Ford's official email letter about getting bumped to 2023 model year

[mcinfantry]

Why would you want to push it to a 2023 and pay $4000 more?

I wanted at the time to see what the Oates is/was
I’ve changed jobs and will probably put 50 miles a month on whatever I drive

so is it really saving $4000

I was the point person for our NY/NJ/CT group buy, as a result of the 90 extra deals my dealer was the #2 store in their zone and was awarded an additional Raptor allocation, which they offered to me. There were 6 GTs before me.

Wow, glad to see your efforts were appreciated by your dealer. Congrats! Hey. Keep me in mind the next time you help coordinate a group buy!...lol

so did 2023 order banks reopen today for the reservation holders? I'd love to put in another bronco order when it opens for everyone but who knows when that will be.

I put an order in around the beginning of 2022, and did not have a reservation before then. My order is for a loaded Badlands and I am priority 10 at a top volume dealership. Are you telling me that if someone converts a 2 year old reservation to an order right now, they jump in front of me in the queue? Given a reservation is simply the right to place an order, seems illogical to me that a reservation holder's late order would jump in front of all existing holders of an actual order... but I've been wrong plenty of times before! (and still don't have my bronco lol)

Absolutely, a rez would be moved in front of you. And they should, as that was one of the main points of doing the rez to start with. However, you should know and understand the actual process fully worked. Everyone had the chance to rez up until right before the first order banks opened in 2021. Once the first order banks (to order the 2021) opened, reservations stopped. Everyone that reserved up to that point had to convert that rez to an order by the end of March in 2021.

So when you hear someone say they had a rez, then that means they were fully ahead of anyone that didn't rez.

If he rezzed, then he wouldn't pay $4k more...he would've been price locked in.

Holding out hope until I get the rollover email!!!

His signature says he is a October 21 Walk in order.

And it's "Reserved before the Magical cutoff of 19 March". Tens of thousands of reservation holders got screwed over by Ford's retroactive arbitrary cutoff.

I spoke with a customer service representative today who said dealers will need to convert all current orders, not scheduled for production, on the 15th. She said there should be "private offers" (price protection) for those being converted. I'll be reaching out to my dealer on the 15th.

No date has yet been published for new retail orders, but if someone really wants, they can probably get a dealer to configure one of their stock orders to your liking. This would circumvent the "No new retail orders" edict from Ford.

Let's face it, there never has been an "order" of priority that has been followed. Anyone getting frustrated by someone else getting an order submitted without a reservation, etc., is just subjecting themeslves to stress they can't control short of canceling or abandoning their reservation based order. The reservation process has been, and will continue to be, a boondoggle...lol.

The only way Ford could "fix" this process would be to halt all stock orders as well, and start with the oldest reservation and build what that person wants, then the next oldest, and so on. And this will never happen, so we're all at the mercy of Ford and the dealers unless we cancel.

I don't think the original process did "fully work". There are still day one reservation holders who haven't received their Bronco. My day 6 or 7 reservation that was converted to an order March 19, 2021, has still not been scheduled. I am confidant there have been numerous identical builds produced and delivered, possibly even orders placed and Broncos delivered by my own dealer, that were ordered way after 03/19/21 without the purchaser ever having had a reservation, including BRaptors.

No new retail orders also stipulated that dealer stock orders would be limited to certain trims and options - so as not to further constrain resources for existing higher end trim orders.

I too received the dreaded email, however I chatted with Ford yesterday and it shows I have two orders. One for 2022 and one for 2023. This is the first time I've heard of this. Can someone help explain it to me?

Reservations weren't cut off until August of last year.

Correct
My June reservations were not helpful in any way
Not in getting built
Not in price protection
I’ll make a post about all of my thoughts when I do pick mine up and it does/does not have what it is supposed to

 

[BroncoLolli]

Does anyone just not get emails from Ford? I had received the first email that I had an order placed and it showed me the little mockup image of the build. But nothing since? The order is not linked to my account online? I can ask ford chat and they can search it for me using my order number and dealer number but other than that nothing? I feel like I should be getting them because even my salesman on occasion has been like oh yeah you got that email right? And I’m like what email? That’s why I’m bugging my dealer all the time for information. I was a walk in order in early January of this year.

Same!! I ordered November 1st, 2021.

 

[JeffL]

according to ford chat my now 2023 bronco is "unscheduled clean"

I haven't converted the order yet but would assume it's safe to say 2022 is not in my cards.
