False, I am priority 10.

Most are 19. Some dealers do 10.

They are the same. Priority 10 is not going to get you a Bronco faster than priority 19.

The manager is probably right in that all Broncos at his dealership are 19.

There’s been talk that the priority code doesn’t matter (10-19). Even if it does, I think it’s scoped to the dealership. Anyone have better info?

False. That may be the case at your specific dealership, but not across all Ford dealerships.

Here is a detailed explanation of Bronco priority codes from a prior post back in 21MY, so the model year references are dated, but the other parts are still relevant...

Dealers can only code retail Bronco orders (“special orders”) with PCs 10-19 (unscheduled, but available to build in 21MY) or PC 99 (22MY Wait / “Do not build”). PC 30 is for a wholesale order (“dealer stock”), so is irrelevant to special orders.

Normally, for many other non-Bronco vehicles, a dealer can rank order customers within its own order bank to determine its preferred scheduling order based on importance (e.g, Big Spenders = PC 10, all others PCs 11-19), but Ford has overridden that normal process for Bronco, where reservation date & time (“timestamp”) determines priority within a specific dealer’s allocation.

Nevertheless, one person’s 8/31 timestamp at Dealer A may still get scheduled ahead of another person’s 7/31 timestamp at Dealer B, depending on each dealer’s allocation, build specs, and commodity constraints.

The only situation where timestamps are relevant is within each dealer’s own order bank. At your dealer, a 7/31 timestamp will get scheduled before an 8/31 timestamp, if commodities are available for both (“unscheduled-clean”).

For example, if you have the 7/31 timestamp, but your dealer codes you PC 19, and another person has the 8/31 timestamp, but your dealer codes them PC 10, the scheduling program will ignore the assigned priority codes, so your order with the earliest timestamp would still be scheduled before the other person’s, if your order is unscheduled-clean.

False: I just checked again this morning and mine is Priority Code 10.

I'll tell you another thing I was told, but I am sure it will be rebutted, In 2022, at the dealer level, they are no longer able to set a Bronco at a PC of 99 and that only Ford can do it now. If it is set there, they can leave it or move it to a 10-19, but cannot take a 10-19 and move it to 99 anymore. A measure to try and avoid further malfeasance, just saying that is what I was told.

My dealer indicated that lower PCs are pulled first - constraints notwithstanding. I was a PC 10 and I am due to deliver in a week. Others at same dealer are PC 19 - they are still waiting.

• 1st hour reservation
• '22 BL MT SAS LUX

Normally that would be the case. Not with the Bronco. So he's right in general but wrong regarding the Bronco.

• 10/20 reservation

^^^ This. However, at this point it really doesn't matter. Option constraints, especially that damn MIC top, play a bigger part in building our Broncos. Then, thanks to the whiny ass mega dealers, you have to wait longer if you reserved at a small home town dealer.

Mine started as a code 19 back in January 2021 and then mysteriously changed to 10 in March.

I honestly don't know how true that is. I was a Priority 10. The only "deadly sin" i didn't have was MIC. Ordered end of June 2021 and was built 12/27.

I was always a priority code 11.

My original 2021 order summary had a priority of 19. Today, I requested an updated 2022 order summary and the priority code is now 13. Which is odd, I have yet to see a priority code of 13.

I am not saying hijinks are afoot at the dealer, but the new order summary sent was $100 more than my 2021 MSRP. I was told multiple times by the dealer that my order would automatically switch 22 without additional actions by myself, or the dealer. I wonder if a ball was dropped somewhere.

August 1 2020: Reservation
February 17th 2021: Order

Four things changed:

1. Dealer Rep: White out for privacy
2. Priority Code: 19->13
3. Price level: 115->215
4. Price: $100 price increase.

Thoughts?
