Actually, they quite clearly stated in a mass email that if you were not selected for a 2021 model you will get a 2022 (emphasis mine). After a year of them abandoning their ethics by intentionally choosing to break the reservation system with allocations, I laughed internally, but I won't forget it was sent in a mass email to all of us.They did tell us that some people may expect a 2023. WIsh they could narrow it down though.
Nobody has a problem with that. The problem is akin to you sitting at a table (dealer) and ordering a medium rare steak with veggies, and a roll (along with 10000 other people ordering the same thing, some at your table and others at different tables) while the take out folks come in a year or more after you and and order the exact same medium rare steak with veggies, and a roll and they get served before the other 10001 folks who ordered first and have been waiting (forget the reservation if you like, they actually ordered first as soon as Ford allowed it). Because of the limited permutations available and the (estimating) 90K reservations outstanding there are statistically many basic builds that could be built right now that reservation holders ordered first and they are getting skipped because Ford prefers to serve their favorite tables more often regardless of commodities. It won't be long before Ford is putting Steaks, veggies, and rolls at empty tables (dealer stock) to be sold whenever anyone sits at that table, all while the other folks continue to wait.I mean restaurants keep selling and processing to-go orders while the tables are full. The tables are like Broncos with restricted commodities there are only so many available. If you are starving and want food now order it to-go (a non-restricted bronco).
There will be MIC tops and 2-doors available as dealer stock long before the reservations are filled. The current allocation system does not consider the number of reservations a dealer holds when deciding where to send Bronco slots. There could be no clearer message from Ford concerning how much they desire to serve the reservation holders. They do not consider them at all in the formula which determines which dealers get allocations.
