Dealer Allocation vs Trim/Options vs Reservation Timestamp

[da_jokker]

For months we have all been talking about our Reservation timestamp and what that means. Then Came the Dealer Allocation, and now the Delays depending on your selection.

I'm just trying to sort out in simple terms for myself (and maybe others) which of these have the largest impact (aka ranking from top to bottom)

I mean if I have a day 1 Reservation (which I don't) but want a Bronco with Sasquatch, and A dealer to which I'm at their 40% Allocation bracket.... does my Reservation even mean anything?

Just guessing here but seems like

Trim/Option - largest c-blocker.. other 2 don't mean crap If Ford doesn't have Parts.

Allocations - just under, because if your dealer has 100 first day reservations, but yours was +1 outside their allotment, your still going home alone.

Reservation - the least of them all. You could easily beat out earlier Reservations and cut in line if your Trim and Dealer selection works in you favor.

Anyone see it differently?

Seems legit.

where's the missing poll?

But seriously, if your order is of stuff readily available, and the guy's before you isn't, you get yours first assuming you both fall inside the allocation limit. Choose wisely.

You forgot about margin. Constrained parts are likely go to trims with higher margins at a higher rate than those with lower margins. E.G. Sasquatch parts are more likely to go to FE/WildTrak/BL than a basesquatches

God I hope you are right... but that makes to much sense which clearly is not Ford's forte

This, everyone is forgetting Ford needs to show a lot of revenue and doing this early, with any available 2.7s and Sas parts will help them.

Isn't that Kia's Forte?

Bingo, this is called creative accounting and with Fords share price on the rise, you best believe this is what they will be doing

So I guess that’s why they are pushing the 4dr model and keeping the 2dr models for later

Mall-squatch to the rescue!

mass assumption that everyone reserving one actually orders one.
