crazy build times?

[MJ14]

I ordered February 2020, at that time I put $6000 down on the purchase

You ordered one before orders or 6th gen Broncos even existed? That's quite impressive. Especially since the ordering system didn't open until 2021. I know you’re frustrated but so as lots of others. Some people even ordered in January of 2021 before you and have nothing.

First day order, no build date here.

And reservations did not even begin until July of 2020 . . .

Ugh. I ordered mid December 2021. I’ll likely not get my 2-door OB with lux and tow until 2023 at this rate.

The best advice I can give you is to drop all expectations. You have thousands of people on this site that have tried to find rhyme and reason for what Ford is doing and no one has been successful.
So many build dates pushed with no expectations. It's extremely frustrating but it's not going to change anything. All is going to do is lower your quality of life while you wait.
This is coming from experience. I had a build date the 2nd week of June. I can't tell you how many times I got bumped until I finally got my Bronce the first week of Dec.
So much stress and frustration during that time and it didn't make my Bronco come any faster.
Just accept it is what it is and try not to stress too much when you get bumped...over and over and over.

P.s. I really am sorry. I understand your pain.

Seligman would call it Learned Helplessness. We're no better than lab animals.

Thanks, Ford.

Has anyone reported this to their respective states?

 

[andrusoid]

Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of being bumped for their build dates? My build date has been extended now twice , from Dec 18th 2021 to Feb 22nd 2022 to now April 22nd2022. I find it disturbing that there are new Broncos on the lot for sale and the one I have reserved since the first day, and ordered 13 months ago is not here. Has anyone reported this to their respective states? Seems wrong ...

You must have an option that is super contstrained.

I have completely given up. Second day reservation, early AM. Things were different when I placed the reservation. The repercussions of Covid were not yet happening- chip shortage, parts availability, rising gas prices, the economy, etc. No one knew what would happen. Everything is supply and demand and there are so few Broncos out there with so many of us still waiting that the only way to get one is to pay the ADM. It's bad enough to want one, pay the ADM, pay for the extra for the rising prices of the economy, etc. It's just a bad time- for me anyway. With the rising prices of everything, I can no longer afford mine- even without ADM. So now the decision is when it finally comes in next year- do I leave it at the dealers or take the risk there will still be some demand and I can make a few hundred on it by selling it to a person really passionate about one. At least I have only put down the reservation fee of $100. I really feel for some of you that have put down more than that and are in this long waiting game.

cry me a river OP , most are in the same boat. covid, chips, worker shortage, politics , ford themselves , dealers , allocations screw ups , , name it , its all happening.
now go take your place in line and hurry up and wait as the rest of us are doing

 

[Kdk12]

Why are so many defending ford? They really could have done much better. This many having to wait so long whilst others just jump in and order without a reservation and get theirs sooner is absolute bullshit, if you ask me.

Yup, bottom line is it's a bad time to buy almost anything. Houses, broncos, refrigerators, furniture, you name it...

Don't let the wait blind you to the people who are most important in your life. Enjoy your time with them because it's so damn finite.

My young daughters won't be young forever, I won't let Ford own my headspace for years during the wait. The bronco will come when it comes.

I got bumped to 2025.

Both of my local dealers are crooks and AFTER I switched to a dealer I could trust, Ford changed their allocation formula and "bumped" me to 2025.

I know it's frustrating for your build date to get bumped, but at least you have a 2022 build date. There are still a ton of us who will not get a Bronco for another year or two unless we want to go to a local dealer and pay $10k-$20k ADM.

 

[keenanbronco1964]

Ouch!!! ... ok, forgive me for not letting you vent ... you deserve it. I did MSRP +$1200, with $2000 down. Lead with that next time? Much greater sympathy factor - hope no more bumps in your future!!

according to my dealer just the $100 for the reservation does not put you in line you have to order a specific model.

that is what

that is what they said so I modified the order to alleviate that, changed models had to switch colors dropped some options. After that they said it should be first of the 22 year... thats not happening
