That’s crazy! Who do I talk to?
I have a reservation I tried to move from a willing dealer to another willing dealer and neither dealer nor ford can do it. What’s the secret?

At this point, I’d probably pay the $5k. I would certainly not be happy about it and since you have that friend at the dealer, maybe they can split the difference with you by giving you more on your trade in.
I would wait, because of the color alone. Love my Cyber Orange one, never would want a Cactus Grey one, don't care for that color at all.
Your dealer can't tell you where you are in line, there is no line. Even if they could tell you that you are order number x out of Y it would mean nothing. Main thing that counts is that Ford can build what you ordered and that you then fall into the dealer's allocations and that they want to build a bunch to ship into your area. I was 40 out of 80 reservations at my dealer and got mine way before they ever sold 40, just was lucky that Ford had the parts and all the rest of the logistics fell in place. Otherwise I'd still be waiting or would have gotten a Wrangler by now as I like them just as well.
If you don't need the 7pin connector for break controller, drop the tow package and get one after market, way cheaper and might just move you up a notch.

Unless there has been some change, we used to be able to just call Ford and have them move the reservation. The original dealer would refund your hundred dollars. But since you've ordered, you're in a different place. And I don't know about moving orders.

I already dropped tow from my reservation. The one at my dealer friend has it. Tow is nice but not a huge deal to me.

Especially with the Curt tow package that's being offered to get your under $200 for the hitch and the harness and it sounds like do it yourself.

$5K isn’t a bad markup compared to what we’ve seen elsewhere so I’d do it no hesitation.

Yeah, I'd say that your first move would be to call some other local dealers and see what your area pricing is. You may discover that no one is at MSRP anymore. And if not just relax and wait for your Bronco. You may want to stock up on whiskey for that lol I've been waiting for 10 months from when mine was first produced LOL and I'm now on unit number two since no one knows what happened to unit number one.
Or, if you can't wait and discovered that that 5000 / isn't so bad, go get it. If I had the cactus gray I would do what I've seen pictures of recently and wrap that growth in white. That's a sharp look. But I'm a soft top guy myself.

I wouldn't do it because I'm sold on the Cyber Orange Color.
I was in Moab last Saturday at the Toyota Cruise Moab Dinner. Here comes a Cyber Orange 4 Door Badlands, Sasquatch. The guy had a Toyota Sticker on the Hood. LOL
I told him I have been waiting 2 years for the Exact Same Bronco albeit a 2 door. I asked him if he reserved the Bronco? He said no. He walked into a dealership 3 weeks ago and bought it off the showroom floor. Someone backed out of their reservation so there it was.
I now have a Build week of May 23 and a VIN. No emails or anything from Ford yet.

Buy them BOTH! Keep the one you prefer and sell the other for more than ADM and put a couple thousand dollars in your pocket.

In hindsight, I wouldv'e been better off paying $5k over MSRP for my similar spec Badlands with MIC. The hard top is going to cost way more than that when available as an accessory, whenever that may be. Take the offer

63k for a Bronco is nuts. But go ahead and do it, otherwise someone else probably will. Sooner Ford burns through you guys, the sooner prices drop down to normal.
I sure hope you have a real use for the off-road capability though, else that's a lot of money to spend for play acting on pavement.
