Hi everyone. So I’ve been trying to order a 2022 Wildtrak 4 Door for 10 weeks now. I ended up going through another dealer since my personal dealer for 20+ years couldn’t get it done… all good, but he emailed me saying:
“I was told by our inventory manager that I can put your Bronco in the order bank but the reality is that it will probably never be built. Unfortunately, there are so many orders in the bank already with no capacity to fulfill all the orders. I was told that the best way to get one is either to find one in stock if you can or wait for a year until the backlog is cleared up.”
He also said that without a deposit, I’d have to wait for a 2023 or 2024.
“I could be wrong but based on what I’m hearing, I’d wait for the 2023. They are so backlogged that I don’t think your order would go anywhere and it would be pointless to shell out $500 and have no end in sight.”
At that point I decided to go with another dealer… I still have my Lightning on order with him which is fine, but I was wondering why he said this. Is this true?
