Alleged Bronco Reservation Total (60k in 24 hours)

[Gamecock]

If this is true Ford just got a 6 million dollar interest free loan.

With revenue of over $150Billion....that is less than peanuts.

Ford has said unequivocally that reservations will be built before dealer stock units, roughly in the order in which the reservations were received.

I like the idea of reservations being built in the order received prior to dealer stock. That might mean we will be given a set time limit to work with our dealers to convert the reservation to an order with deposit. Realize if that process holds true, we could end up ordering our vehicles without seeing, sitting in or test driving an actual Bronco. Fascinating! I could live with that!

Yeah, how many minutes of their daily operations will that cover? Just did the math. About 21 minutes.

Great question. I imagine they're going to build both reservations and dealer vehicles synchronously.

Ford specifically stated that all reservation vehicles will be built before dealer stock vehicles.

What factory are they building Bronco's at? Just one plant? I still would like to know how many Ford thinks they can build at full capacity?

I work for ford, I know many things, I can see many things.

no one is sharing the reservation counts.

I see no reason that a factory worker would need to be brought in on that secret. They could know the annual capacity for the plant, thats something in the scope of their job depending what they do... but reservations? nope, they just build the orders as they get sequence, no ones telling them how many reservations are up front.

I understand. I'm just reporting what I've seen that seems to have credibility ?‍

wayne michigan, but it shares the plant with Ranger.

Any idea what annual production in numbers for Wayne MI?

I am still trying to figure out what the "sold out" reference was to in the facebook post. Did they have some sort of allocation of 60,000 vehicles?

If I'm nice, I'll rent my new Bronco to the dealer to put in his showroom for a month or so to bring in traffic to his dealership.

How cool would it be if Ford sent those that reserved their Broncos updates/pics by email during the build! From start to finish.

Anyone notice that part of the back seat is folded in a couple of the photos above...and it that it appears to be down much further than in previously released photos? It's not perfectly flat, but it is lower! Here's the photo again...

Based on what my dealer said they reserved some too. so i think they will be built side by side and they have 28 reserved.

With interest, to cover the inconvenience and hardship

The real question is what will they do with all those reservations. Build them first? Build them in some ratio of dealer deliveries? If they do build all reservations first, when will dealers actually have one on the lot? A year down the road? Has a manufacturer ever delivered non limited supply vehicles in this manner before? Will certainly change dealer dynamics if the first year or more only go to reservations.

I was told the dealer will get two Broncos to use as courtesy vehicles long before they get any for retail. Sound odd?
