I just pulled up at the dealership my order is through, to take a look in person at a truck in Antimatter Blue. It is magnificent! Even though it was on a $79K Lariat F-250 Powerstroke Tremor.

As I have mentioned here, I had left a message there last week to ask about their allocation and to see if they had any updates on Broncos. Nobody ever called me back. But as I expected when I got out and looked at a truck on-site, a salesman beelined to me. I told him I was just checking out the truck color, because I had ordered a Bronco through them in that color and wanted to see the color in person. We talked for a minute, and I asked if they had any updates from Ford. He claimed that Ford has been terrible about giving them any news, and they haven't heard anything and can't get any info. He said he's annoyed because they have had many "hot cases" which seemed to mean customers annoyed about the Bronco process.

I asked what their allocation was for Broncos, and he said he did not know, but they had 43 orders. I wasn't sure if that meant orders before 3/19 or total, but I believe it's total. I told him my reservation was day one, and my order was in by 3/19, so he said, "Oh, you definitely should be good." Except how does he know that if supposedly Ford has kept them in the dark?

He slipped away from the conversation and went back inside, since he realized I wasn't there to buy anything.

Are these guys just slacking and making excuses, or do bigger dealers get more info? This is a relatively small dealer.
Wow, I could have written your post, right down to the order number at one of my local dealers.

If you don't trust your dealer you better watch out. Dealers will be looking for ones to sell to their buddies and special people. I can hear it now..... We called you several times to come get it but you never did, would you like to re order another one??? ... Once your Bronco is registered to someone else it's over.
They already have their 20% ordered too (I know mine has). They probably don't need to poach.

We are punching above our weight class for Broncos, lets say that.
First Post on this forum, I Pre-ordered the week of announcement, confirmed order by March 19th deadline.

Getting a 2 door Wildtrak with Lux Package, normal Modular Hard Top. No bash bar and bottom plate.

I called my ford rep today asking if I could add the bash bar, he notified me that he wasn't available to make the change. "Your order has the highest priority for production. That means your Bronco is about to be scheduled for production." Got sent a screenshot as well saying changes could not be made.

They may have locked my order? or hopefully soon. :)

Anyone with the same news? opinions?

Just talked to mine today as well to see if Iā€™m in the first round or not at the dealer and I am, number 6!! Out of the 14 Ford is sending to them for the first round. But I do know after the last deal
One dealership, little town of Granger IA
mines a small one but thereā€™s bunch in my area and just talked to my dealer and they had to cut allocations but I made the cut and Iā€™ll be the first round of deliveries so thatā€™s good for me šŸ˜…

Kind of reminded me of this... Granger = Rocky

Thatā€™s a funny metaphor. šŸ˜†

Zach, I donā€™t know much about boxing, but I would bet good money that you could dunk on Dolph Lundgren ā€œall day eā€™ry dayā€ on a basketball court. šŸ€

Can we please get a ā€˜big & tallā€™ Bronco driver seat review from you when the Granger mannequins arrive? The Sasquatch-sized cohort on the forum need some assurances that weā€™ll fit. šŸ˜

I have seen a couple 250s with what I wish was AntiMatter, itā€™s actually some other blue that looks blue; for me that was the case anyway.

Bronco Orders 04-12.JPG


Looks like the first round of orders are starting this today! The process to schedule and get VINs will take up to two weeks.

If you are one of our reservation holders, we'll start making calls/sending emails as soon as tomorrow.
Wish my dealer was a 10th as informative as Granger. Thanks for the positive information.

Called my dealer and he knew nothing. Thought heā€™d get an email or just wait until May.

I donā€™t hold out much hope about getting any communication from any dealer. With that said there are a FEW good ones like Granger. Good luck to you .
Mine has answered every question I've had. And I have answered every question they had. Lol. On the front side just prior to order conversion they knew little but now much more informed. Calls or text replies 100% of the time. Sorry you are experiencing that. It would drive.me nuts. šŸ”©

Sounds like lack of a process. If they have a Bronco Specialist assigned, that person gets the info. myself and my GM get the Ford emails about the process.

My dealer seems to know quite a bit, but I have to drag it out of him every time I read an update on the forum to the point where it is so painful and I feel like I am being such a nuisance that I have to stop myself from stalking him.
