Can you share the communication that says every order would be filled prior to dealer stock? and orders are filled based on time stamp. If you have parts not available they can't build your vehicle. I don't build vehicles but I feel confident when I say, they need the parts to build them.
Our first day reservation took 507 days till we got it. Two door Wildtrak.
Both were stated by Ford and Levine on launch. I did not save these posts, with a search I’m sure you could find media with these statements.
It does take regular fuel...if you wish to use premium...you get a little bump in HP..
Let's not dance around the dealer. I'm with Granger. It is not Zach's fault in anyway. Ford has dictated a new allocation formula. All dealers received the first month's allocation for January. Using that baseline, it is extrapolated a total allocation for the year. That number will not satisfy the outstanding remaining orders with Granger.
I too am frustrated with the wait and I haven't been waiting as long as others- had '21 order and have had to convert it to a '22, and I recently cancelled my trailer hitch to try to help a little.....however, when you do the math, you will see that the trend is that Ford will build the 100,000th Bronco in the May/June time frame. I'm nearly certain that number will cover ALL of the Reservations that were issued to us. There will be some lucky souls who will and have gotten builds without a reservation, and there will be some dealer stock built, but I do not expect to be waiting more than another 5-6 months to drive my new Bronco.
I will go down and see you, and let you drive mine.As a fifth grade teacher I spend plenty of time talking to 11 year olds about fairness, kindness, right, and wrong.
Like many of you, over a year ago I reserved a Bronco. I had never heard of allocations, ADM, or @mrlevine. I thought I’d place my $100 deposit, get in line, and wait my turn. After all, that’s what I teach my students. “Wait your turn, and you will get your fair share.”
I have purchased enough cars in my 53 years to know I don’t like the process, but this seemed different. We were told it was different. I was ignorant, and I believed them.
As a teacher in a very high poverty district, I don’t have money to waste, so I chose a discount price from a small town dealer in a neighboring state. I got burned by that. @Ford
I drive a 2005 F150 with 230,000 miles on it, so I can’t wait 6 years for my Bronco, so I believed @mrlevine when he said I could change my dealer. I started that process over 8 weeks ago, and I’m still waiting. I’m convinced I believed the wrong people - again.
Now I find myself thinking of ways to game the system or cut the line, because doing the things I ask my students to do has gotten me nothing but grief, frustration, and embarrassment.
I know some of you will laugh at me or blame me for being so gullible, and maybe you’re correct. This has certainly been a learning experience. I just wanted the truck I had dreamed about for 30 years. I did not expect lessons in patience, disappointment, and corporate misinformation.
Good luck to everyone in line in front of me and behind me. I suspect my students will be driving before I get a Bronco. Maybe I can get a ride from one of them to the dealer for the actual delivery.
How many of these “100 k” you speak of are actually reservations? There seems to be a lot of people waltzing in and getting 4 door soft tops scheduled immediately.
