Yea but that is not how it was worded in the beginning, there is no disputing that..

True, I wish Ford did things differently

OK. Thank you for that. I've been tossing around changing to 4cyl 7 SP.

So I see you have approximately 200 orders. Any idea what your allocation is for this year?

Honestly, more than what we will probably order. We have a good amount of executive allocations(these don't soak up our main allocation) from being in Southeast Michigan and being in the top 30 of over 3000 dealers helps as well.

Oh Man.....

What is your pricing on Ordered Broncos and how much of a deposit, if any, would someone have to put down at ordering time? I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering the same, but I can message you if you would rather answer me that way.

@JoshuaPrieto Thanks for coming on here and sharing. It's hard to believe you have less orders than allocations, but I don't doubt what you're saying. Are you an MSRP dealer?

By that I mean, if we put in orders, they will most likely get selected this year eventually. Not that I could just load my system indefinitely with orders - but we just pace our allocations.

We are an A/Z Plan or MSRP dealership. We give buyers orders now because of all the current dealer shenanigans.

5X less orders, 2.5X more scheduled Broncos, makes perfect sense, thanks @Ford Motor Company

wait till these dealers get all their reservation orders filled and are getting units for the lot while we're still waiting...

I understand everyone is frustrated, I didn't mean to post this to trigger everyone. I know I have customers here and I know people are naturally curious on what other dealers are getting.

To be fair, everything is going to anger us at this point and it just further demonstrates F**d doesn’t want our business. This could be the first, last and only Ford I never buy.

I can understand it and I don't blame anyone. It doesn't help when you have greedy dealerships as well.

I hope Ford learns from this and actually change comes from it. They are getting better at holding dealers liable. Trust me, I love money, but I don't need to make my whole month off of one customer. This is a people business, people don't come back to you if they don't like you or your dealership.

Joshua, thanks for sharing this info. I’m glad to see a decent number of 2 doors being scheduled. I think I need to reach out to your dealership.

Nice to see alot of them getting built. I ordered from north brothers, in Westland. Build date of Feb 14, so hopefully its ready soon after that.

Question... Do you ever get people asking why the delivery and destination charge is $1500 if it's like ten miles from the plant. I know it's just a flat rate but it seems kinda crazy.

Destination/Delivery charges are regulated, but also, they average them out so that one region doesn't pay a higher sticker price than another region. I have never had someone try to negotiate the D&D, because you "can't." You technically could ask for a discount in the sum of that fee, but good luck getting that in this market

If you're interested, shoot me a DM. Happy to discuss

Curious, does the Advanced 4x4 transfer case or 2.7 engine appear to be a constraint? I noticed that most of the orders picked up were not Advanced 4x4 variants.
