We'll probably never know, but what i want to know is how many actual orders were made for a MY21 and then how many orders decided to hold off for a 22.

The '65 Mustang repair manual was listed as Mustang/Falcon/Fairlane if memory serves.
They didn't even have any of the resources available today and got things done. Back then is was probably something like picking up the phone and dialing, "Joe, this is Mike over at Ford. Can you send me another 200k of those widgets"? Joe says "sure, they'll be on a truck in 2 weeks".
What if the dealer let you get ahead of everyone for some extra dough. Would you do it?
I don't quite get the animosity towards some people getting their Bronco first if their willing to pay for it. There are so many examples of in society of people paying for priority or privilege. Or people just buying something to flip it to the next guy for a profit.
Ford seems to have caused a lot of angst with this reservation system where people have a "place in line". Anytime you ordered cars in the past, they just showed up when they were ready. There was never seeing yourself as ahead of or behind someone.
A lot of the comments on B6G remind me of that George Carlin routine about traffic. The people driving slower than you are morons and the people driving faster than you are assholes.
What's the penalty? Reason I ask, I can picture dealers charging a sizable up-charge... so they would stand to make more money breaking the rules, rather than following them.

Id pay extra to skip the line.
I reserved early to skip the line. But if I failed at that, I’d be fine paying extra to grab a cancelled order that got delivered and had what I wanted.

This is a bunch of B.S. Had my reservation converted to a order without my consent on 3/18 and after telling the SM that I was waiting on MY22 for either a Base Squatch Stick or a Heritage and he smiled and told me no problem and not to worry. If I took a MY21, I was in the top 5 on their list. I think they're just trying to steal my reservation for their their sales floor.
I'm just waiting till May to get the build date estimate, until then, no bod ee knows nothin'
But this is becoming a real long wait.

I cancel my two orders and picked up a 17 F-150 Platinum FX4 (for a real good deal). If I am going to pay the big bucks, they need to fix the manual transmission package. I really want the 2.7L with a manual and Sasquatch. Dig would be even better. Right now the FX4 fits my needs. The 10 Speed is OK, but I really want to row my own. Plus, the 17 has a CD and mechanical parking brake.

They probably just wanted to boost their allocation...have then put priority 99 on it and hold it until next year. Probably not a big deal, or any deal. Of course...they could also be trying to snipe it.
If I wanted a 22 I would just have made a later reservation at a dealer offering a great deal for late reservations. Again, no big deal in your case since you are waiting.
Ford is building this Bronco for one reason and one reason only. It would be nice of them to build them according to people’s “place in line”, but in reality they will build these in whatever way that gets the most out the door. —-my opinion.

I don't see it that way, just some are in a hurry, and some are not.What if the dealer let you get ahead of everyone for some extra dough. Would you do it?
No..... Because I have integrity.
I don't quite get the animosity towards some people getting their Bronco first if their willing to pay for it. There are so many examples of in society of people paying for priority or privilege. Or people just buying something to flip it to the next guy for a profit.
Then why even have a reservation system at all?, so you're good with people cutting in line ahead of you just because they are willing to pony up a few extra thousand?

Again, see answer above.

That seems likely to be the next big news. I can just imagine the threads we'll see here before then. I certainly hope Ford doesn't give anything else away.

Well, dealers will get their actual allocation for MY21 in the interim, maybe next week. That will be semi-big news...That seems likely to be the next big news. I can just imagine the threads we'll see here before then. I certainly hope Ford doesn't give anything else away.
