Help me make sense of this please..

[Wookiee]

So I called my dealer today, along the South Carolina coast, and he finally informed me that our order is 7/64 and that 0 have received VINS. He mentioned that he had spoken to his “regional” rep and he said to expect “good” news on June 7…As posted in another group it was mentioned that “regional” allocations are a thing. Do you think the June 7th”good news” is related to the info yesterday saying that dealers had to have orders in by than? Do you think it pertains to the southeast region? I have no idea how ford divides up the regions. Just kinda curious

Regional allocations would make sense to me for shipping logistics. Sucks being in the PNW for this. We can't even get any dealer mannequins.

This would be very weird. I’m in West Tennessee and my dealer has a similar ~70 allocations for ‘21. Ten of them have received VIN’s.

PNW demos weren’t even suppose to show until mid-June.

Hmmm, I haven’t even heard of dealers having mannequins down my way either. Just a little more confusion to go along with everything else..

Just sounds like another dealer that knows jack shit and just talking out of his ass

I’m sure there is some ‘regional’ consideration in allocations but I would guess the individual dealer allocation # plays a bigger role. Stephens has 108 allocated and already 50 have VINs.

Ok, thank you for the USEFUL information, just kind of curious though, where is Stephens

Stephens is in West Virginia, they offered a great deal ($1000 below invoice) and got a lot of takers/reservations. Great dealer, very transparent and communicate a lot with their reservation people. They have 120+ page thread going here under order/reservations.

Nice to hear some positives about dealerships

My dealer knew and informed me a week before the email.

Interesting. My dealer also told me to look forward to June 7th but I'm in California.

Ford doesn’t like us in the south especially those people in Texas.

Why you say that? We had 2 Broncos in North TX for 10 days straight with no registration viewing process. We are the only ones outside of Moab to see the 4wp, ARB and the Ford "Iron Man" build in person. Dealers here are getting their allotted builds and I even know a guy that has 2 VIN's already.

Informed you about the “June 7th” date?
