CURRENT CONSTRAINTS (July 12, 2022) and Customer Phone Line Tips

[broncoj11]

As a day two (July 14, 2020) reservation holder and early (January 2021, re-ordered October 2021) order holder, I wanted to check on the status of my order, particularly whether it was "unscheduled clean" or "unscheduled balanced"

"Clean" means there is nothing preventing the order from being scheduled, ASSUMING the parts are expected to be on hand in that particular week. "Balanced" means the order will be pushed to the next model year.

I called, and told the rep, "I'm checking on the status of my Bronco order, and I have the Sales Code and Preview Order Number. I'd like to know if the current status is 'unscheduled clean' or 'unscheduled balanced'." I said nothing else, no emotion, no small talk, just let him do his job.

(NOTE: The Sales Code and Preview Order Number are on the Build Sheet you should have from your dealer. Providing this info rather than the Reservation Number seemed to convince him I was an informed customer, rather than a starry-eyed newbie. Whatever the reason, this call was blessedly devoid of marketing chit-chat.)

He quickly got back to me to report my status was "Unscheduled Clean." He confirmed that my original 1/21 order converted to "Unscheduled Balanced" once it was moved to a 2022 model.

I then asked about current constraints, and he confirmed the following, all considered Constraints as of today, July 12, 2022:


WILDTRAK
BADLANDS
2-door
Hardtop
2.7 motor
Sasquatch Package
Lux Package
Modular Bumper
Tow Package

I then specifically enquired about the 7MT transmission, and he confirmed that is *not* a constraint.

I hope this is helpful to others!

Alright I have some news. I called, I’m unscheduled clean. Rep asked me where did I hear to ask bc they have fielded a ton of calls for that exact question. I asked if it was still true the ford is going to build all 2022 orders (other than mod top etc) by the end of the calendar year, he said yes. I then asked if I was safe to assume I’d take delivery in Q1 of 2023, and he said no, we mean build and delivered by the end of 2022. I know it’s still not an OFFICIAL email from ford, but boy I’m fired up!!!!!!!!!!

So basically the same list it's always been?

 

[Hudman316]

I have 7 of those constraints.

My Wildtrak is “built / on plant hold” waiting on 2 Lux parts.

I'm swimming in the 5 pool... But also in the not enough allocation pool. Big dealer with a gazillion orders.

I try not to hassel John that much, so I bother the Ford Chat instead, but in this case I did email him to see what his thoughts were.

Blackcat, I'm a day two reservation holder who got switched to a '22. My dealership is also Stephens so my question is "do I just call John and ask him where I stand on the list of waiting Bronco orders?"

You guys know there is a shared excel spreadsheet with all of our (SAC) orders on it right? It'll show you where you are at in line. Head over to the SAC thread. Somebody just shared it again a day or two ago. Don't forget to fill in your data

I have 6 out of 9 of the constraints. Ugh

 

[Treeza61]

I believe someone left out tow pkg.

It’s on there.

 

[OrlandoOBX]

I also have six and I haven’t put in my order yet., i was trying to plan it so I would get it next August or September, Hello MY24

Don't give me hope...

I'm not very versed on all of the sales stuff but generally they send out an email when no more changes can be made. They can't take new orders for '22, still have the ability to build/schedule broncos and have not capped any options that I'm aware of. At some point they may BO on a certain paint like desert sand/terrain on EG but the stuff still unscheduled-clean and not 99 still has a chance. Not sure when they'll shut the door but my guess is many dealers will be rolling a bunch over to '23, especially 2D folks.

I asked my dealer about my order and was told unscheduled clean, so good. Also said (I know, I know) last day to change order is 8/25/22, for anyone thinking about dropping a constraint.

Good to know, I can't stop 2nd guessing my color choice & figured I'd handle that when MY23 orders go out.

 

[John Auer]

Nice, I have 4 of 7. When do the order banks open for 2024?

Got you beat, I’ve got 6 on the list. ‘25MY?

 

[dingle87]

I think I'll end up with 2 on that list when I take my order out of 99 status this year (Tow and Hardtop-4dr). I better be careful, I might end up with a Bronco sooner than I was thinking. LOL

 

[Compta38]

so basically everything that's desirable on a Bronco...
