I don't mind if Ford requires an additional deposit. But I thought I'd share the copied and pasted email below I received from my Dealer, Walnut Creek Ford in California.
Great news! We wanted to reach out to you to let you know that ordering your brand new Ford Bronco is right around the corner! Ford has just recently announced that the ordering bank will be opened on December 7th, 2020, for the full size 2 and 4 door Bronco. We can't be more excited for this, as we are sure you are, too! We know how long you have been waiting for this!
Our vision consists of a transparent, effective, and efficient ordering process, to ensure you don't have to wait unncessarily to get your Bronco!
When the order bank opens up, you can imagine with the number of reservations that we have, there will quite a bit of work involved making sure we submit these orders properly. To prevent a traffic jam of calls and emails on the ordering day, what we encourage, is to please submit your full configuration to us via a PDF from the build and price site. Orders will be submitted according to reservation number. It is imperative, if you have one of the earlier reservation dates, to please make sure you have your build and price summary emailed over to us, so we can get it placed for you without any hiccups.
Also, there will not be another deposit collected at the time of order.
I have included a screenshot of how you can email us a summary of your build.
On the build and price, which can be reached by clicking here, you will see a "print" option, next to summary. If you can please click that option, and change your printer to "save as PDF." This will allow you to save your build, which is what you will please email me.
The attached build you email me, should be how you plan on ordering the actual vehicle. We completely understand if you have questions regarding configuration, and would like some guidance. That's what I am here for. If so, let's please do it well before the order date, to ensure we can accurately get the orders in, in the timeliest of manners.
When you have your build and price ready to go, please email it over to me, and in the body of the email, please state "I approve you placing this as my order, and agree to the terms of the Bronco Order Acknowledgement Form." Please click here for the order acknowledgement form . If for some reason a couple days go by, and you realize that you forgot to add something or need to make a change, no problem, there will be at least few days grace period after the orders are placed, from where changes will be permitted.
Should any thoughts or questions come up, please do not hesitate to reach out to me prior to the December 7th date. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, as we prepare to embark deeper together in this wonderful and exciting journey.
Sincerely,

Even if it is refundable not everyone (those that aren't serious) might have the liquidity to put $500-1000 down. Also, I'm fine with a deposit, as long as it's applied to the vehicle when we go to pay.

Not trying to preach but.... if anyone is hurting to put $500-1k down on a vehicle that starts bare bones north of $30k, they should probably reconsider their purchasing timeline. A 30K loan at 2.2% is more than $500 per month for 60 months.
500-1000 is a reasonable deposit seeing how volatile and potentially far out delivery dates can be with the Bronco. Anymore I feel is too much of a free loan to dealers.

In the state of WA any deposit for a product which hasn't been manufactured yet is refundable.
From the perspective of ensuring orders are converted to purchases, they should require a 5% deposit and if the order converts, pay out a few % of interest on the deposit via service vouchers, oil changes, or dealer installed accessories.
I see no problem with that at all. Which means that if a dealership posted it here, it would be vilified and roasted.

I’ve been talking a lot with the squirrels in the backyard ( you know with the COVID restrictions and all ) and they have been in secret talks with people high up in the Ford company. And I have it as gospel truth that the only thing written in stone is that “ Ford will build a new Bronco - someday!
