2022 model year "Balance Out" date is November 10. Then switchover to 2023 model year

Not sure how we'd ever figure this out, but would be interesting to know how many MY22 orders still need built. Seems like Ford is building around 5,000 per week right now (just a guess based on some of the 'build week' posts), so if we say there's 32 weeks until Nov 10, that would mean they could build 160,000 by then. Think there's more than 160,000 left to build?

there are monthly production and sales reports that have been posted and the monthly production rate seems to be in the 8,000 to 12,000 neighborhood

There is so much BS going on....it would not surprise me either. It's damn time Ford prioritized the customer...specifically the early reservation order holders as #1 priority to get completed.

I think that’s a big part of the problem, Ford’s customer is the dealer. We are the consumer.

I didn’t know ford wasn’t making roughly 5000 units per week. Holy smokes! You would think no one would be waiting long at that rate

It's more like 10-15 thousand a month.

What does that mean, balance out? Like build times will normalize?

No, that means those of us waiting for a 2022 get a 2023 and those of you waiting for a 2023 get a 2024 and so on and so on

we have yet to receive a stock bronco unit other than 3 demos. Out of the 40or so broncos we have sold, every single one was ordered by a customer. If the customer no longer wants it, we then offered it to the public. So not sure what dealers are getting stock broncos but it definitely is not happening in our region.

There will come a point sometime in the next year where Ford WILL build and ship stock Broncos while reservation holders at dealers with small allocations are waiting without builds. They are not going to change the allocation numbers for us at Granger (or other dealers) and bigger dealers will run out of reservation holders and need Broncos to sell on the lot. Ford will absolutely take the bad press for breaking it’s promise to build for reservation holders first. Profit over promise, there is no integrity at companies like Ford. If you are low on a dealer allocation list Ford will eventually just cancel those reservations and just tell those people to find one a lot. Reservations will mean nothing once Ford starts building for dealer lots. They will fill lot allocations at large dealers before honoring any left over reservations.

I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised at the March numbers. At least I hope you are! I think it'll be 15k+ based on the daily production numbers on window stickers provided in the March weekly build posts. January had almost 13k, so 15k+ isn't much of a stretch. Can they keep that up through October? Who knows. I know we'd all be happy if they could!

This still won’t matter for anybody at a dealer with low allocations and a lot a people on their list. Ford will not increase those allocations to get reservation holders their Broncos any faster. It will only make the date they start building stock Broncos for lot sales come earlier. There will be thousands of reservation holders that will not get builds prior to dealers getting lot builds. There is no way reservation builds can be built first based on the current allocation system. I have said it multiple times on this site, Ford does not care about customer loyalty or bad press. Money talks, reservation holders walk.

For those of us that had to go from a 2021 to a 2022 order back in October has anyone heard a number of non reservation broncos that were ordered.

Nobody wants to talk about the thousands of people that walked in and got a bronco in a couple months. That’s taboo. It’s what i should have done when they were still taking orders

They built 10K Broncos in March per MIke Levine on Twitter.

I fully expect to get a nice big ADM on my rig when I go to pick it up and will have to walk away and order another EV. My dealer is one of those big ones that throws ADM on everything on the lot. The told me MSRP but probably not gonna happen. Could have gone to a better dealer but then I get the allocation kick in the ass and would not have got scheduled in 3 months with no Reservation.

Assuming I get my rig next month and they do hit me with the ADM I will walk and just order another MachE from a more trustworthy dealer and still get it before the $7500 tax rebate ends. So goes my plan.

Best of luck to you. Hope everything goes ok and you get your bronco. Keep us updated.

Ha! Wonder if we’ll have new colors to choose from for 23?!?!?

I sure hope they keep Area 51, otherwise the wife may cancel. She loves that color. She may opt for the Eruption Green though. Such a cool color.
