Disclaimer: This is based on previous posts by bronco members and is still somewhat speculative
Bronco Reservations Converted to Orders WILL NOT be produced/delivered strictly by reservation timestamp.
Delivery of your order is dependent on several factors
Example
Dealer A is high volume and in huge jeep market
Dealer B is low volume
Given a dealer A gets 100 reservations (converted to orders) and Dealer B also gets 100
- Dealer A may be able to get 50 + 22 + 20 , ie be allocated 92 broncos from the production line
- Dealer B may be able to get 50 + 2 + 1 , ie be allocated 53 broncos from the production line
I am still not sure how those 53 and 92 will be "merged" together as far as order of production
I will continue to update/correct this post as more questions are answered
Basic Timing

I've looked at several older threads that made it seem like "allocation" will no impact on reservations and delivery. In other words that if you reserved a bronco, you will be served your bronco in the order it was reserved, regardless of the size of the dealer and that dealers "allocation"

However that seems it could be contrary to
Either way I was hoping to get a real world example of how allocation is truly at play here, wether it be for number of reservations a dealer can fulfill immediately or the number of "stock" units they would receive after reservations, as a "reward" for fulfilling reservations (among other things)
It seems like there is quite a bit of people wanting a simple explanation on just the allocation process

Bronco Reservations Converted to Orders WILL NOT be produced/delivered strictly by reservation timestamp.
Delivery of your order is dependent on several factors
- The time of your reservation (kinda).
- The number of reservations received at your dealer
- The volume of sales the dealer has placed in the past
- The number of Jeeps and 4runners sold in that market
- Dealers are instructed to place orders in order of timestamp, but don't have to, thats the "kinda" part
- 50% of reservations will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the dealers number of bronco reservations
- 25% of reservations will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the dealers sales volume
- 25% of the reservations will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the sales of jeeps/4Runners in market
Example
Dealer A is high volume and in huge jeep market
Dealer B is low volume
Given a dealer A gets 100 reservations (converted to orders) and Dealer B also gets 100
- Dealer A may be able to get 50 + 22 + 20 , ie be allocated 92 broncos from the production line
- Dealer B may be able to get 50 + 2 + 1 , ie be allocated 53 broncos from the production line
I am still not sure how those 53 and 92 will be "merged" together as far as order of production

Basic Timing
- Ford will provide dealers with an "initial allocation forecast" that is only based on reservations with a pre-9/18 timestamp.
- December-January dealers will work with reservation holders to convert reservations to orders
- Orders will be entered into WBDO
- Ford will review total order volume and allocate production to dealers based on some mix of the above criteria and probably parts availability (LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS)
- 50% of reservation will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the dealer's number of bronco reservations with a time stamp before Sept. 18th which converted to an order
Ford could still sort orders by reservation timestamp - Historically ford has prioritize higher trim production first. Its plausible first editions will be first off the line etc
- 50% of reservation will be fulfilled based on a calculation using the dealer's number of bronco reservations with a time stamp before Sept. 18th which converted to an order

However that seems it could be contrary to
"We're really trying to have an equitable and fair process for allocating to dealers," LaNeve said. "We have dealers that will get hundreds of Broncos allocated to them in 2021 and you go from there. Bigger dealers with lots of reservations will generate the most allocation, but we're going to try and take care of every dealer who has reservations."
Is it possible they are still referring to only allocation for the (2021) year after reservations are fulfilled, maybe?Allocation will be different from other lines as expected due to reservation process and they plan on getting the dealers long term allocation numbers (for the year) so we'll have some idea for scheduling
Either way I was hoping to get a real world example of how allocation is truly at play here, wether it be for number of reservations a dealer can fulfill immediately or the number of "stock" units they would receive after reservations, as a "reward" for fulfilling reservations (among other things)

add on top of that one post that vSo can you explain the allocation process to the mortals? If a dealer has 200 orders, do they get 50 Q1, 50 Q2 etc. Would I be looking at a possible late delivery because I ordered with a high volume dealer?
