3/27/21 Update - Hardtop Headliner, Allocation, & Price Protection

[Southside_Ray]

Glad to be along for the ride @Zach@Granger! I will plan on a MY22 at this moment & if I get lucky enough to get a MY21 I'll be ready.

Again Zach, thanks for keeping us updated on what's happening. And, congratulations on the amount of Bronco's you folks have sold. I know there are so many variables working now that it's next to impossible for anyone to know even close to when we will receive our Bronco's. But, in honor of Dave @Used2jeep who just got ghosted (he'll be back), here's what I think.

It sounds like half of those waiting for a 2022MY will have to wait for a 2023MY or later. Hopefully production will ramp up in 2022 to meet existing reservations.

Noooooooooooooooooo Brad.....don't say that. Don't even think that. I don't need that put out into the universe. Someone may be listening.

Are you expecting to get an incredibly higher allocation for MY22? Just trying to see how all 1300 orders get delivered by the end 2022 if you still have 1100 to go at the end of 2021.

I'm most interested to see how this plays out. Ford will prioritize retail orders over stock orders. But my guess is we're going to be the last dealer to run out of retail orders. How they'll handle that will be interesting. I can't see it going to 2023 model year. I could be wrong, but who knows.

@Zach@Granger, from your mouth to the Ford God's ears. But, if things change let me know so I can schedule more therapy sessions.

We have 1300 reservations now.
1300
-200 2021 Allocation
-100 reservations we cannot contact or who told us they plan to cancel.
This leaves us with a 1000 balance left for 2022.
We have some people "hedging their bets" with 2 reservations to see timing, who aren't ready to commit etc. I'd anticipate a final order rate of 65% of those who want a 2022.
1000 x .65% = 650
Production double for 2022 with 12 months versus 6 in 2021. Our allocation will double on that alone from 203 to 406.

That leaves us with a balance of 650-406=244.

Based upon our quick turn, our high reservation count, and other dealers exhausting their reservations. Im guessing we will get a bigger percentage of the overall Bronco production in 2022 versus the 2021 Model year.

Ford should just move the factory to Granger, lol!

Thanks for all of the transparent info @Zach@Granger !

Thank you for keeping us all informed and being transparent @Zach@Granger.

While we wait, all we can do is sit around, speculate, and try to find witty memes as a retort to BN videos. It's great to get a morsel of new information every so often, even if just to help us keep our bearings. Thank you!

Last I heard from Granger, I was around the 238 mark in order. After reading all this, still not sure if I should hope for this year or next. I’ll just wait till May to find out and pray in between! Haha! Thanks for all the info and hard work Zach!

@Zach@Granger , Are the October reservations being held to a certain time before entering? I know the focus changed to prioritize getting pre September 19 orders entered.

 

[Gaggs11]

I would ancticipate based upon our quick turn, our high reservation count versus other dealers and the fact that other dealers will run out of reservations before us that we'll get a bigger percentage of the overall Bronco production in 2022 versus the 2021 Model year.

This make sense. I think you will end up with more allocations overall and likely fill all the customer orders in MY22

We have at a minimum emailed everyone in October. If you haven't seen that it probably went to your spam. Reach out to Sean and he can help get your order submitted. There's a small chance I would get scheduled but it's at least a chance.

Can you imagine, some point in 2022 and the factory runs out of retail orders to produce, say June. And every bronco coming off is a Granger build? That would make me smile.
That would only last a couple of days. Though. What do they do 7k a week?
