I am not sure why you guys don't ask your dealership for the VIN.

Cuz there isn’t one….?

a lot of early reservation holders ahead of you still waiting!

That's supposedly the whole reason Ford paused orders for MY22 Bronco's. So they could try and
get caught up on the back log of those reservation/orders.

I did actually, when they kept saying no status change i wanted to talk to ford directly to try and pry some information out of them. Got what I was hoping for lol. A glimmer of hope.

That’s the next specialty Bronco trim. The “Glimmer”.

maybe because like 99% of them dont want to talk to you. I have a 1% of those that do, but I still dont trust them to tell me in a timely manner that I got a VIN, unless they monitor WBDO, they dont know either.

They don't know and/or don't want to let on that they are a sub-par Ford dealer and have no allocations.

keep calling, just got my vin over the phone because apparently email system isn’t working.

what Ford number specifically did you call? can you share? I have not been getting the same good news..... I'll try another number

Called ford yesterday to chat about my order. #1 just to make sure it was still in there, and #2 to try to find some kind of answer as to when they think I might be getting a VIN/build date.

Keep in mind, I'm not a reservation holder. I placed a 2022 order in early November 2021. One of the 1st 5 orders for 2022s at the dealership I like to work with about a 90 minute drive from home.

I have a 22 race red badlands with every option but leather (lux, towing, hard top, etc) so pretty much every restrained item from the past.

The extremely nice gal from Ford said she had seen a ton (like thousands) of vins be issued in the last 7-10 days for vehicles very similarly spec'd as mine with those constrained items. Essentially all fully loaded broncos. It sounds like it's only a matter of time here (possibly weeks not months) before I get a VIN and build date. So we'll see...

Might have all been hot air, but figured I'd pass it along for those still painfully waiting. I'm only 5 months in here lol.

What number did you call?

I must be the 1% as my dealer told me my order was being previewed then scheduled and then gave me my VIN. I have purchased a few cars from the same guy and he gets really nice when you send him x-mas presents.

Just start answering your random SPAM calls, and ask them if you have a VIN yet.

You know what happens when 100s of customers call? They start to tell you what you want to hear

Got a less constrained Badlands ordered with a very early 7/14 res. it's going to be pretty messed up when you get scheduled before I do.

Well I got out of the way, but I would put money on my Raptor being built first. This rodeo sucks.

Maybe you’re that 1% because you deliver the Xmas presents in that skimpy elf costume.
