The dealership called me today to make an appointment to come in and go over the specifications for my new Bronco! I couldn't go this week due to conflicts, so I'm going next week. They said I would have to make a $500 deposit this time.

I'm new to all of this, so any advice would be appreciated.

You have a week then to go through this site. There is a wealth of information. We don't know what specific advice you need.

$500 is a reasonable deposit. Weeds out the tire kickers. You have 2 months to convert, but if you're set on your build, get it over with...

My dealership called today. No rush to come in. Didn't ask for anything down. Let me know approximated where I'm slotted, how many reservations they had (90) and how many they were allocated (29).

I'm ordering a Wildtrak. I've been following the site for 3-4 years. I'm just not very knowledgeable on vehicles, and I don't have anyone to ask (father passed away and only have an ex-hubs). I read all the posts. I just don't want to get taken advantage of at the dealership or get something that I don't need.

Planning on a lot of travel in it. Going with the 2 door because my girls are getting older. Hoping the towing capacity will be enough to pull an old airstream I've been working on. Love going to the Outer Banks and would love to take it out on the beach there. I'm not planning on doing anything ridiculous with it. I wish I could get a white top, but from what I follow, that won't be possible until the 2022.

Don’t let your dealer rush you into placing your order, you have until the 19 of March to place your order.

Tow capacity is 3500lbs, good luck with an old Airstream, especially with a 2 door model.

Talked to my dealer as well, +400 reservations, and roughly 100 allocated. No money down. Put my order in on the phone. Very easy process

So, your dealer is asking for $500 down, then Ford is asking for $500 when they start your build. Am I interpreting all that correctly?

Will it change where I am in line if I wait closer the the March deadline?
