They will not announce all build dates at once. They will flow out as parts availability shifts. I expect the first wave of build dates about a month before production starts.
I'm not sure how Ford sees it. But an argument could be made that, if one chooses not to place the order during the first window, that person shouldn't be able to just cherry pick a year and get priority over those that actually put money down to place an order, especially if the B&P was available on reservation day one. That would be kinda like making a restaurant reservation, not showing up and going to that restaurant the following night and expecting a seat. Early reservation holders reserved a 21 Bronco, not a 22, 23...and on and on. I only see Ford moving orders to a 22 model because they won't be able to fulfill the actual order before they move production to another model year....and now you're next up to get your bronco and second now...
....Then the MY22 model year change happens, and even though you were up next, 1 submits their order.
Now 1 is next up, and you are back in line.
Once they get their bronco, (and anyone else who was before you in line who now has an order submitted) then you're up again.
Crystal?
Sure, it could very well be a "block of orders" as evidenced by the statements Ford has made that anyone not submitting their order by the March deadline will be blocked out of the first quarter... so that lends credence to the notion that they will be scheduling as much as 3 months out, so if you jump in with your early reservation, you'll be waiting at least that long to re enter the queue.
That analogy doesn't work either. Sure number #8 goes in first. But, if you get to the door and say "no thanks, I like tomorrow's menu better". You would need to make a new reservation for the next evening. Doesn't really matter what the chefs are doing as they are just cooking orders in the order they are placed.
I'm still on that beverage bet. But, we need a dealer that would actually tell us as it happened.If you're 5 you don't have to worry what 6 is doing.
What would matter is if you were #5, but #1 decided to hold off for a MY22...
2 gets their bronco... then 3, then 4...
...and now you're next up to get your bronco and second now...
....Then the MY22 model year change happens, and even though you were up next, 1 submits their order.
Now 1 is next up, and you are back in line.
Once they get their bronco, (and anyone else who was before you in line who now has an order submitted) then you're up again.

I can’t even remember what we bet on... so I’m willing to concede you won.
I have only seen this in a "my dealer said" type thread - has anyone seen this directly from Ford?
From Ford supplied update to the dealer:
Perusing that thread again I see the OP is a dealer and got that info directly from Ford. Sounds pretty ironclad - I wi ask my dealer specifically about this as well.From Ford supplied update to the dealer:

OR, The restaurant hands me a menu, I would like to order the steak (body color top like Ford offered on 7/13). Then the waiter tells me "we cannot cook you a steak until tomorrow". No problem I'll see you tomorrow (2022).
Yes. You do. Think about it. How many times have you been to a restaurant that was out of something on the menu or the menu items were different that what they had on their online menu? Happens all the time. I’ve never been told by the waiter, hostess, etc., “Hey, we’ll bump a customer tomorrow night to make sure you get in”. Have you ever had a restaurant move your reservation to another night because someone from the previous night bumped you?
