Because ford told everyone that reservation number was a determining factor when assigning builds…..and they have not detracted that statement, and have in fact reiterated it several times. They never once said merely ordering a bronco would would effect your place in line, as long as you ordered before the cutoff date in March.
I get that, but I can’t even see my reservation on the site, now that it has been converted to an order. How are they being picked from the dealership, by reserve stamp, then reordered on a master list?
The best way to think about it is dealer-specific. Dealers all got a certain allocation. Each scheduling period they get some portion of that allocation scheduled.
Your reservation date and time can be referenced from the email Ford sent confirming your reservation. Literally the actual time it was sent.
Thanks that helps. Do they put them order again, once Ford picks them for a build, by reservation?
I reserved on 13 Jul 20 and ordered on 21 Jan ……I can still see the reservation number on the Ford site for the Bronco I ordered and the one I ordered (on the 14th) and subsequently cancelled. You should have received an email from Ford with your reservation number……….if that’s still they way it’s being done. Hang in there, but don’t be in a hurry. Your situation is going to take a while. Work with your dealership and seek out the info you need on this forum,….chances are others are or have been in your exact situation.
Thanks. I’m sure my dealers is sick of me. I changed my order completely once another told me no new orders will be produced till 2023. I switched from BL lux mic to WT high Mic, after my dealer stated that’s the way to get a mic faster. I’m not sure if that’s true but makes sense. The BL is more popular and they can’t just stop producing WT.
Curious. When did you reserve?
I was asking because I have a 6/29 production date, and a VIN, and haven’t received any of these emails and am worried mine is being pushed too. My dealer seems to think mine is ‘produced’ but I have not gotten any info since my build week went from august to June a month or so ago. Once you receive the email, does your production date change on any of the trackers?
In May. So very late, but if they pick by allocation and type of build, I might have a chance to be built in a year. It’s a small dealership, with only 40 orders currently, but not sure about their allocation. A big dealership I decided not to go with told me don’t expect anything before 2023.
A dealer has been told how many MY21 Broncos they will get. (allocation) this was a percentage of the total reservation they had. You would place your order with the dealer and be placed in line by your original reservation. The dealer was given 1 or 2 priority orders that they could give to one of their customers and that order would jump to the front of the line. Because of commodity issues, Ford said they would build Broncos with the parts they had during a particular month. If #s 1-10 at the dealer we’re hard tops and # 11 was a soft top then they would build #11 first and when a hard top became available they would build #1. It’s starts to get a little crazy and hard to understand the further you go. For instance, if a dealer was allocated 20 MY21 Broncos by Ford you would expect the first 20 reservation to get MY21 Broncos. But if the first 20 ordered hard tops and Ford didn’t have any then the first order that had a soft top would get made. This means that #20 would get bumped to #21 and be out of the running for a MY21. Another senecio would be, reservation #1 ask to have their priority code 99 (order hold) then #s 2-21 would now be in the running for a MY21. If #1 changed their mind and asked to have the priority code 99 taken off at any time then they would go back the the front of the list. It is a complicated process that’s why so many people are worked up.
Wow, I had no idea it was that complicated, thanks for explaining. I was given 99 by my dealer because my late reservation I suppose. They have 40 orders currently, but most are 2 doors. I have a May reservation for WT 4 door, high, mod bumper.
No. They just go on the schedule to be built when they are selected. They can be moved around, but after selected it doesn't appear reservation time means anything.
Okay so this bs about reservations time stamp is meaningless if say a person reserved in major metropolis with tons of orders and few allocations vs. small town with limited number of orders made. It also depends on type of orders the dealer has. Mine stated they have more two doors.
