Can dealers order units for their customers in whatever order they choose.

Not going to lie.....I got in late....and am willing to bribe my dealer. Can dealers allow customers to jump the line if they have a reservation number?

You might get ahead if that's the case. But if this was the case (I don't believe it is, and certainly not for Res after Sept. 18) then every long term reservation would be subject to a bidding war to determine delivery date. Bad for customers across the board.

If that happens' you can have my spot because I'm done with Ford. You might however get to pick up a no-buyer off the lot before your order arrives. Keep in touch with your dealer if that's your plan. It will likely cost ya few (5?) thousand atop MSRP.

Furthermore, res date is only part of the delivery time formula. Options seem to be equally impactful. (If not more impactful in the case of ManSquatch)

The answer is that the dealers do have that power. It is dealer to dealer on if/how they use it.

It’s not a simple answer, but here’s the full explanation: Yes. ?

If I'm not misunderstanding the question.... I'm going to say NO!! Ford determines when you will get yours by your reservation number which has all the info ford needs. Based upon their rules and parts on hand.

Do you really think a January (or October for that matter) can bribe their way into a 2021 MY?

Dealer orders are only part of what determines when a Bronco is built. I don’t think Ford would do that because it screws up the whole system.

Dealers can prioritize.....and you can buy whatever you want with enough money, certainly can buy a favor from a dealer to put you up front of you want to pony up.

A dealer will have nothing to do with the order in which Broncos are built and delivered. It would also be a shit practice on the part of the buyer, dealer and Ford to even consider it. It's called "you snooze, you lose".

Man the nonsense threads about how to get my bronco faster, how to cut in line and now how to bribe my dealer...
Good friggin grief...

No. You can order anytime during order period. It's not first come first served. Will be determined by your build and res#

No, but you could probably find a dealer to sell or loan you one of their 2 demo units if you have unlimited resources. Despite a few dealers that claim otherwise on this forum, Ford has said that unlike traditional retail or stock orders, Ford alone will determine scheduling of converted reservations.

Dealers can prioritize....

The software has always been there to do it...but prioritization by a dealer isn't the message Ford has communicated about the Bronco. In fact, just the opposite.

Would it really be that hard for Ford to communicate how the process REALLY works to the pleebs? Or is this so clandestine that the end customer doesn't deserve the right to know?

Why even bother setting up this reservation system if all your going to do is 'allotment' and 'prioritize' your way around a first come - first serve process?

I was even asked today if my Ford account name matches my "real" name. He said there may be problems if someone created an online account that doesn't match the name of the person ordering or picking up the vehicle. He made it sound like Ford put the fear of gawd into them, that the orders better match the reservations or they'll all end up on an island of brimstone and fire. My dealer isn't willing to play around at all.

NO for a $1000
