Many of us are in trouble with the new allocation model with relatively smaller dealers with a large number of reservations.
Taking the advice of @mrlevine (" You can take your order to another dealer if you think the one you’re at has too many reservations and you want it faster") I began to shop around to the larger dealerships (Top 20 in the US) in the nearest large city in an attempt to move my reservation to improve my chances of getting a bronco...ever.

That when I received two surprises:
I'm not going to lie, I was pleasantly surprised the dealerships took this stance and I am happy that they are taking care of people who have been waiting with them, I cant fault them there.
This is, however, just further evidence that your reservation timestamp means nothing and that despite what Ford says its not just as simple as transferring to a larger dealership after they screwed up this entire model.
What tag are we using now? #FordLies, #NeverTrustFord, #BaitandSwitch? I cant keep up since this is the 437th time they've pulled this during this launch.

That when I received two surprises:
1) The dealerships notified me that they are unable to transfer reservations at this time. They would have to give me a retail order and have been explicitly told by Ford reservation transfers are not allowed for FY22.
2)Further, even if they could transfer the reservation they wouldn't honor my reservation timestamp because they don't want to risk alienating their current reservation holders by someone like me (7/13 @ 10p EST) getting in front of them and if they did transfer me they would 99 my order until everyone else in line was taken care of.
