How many outstanding orders did Ford say they have across the board? Hard to make any decision not knowing how big their backlog is.

You obviously can believe what you'd like, but based on when you joined this forum, it appears you don't have a complete and accurate understanding of the situation and timeline. Perhaps you are aware of what Ford told people over two years ago and how that differs from what Ford is doing now. Either way, none of us are looking for sympathy. We are looking for Ford to honor what they promised two years ago. That seems like a reasonable request from someone that lives in Wisconsin.By not catering to people who, while living in Wisconsin, buy from a small dealer in BFE to try and save an extra buck. How dare Ford not ship all of its Broncos to BFE!!
Granger seems to be a great dealership and more power to them. But I have zero sympathy for people who tried to cut corners here, and are now mad at Ford for not prioritizing small dealerships.
That is a good question. If you have two different private offers, I would sure think you can use them both.I have a related but unrelated question. I am trying to decide what to do with a second order I have through you guys because my first one through you finally has a build week. Because I have two orders, I have two Private Offers. Will I be able to use the second (and lower valued) P.O. on my second build? In other words, Can one person use two P.O.s if they have two different Broncos being bought? Thanks!
That is correct. Yes.If i had 4 dr BD Sas and MIC top, can i move to Badlands, softop, no Sas, high pkg and get the $2500?
Yes, you are correct.I understand the example you gave. If I'm reading betweens the lines correctly, they list a MIC top as one of the required options to qualify for the $2500 incentive but only for 4-doors? Meaning 2-doors are "safe"? I.e. can't switch out of a MIC top because there's no option to obviously
For the record I wish they listed a 2door soft top!
I reserved in 2020. You would've gotten your Bronco long ago if you hadn't tried to game the system. Sorry. Opinions differ, I guess.You obviously can believe what you'd like, but based on when you joined this forum, it appears you don't have a complete and accurate understanding of the situation and timeline.

Yes, we won't deviate from our discount. It would be against whatever Ford offers as a price without their price protection.For Granger reservation holders that ultimately do not get a MY23 Bronco, whether they chose to leave any constraints or remove all constraints and just did not get scheduled, would you still honor the original pricing deal at the time of the initial reservation? (IE $1k or $2k under invoice) My understanding is that new orders would need to be made for MY24.
I don't know that all of them will get filled, it will depend on commodity restraints, but we'll get much more than we were anticipating.So now they’re going to fill all your orders in 2023?! 2 doors aren’t restricted but those who want 4 hard tops will have a harder time?
Got mine for MSRP. And yeah, BFE enough for you to choose the closest big city, instead of the actual city...Granger, IA. A town of 1,846. So yeah, I would consider a town of 1,846 to be BFE.Since when is Des Moines in BFE? Also, thousands below invoice vs. "we don't know what we are going to charge you" or $10K over msrp is a 'ell of a buck!
Exactly! When asked about ADM my local dealer told me the price will be what the price will be, yeah, after that I moved my order to Granger. I can't imagine Des Moines is anymore BFE than my little corner of SC where my local Ford dealer is over 20 miles away me.Since when is Des Moines in BFE? Also, thousands below invoice vs. "we don't know what we are going to charge you" or $10K over msrp is a 'ell of a buck!
I'm not sure how restrained the dual top orders are. We'd like to have everything wrapped up ASAP.Hi Zach, Thank you for the information on the Bronco ordering plans. A couple logistical questions.
1. Given you have about 475 orders to potentially process / update AND Ford's deadline is March 7th, what is Granger's deadline? Presuming you want to give yourselves about 1-2 weeks to process all of the orders ahead of the deadline.
2. I have a Dual Top order. Is Ford ignoring these, prioritizing them separately, or just hoping these orders will change to soft tops?
thanks,
James
I think most dealers are "participating" by reaching out to customers proactively to change orders.@Zach@Granger
From what you know - is the allocation "debit" only for the dealerships with VERY excessive backlogs? Or is this something dealerships with a decent amount (100+) of reservations or even fewer can partake in?
I'd assume, for future repercussions, that this is optional to the participating dealers?
Yes, you can do that and qualify for the $2500. That is probably the route I would go if I was in your shoes.@Zach@Granger
my order is a 2dr Base Sasquatch, just removing the Sasquatch would leave me with an undesirable Bronco since you cannot configure a base with full time 4wd and a rear locker without the SAS pkg. I would need to change trims. Changing trim to Black Diamond is where I would like to be. Is this possibe and qualify for the $2500?
I haven't gotten a clear answer on this yet or how it will play out. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Our responsibility is to the reservation holders. I'd like to get all of you, your Broncos!so if your annual allocation is 100 (for example) and they build all 475 broncos on order for 2023, then Granger wont get any more broncos for 2024, 2025, 2026, and only 25 broncos in 2027? thats horrid. How are you supposed to increase your allocation through sales if they dont give you any to sell in future years?
I don't think the production cycle on Raptor is changing. This is a highly profitable build for Ford I would imagine, so it wouldn't make sense to cut that short.With some emphasis on the Raptor, which in most cases has all of those same commodity restrictions, are they limiting those builds also?
And they didn't have enough Broncos. I'm sorry, but if this was a case where Ford had a surplus of Broncos and didn't send them, then I would get the anger. But what was Ford to do? Not have Broncos in Dallas, Houston, etc., because Granger, IA and it's 1,800 residents have a 1,000 orders? Give me a break. If production could have happened at a higher rate, then I get it. But that's not what happened and Ford didn't have any good choices. The only real choice then was to distribute the Broncos nationwide as fairly as it could. Maybe it could have done a better job, but pretending like Ford had a good decision here at all is ignoring reality.I cut no corners, found a great deal 4 hours from me (northern IL, not quite WI), and have been dragged through the mud by Ford Motor Company ever since. Ford misled us and moved the goalposts multiple times through this process. Zach and his shop have proven the only honest and fair people in the whole mix. But go ahead and continue to blame the consumer. We were only told they were going fill reservations first nearly 3 years ago.
We've talked about this. Most of these should show up here around June. I was thinking a big get together around the 4th of July sounds like a great idea.So, in the event that Granger gets 1000 Broncos delivered at once, are we planning a rager in the parking lot?
I should probably know this by now but, what's the timeframe for this scheduling cycle? That'll be our most important time limit, I think. Any Granger customer that doesn't take this window runs the risk of Ford being pretty stingy with us going forward. Just my opinion.
