Allocations Question

[Sooner]

This may be a tough question,
I know for a fact that I was the first reservation at my dealer but with Priority and VIP orders how far back in line can I be pushed?
Hopefully one of the dealers out there can help with this.

How much unobtainium is in your build spec?

Just SAS, but that shouldn’t matter on allocation #. It’s a 2Dr Base with SAS and Aux switches, nothing else.

Then you should be in a good position for 21MY delivery. But if your build was full of cardinal sins, and your dealer only has (say, for example) 3 allocations, you might get pushed back quite a bit by stripper builds flowing in as dealer stock to fill allocation slots.

Don’t forget the elusive MIC

But what should my allocation number be? #3, #4, #5 ?

It’s a 2Dr no other option!

Sadly it’s THE biggest sin right now

And does dealer stock count toward allocations too?

Despite the alarm about it, Priority and VIP orders had very little effect*.

There were just over 3,000 priority orders… Ford will be producing many more times that every week.

The very first week of production, which was actually a week earlier than they originally planned, produced about 3,000 units.

What this means is that if your dealership had 1 or two priority orders, and they wait until an entire truck can ship your dealer’s way, and you’re #1 at your dealership, assuming no commodity issues, your Bronco would still arrive on the very first truck.

From your perspective, and basically everyone else’s, the priority orders didn’t do anything other than make a big difference for the person who got awarded it.

*The caveat is if you were going to be one of the very last MY21 Broncos produced, and that 1 or 2 priority builds just barely pushed you into MY22… and then a bunch of earlier code 99 people took their place in line ahead of you, delaying your build further.

But it doesn’t sound like that’s your problem.

In reality, commodity issues are playing a MUCH larger role on when people get their Broncos.

Exactly this. The top fiasco has 95% of 2dr orders waiting to see if we’re gonna even make it this year. I reserved in the first 10 hrs with granger and I’m not confident in it at this point.
To answer your original question, at absolute worst you should be #4, in the event your dealer was able to snag additional priority orders (there were parameters to earn extras I believe).

There’s a 100% chance you may or may not get a 2021. There’s also a 100% chance I have no idea what I’m talking about.

They will now that stock units will be built along with orders.

Great answer, Thank You very much
