Maybe, the overall bigger problem is too many trim levels are being offered. Should have been big bend, badlands and outer banks from the beginning. Year or years later in production line they could have added more trim levels.

Forgot Bronco emblem, matching components, hoods without dents, flawless Badlands wheels, random missing parts and floor mats that don't say "Raptor"...and this from ~ 10-days ago - again 2Dr is additional constraint to the hardtop constraint

It's a very frustrating process. I took a drive by my local FORD dealer just to see what I could see and boy was I surprised. The dealer has been very easy to work with and generously got me into a couple of demos for test drives. They even got me into a 2.3 MT which was great. So other than FORD not yet building my BRONCO I don't have any complaints. What surprised me was the number of BRONCOS on the lot and apparently for sale including this nifty 2DR.After a conversation with my dealer (Granger), I was told I was number 798 in line of an allocation of 200 Broncos for 2022. They even suggested I move my order to another dealer or change my order to a bare bones unit. Not acceptable. I have looked all around my state and talked to many other dealers. Why would I jump to the back of the line? Not to mention the bullsh*t ADMs and other nefarious dealer scams I have encountered. I am very seriously considering taking my 60k and putting it into my 89 EB Bronco, and have moneyto spare.

I originally made this post to vent about my beef with Ford Motor Company and their botched release of the Bronco, and all the greedy dealerships taking advantage of the situation. I never had a problem with @Granger Ford . They have been nothing but helpful and are just as perplexed as myself with Ford's handling of this fuster-cluck. I appreciate everyone's comments, for or against my opinion. Thanks for all the support, suggestions, and even criticisms. Congratulations to all those who have their trucks and good luck to all of us still waiting. Looks like I'm just gonna hang in there with fingers crossed. In the meantime, I got some wrenches to turn...

EB means Early Bronco, not Eddie Bauer.Yes it is. Appears you are misinformed.
Very true. Many two doors have been built for non reservation holders, who just walked in and ordered.
It does upset me to see this, as a 7/15/2020 reservation. Ford is not trying to prioritize reservations, they are going allocations.

Seeing as how I, and lots of other owners, used it to describe the trim level, it does. The fact that I listed the year as 1989, should have been all you needed to know that I wasn't claiming it to be an "Early Bronco". I refer to the 1st generation as Classic Bronco. But, I digress. Nice try though...

For the record EB could also stand for Eco Boost. 
Just like everyone calls the Sasquatch package a SAS and to me, an avid off-roader for many years, SAS stands for Solid Axle Swap. Everyone has their own version. meh.

I specifically asked for the desert protection not to be added and my sales guy just told me to come pick it up tomorrow because they had to add tint etc…Depends on where you are. The two dealers in my city (who are brothers-in-law) both say MSRP, but add on a whole bunch of mandatory bullshit like the "Desert Protection Package" and other unneccessary cheap garbage. And it is not just hundreds of dollarsof add-ons, but a thousand or two.
But my biggest reason to want to buy with Granger was how honest and helpful they are. When I first reserved a Bronco with one of the two local dealers, they wouldn't give me the time of day. And the other one? They hosted the two Broncos and acted like they were annoyed so many people were in their showroom.
Ford changing the allocation formula just made a bunch of loyal Granger customers buy Jeeps while they wait.

Congrats, think i'm going to call my dealer tomorrow and drop the tow package. Already have the Ram and any real towing will be done by that.
