First Edition Reservation Holders - Good News/Bad News

[Zach@Granger]

Which one do you want first?

The Bad News - First Edition doesn't necessarily mean you'll get your Bronco produced first. This has been discussed before, but I'll reiterate this. The first 7,000 reservation holders for the Bronco are not all First Editions. Other trims were reserved. Also, the first 7,000 units produced are not going to be First Editions. They will be mixed in with other trims. We received a large amount of First Editions reservations (50+) and it looks like only 1 will be scheduled in the first production cycle for us. I don't believe we are an outlier. I would anticipate most of those to be produced in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th month of production.

The Good news - We had a First Edition this morning that got moved to priority code 01. Which can only be done by a Ford employee, not anyone at the dealership. This order that got pulled and will be scheduled for production shortly is a First Edition with Black interior. So it doesn't look like the black interior is a late availability item any longer.

The *Not So* First Edition.

It's exciting to see things moving along each day.

I will be beyond stoked if black interior is no longer late availability!

Either way I'm sure I'll be waiting longer than most for mine....Alaska problems

That is Fantastic news.
Thank You for the information Zach!

Who is the lucky FE? I got two chances!!!

Isn’t it a bit early to be making this type of conclusion? My understanding was that the orders being produced in the first month will be pulled over a 2 week period that STARTS today/tomorrow?

This is awesome news for anyone with this config

Dealers know their allocation numbers for the first cycle already, and part of that is how many FE they are getting.

I guess this makes sense, my dealer told me the allocation number they were given was not inclusive of FE orders though, which is probably not accurate

 

[Ripcurl]

Its the first year edition, not necessarily first out the door, sounds somewhat logical

Not just for FE orders, will everyone get an email from Ford even if they don't make the first quarter allocation at their dealership?

If your dealer isn’t @Zach@Granger or @DealerInsider or a couple other ones on the forum... I probably wouldn’t listen to anything they say... just sayin

Thanks for sharing Zach. Good to hear you (dealers) now know how many FEs are part of that first batch.
