Dude you late to the party we have been waiting for 2020 Broncos and they were building them but other things in the world happened. I have been waiting for 459 days since I plunked down my $100.00 and was told that I should be getting a 2020 Bronco.
In the same exact boat as you, and feel the exact same way. Even took to reaching out to Jim Farley on Twitter, to no eval so far. Guess I’ll tag Mark in my tweets now as well. If anyone one has any suggestions, I’m listening. Thanks all, and happy New Year.Warning: This is mostly a rant from a fed up and disillusioned early (first 48 hours) reservation holder.
I made multiple attempts to contact Ford and try and get some sort of direct answer as to why I'm seeing other people with the same build get scheduled while I don't even have a ballpark delivery estimate.
(No hate for those who got scheduled. In fact I'm thrilled for you! I just want a real answer from Ford rather than forum hearsay as to why the scheduling is so messed up.)
Given the radio silence from Ford after my other attempts to get answers, I reduced myself to joining Twitter.
This was apparently enough to prompt a block. Now given that Mr. Levine is the communications manager, I have to assume he speaks for Ford. Consequently, this feels a lot like I'm being told that Ford does not want my business.
Now given that I'm 523 days and counting, and Ford seems like it doesn't give a flying pig about early reservation holders, I'm honestly debating if this is a company I want to do business with. If they are making it this difficult to pay $40k for the vehicle in the first place, what can I expect with recalls, issues, or replacement parts?
The Bronco is an awesome vehicle, it's just a shame that the company keeps falling through on it's promises and seems to be actively screwing over it's most enthusiastic customers.
If my Bronco gets scheduled soon I'll still take it. Given that I don't even have assurance of a 2022 delivery however, I am now finally starting to seriously look at alternatives.
Given that walk in orders have gotten vin numbers in 2 weeks (per my dealer), and I'm 11 months out from my order, I'd say my response is well justified.I got a kick out of this too! Since they didn't even have your build order until early this year, that's when the clock starts. Lol. How to be overly dramatic without knowing the difference between a reservation and actual order.
If the builds were identical, I would say your gripe is legit, but that's probably not the case. All it takes is 1 part on constraint to push a build back. Those that know what constraints are currently affecting builds have likely chosen to remove them and take what Ford is currently able to build. Same thing is happening with Maverick.
Given that you were criticizing something I have explained very clearly multiple times, your post just makes you sound like you didn't bother reading before typing.
I did get the hammock! No calendar though....
I was honestly shocked, but one of them was my build exactly down to the color. I have seen multiple with the same list of official constraints as me though.
I hope you get some answers
That's my point. The 5 other members clearly didn't get through to you dude, lol. Doesn't make sense to use a date before your actual order date but clearly you can't grasp this fact. No wonder you got blocked as you sound out of touch.Given that you were criticizing something I have explained very clearly multiple times, your post just makes you sound like you didn't bother reading before typing.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you are probably the fifth person to go round and round on this, and like I said, I used that number for a reason.

I spoke to my dealer today, had to elevate it to management and was told they don't know anything, and can't do anything. They also claimed ignorance about the allocation process. Then I went and test drove a bunch of jeeps. Getting jersey around by ford and getting what amounts to the middle finger when I ask for answers has me seriously re considering whether I want to do business with Ford or not.
You seem to not understand how to agree to disagree. I clearly defined that the time was from the pre-order, and how I defined waiting. You can disagree if you want, but your opinion doesn't carry any more validity than mine.
I’m not really in the days since reservation camp because we all knew when we placed a reservation in the early days, there was going to be some wait until anyone got one. However, as long as you are clear which you are using, I think it is fine. Plus, reservation date supposedly conveys some information about where you are in line. I’ve seen plenty of people using either date, and particularly on Twitter, people often neglect to say which it is, probably because a tweet is so limited in length.
