Getting Despondent

[Roger123]

Call 1-800-334-4375, wait a few minutes to chat with someone and have your name, email, and order # (should have been provided by your dealer) ready and they'll be able to tell you any relevant info.

I called that number today (she verified my address and email) and the lady told me I'd get an email from Ford when they were going to build my car. Ok, thanks, goodbye.

Yea they've changed their response, I had been calling pretty much every week and now it's just "Order in Processing, please wait for an email"

So > 100K reservations in the first couple of days, A global economic shutdown and commodity shortages and your losing interest because of the delays. Feel free to cancel at anytime.

This is such a low effort, dick post.

People are upset mainly because Ford will not tell us even what year our early reservation orders might be made in. It’s not unreasonable to be unhappy with yet another major corporation leaving it’s customers on read.

Day 2 res here, 4-door Black Diamond 2.7 with MIC and tow package. My reservation is with a smaller local dealer, which initially I thought might be to my advantage but am now wondering if it was a mistake not to go with a larger dealer with a larger allocation despite a larger number of reservations. I still have ZERO idea when I should expect delivery. My dealer can't (won't?) even tell me where I sit in their allocation lineup. I've heard nothing from Ford aside from the mass "we're trying" email that everyone received. I currently have a 2016 Durango R/T that I would love to unload while used car values are so high. But I have no clue how long I would have to get by with one fewer vehicle in the household. Two months? Six months? A year? It's the complete lack of clarity that is so frustrating. I've done many factory orders in the past (I want what I want, not what's sitting on the dealer lot), including my current Durango, as well as a 2005 Mini Cooper that was in high-demand and required a long-ish wait. But in that situation I had a clear picture of when I would get the vehicle. But not so with the Bronco. Frankly I'm starting to lose interest. I used to read this forum religiously, excitedly sucking up every drop of new information. But now those drops are becoming less frequent, there seems to be no additional clarity around the situation overall, and it's getting difficult to remain excited and positive about this new vehicle. It's been nearly a year since we all watched the launch video. It's not the wait that's killing me, but the utter lack of information. It's depressing, honestly. How many are in my situation?

Same here I ordered mine 8 hrs after it started havent heard a thing .Strange that others with a later date (same build with more options )have thiers...

What were they telling you before the change?

There's a sucker born every minute? The Bronco reservation scheme is about sales/marketing strategy as much as anything else. But wait, there's more. Reserve your F150 Lightning and Maverick. Hurry, before it's too late!

Bingo! They did it to generate a prospective buyers list and had the folks on it pay for the privilege!

Your reservation explicitly stated it was to ensure you were able to order a 2021 Bronco. Not that you would get one (note that they are still taking reservations to order a 2021 Broncos as of this date and you can order away)

The order banks opened just like with any other existing vehicle, people ordered, the orders were pulled, and people wait. There was zero need for reservations, folks could have done as their fathers, grandfather's, and great grandfathers have done for the last 100 years and ordered at the dealer in January. No reservation information was used in that process.

People don't see it, they actually use the word 'ordered' when talking about the reservation date, so they are mentally blind to reality about the process.

Build week estimate changes. All of the dates (except the first) came from calling them, not from email

Cry me a River Pal. I hope this lives up to your post description
