Dealer contacts me for new 2023 order and I told him I thought order banks weren’t open yet. He tells me they are and instructs me to send my build. Upon emailing him the build he replies,

I received your build. Ford is not letting me print out a preview of your official build on my end right now. As soon as I can send it your way, I will so you can verify and we can get the Bronco ordered.

What questions should I ask to try to figure out what’s going on? Is he placing the order as dealer stock and just not telling me or is he taking it as a preorder and holding until the order banks open?

This dealer isn’t known to be particularly terrible so I’m curious how I should approach it.

Pre-order. Ford has not yet made a decision on when to open the banks to the public and doesn't plan on doing so until late Q4.

Edit. Assumption made that Op is placing a brand new walk-in order.

I mean there's really no way to know, I would inquire or wait and see... The order banks are not open for new orders so he is either altering an existing order or doing something as a placeholder until the banks open up.... suppose a stock order is possible too.

Ordering for '23 is open, you might want to read thru the FAQs:

https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...onco-order-holder-frequently-asked-questions/

I'm taking it that you had a reservation or at least a prior walk in order for '22 so you can either update or keep your order for '23.

I'm sure a few more knowledgeable folk will step in and give you some advice.

Edit - if you're a walk in for '23 then no, not open yet; prior order or reservation then yes, it's open. Which are you?

Ordering is open if:
1- you already had an order, or
2 - you had a reservation you somehow never got around to converting

General ordering is not open. No date set, but "late Q4 ish"

So, if the OP does not fit category 1 or 2, it's probably a pre-order, or if he want's a 4-door squishy top then a dealer lot order he is simply earmarking for him.

Yeah I asked for a 2 door badlands sas so I’m guessing preorder. I think I’ll just wait a few weeks and follow up with him.

Brand new order banks are not open yet. Possibly 4th quarter.
It would be nice if they could give existing orders build dates before opening the banks up again.

I have seen a lot of people getting build dates in several Facebook Bronco groups.

They are probably queuing up orders at the dealer. Ford is not letting anyone put anything through right now unless you were a 21 or 22 order that didn't get built. Those all were converted to 2023 orders that dealers can finalize prior to the general order banks opening.

last year when the my22 order banks opened when my dealer called I told them I would email them exactly what I wanted just to make sure there were no hiccups. I just put everything in writing so there's nothing lost in translation because it was verbal over the phone. got my DORA... signed off... got my bronco in Jan and have been enjoying it ever since. Good Luck and hope you get your bronco in production soon!!!

Dealer updated my reservation to an order yesterday. Got email from Ford saying my order has been confirmed. Dealer said 4-6 months but I'm guessing 6-9 months.

Converted my reservation on 9/30/2022, dealer gave me a similar schpeel. Said it could be Dec, or a year from now. 6 Days later I received my build schedule email. I think I just got lucky being at a small dealership.
