I don't know if this means it can still change or if that's just to cover themselves if production gets reduced due to chip, covid or other issues.

EDIT-zone rep said this was final allocation, so "estimated" was just a CYA Ford put in.

@XCR440 So, dealers should be able to confidently say whether we're in the first wave of production/deliveries?

So, what was your percentage increase/decrease?

No, dealers will now know how many they're getting, but with the new top wrinkle, we don't know where you might be in line until those with the optional tops change or delay to 22.

Also not sure by what you mean by first wave, this will be just for 21 MY, we don't know how allocation will be broken down, I believe we'll be scheduling quarterly, but there will only be 2 quarters for 21. So allocation could be 50/50 or it could be based on other issues (commodities on your orders, etc)

Also give dealers a couple days, some might not have the emails yet.

Yeah, what was change between before and now? My dealership said 50... I was/am number 50... so if it goes DOWN, I'm SOL and super sad/mad.

Don't you think its a bit strange they didn't wait until after April 8th to provide "final" allocation numbers? I guess the top issues could push people back in line and move other people up in line and the allocation number is what it is?

And? Increase or decrease

 

[UNBROKN]

And? Increase or decrease

I am betting decrease since there are lots of delays on everything at this point...
I am number 4 at my dealer and there are 3 allocations.

We increased slightly, had 100% conversion (pre 9/18 reservations), looks like we got 40% covered now vs 30% originally.

Sad part is not factoring in the tops since I don't know what customers are going to do, we only get to 7/15 reservations. If I'm right on the ones that will wait for the top we'll get to 7/17, so still not very far.

25% increase. Nice job.

Are you a contact or select dealer?
