Yep you got me. I (and countless others) have just been here on the forum lying about not having a Bronco yet after reserving 9/20 (or earlier) and ordering every time the banks have opened.

I'll one up you. I haven't even ordered a Bronco, but I love misery, so I pretend that I did.

They all reserved with Granger. I didnā€™t which is why I have had mine since October.

**runs and hides**
Can you explain this Granger debacle to me? I've seen to many posts about it.

Is it time for another one of these posts again? Didn't we just have one last month? They are usually once a quarter.

Well I am sitting on one of those week one reservations and still waiting. You apparently got little dealers getting screwed and ones with lots of orders like Granger getting screwed. I converted to order and rolled over to MY22 pretty much as soon as available.

I did order a second bronco late November of 21 at a different dealer than my first and that Bronco was built a month ago but doesn't seem to want to get on a truck to my dealer.

What the two dealers say which differ may be telling. Dealer one says they can't have a written sales agreement without a VIN and won't commit. Dealer two generated a written sales agreement when I placed the order and said they needed to send to ford to verify it as a sale. Dealer one says there is no need and won't even make those steps. The bronco from dealer 2 is the that got built but I admit that second order is a base with only it being 2 door and hard top as constraint. The other order has that plus manual and squach as constraints. I am afraid dealer one will suddenly ask for big ADM when it finally gets built.

You tell me...wife has day one res and used it for raptor. There has been two or three raptor build weeks announced and she still has no build date. So if itā€™s happening even as recently as raptor release I have no doubt day one res and day one orderers are still waiting.

Maybe Iā€™m missing something, but how could people REALLY have first week Res and no Bronco? Are they lying? Have they not converted to an order? Did they dealership just sell it and not tell them? With so many people (me being one) get a Bronco 4 months after walk in order, they have to be full of crapā€¦.
you are clearly missing something. most likely brain cells.

Can you explain this Granger debacle to me? I've seen to many posts about it.
Back when Ford had stated that reservations were to be built in order of timestamp it was assumed that dealership allocations would not be a factor. Granger Ford, a smaller dealer from Iowa, made a business decision to accumulate as may Bronco orders as possible by offering a below invoice pricing model. In doing so, they were able to accumulate around 1500 reservations. Shortly thereafter, large dealerships complained to Ford that Granger had to many orders and were stealing their business. Ford then decided to put forth an allocation formula that, while not necessary penalized Granger, didn't exactly favor them and all their orders. Ford again modified the formula for MY22 that further hindered Granger from fulfilling all their orders. As such, it is speculated that it will take a number of years for Granger to clear their backlog of orders.

Now, there are a couple of different outlooks on the forum regarding this situation, 1. Granger customers got screwed by Ford, and 2. Granger customers should have known better. It tends to be a very polarizing topic.

It should also be noted that Albert (God rest his soul) at Granger Ford was an early and invaluable contributor to the forum and provided an abundance of information regarding the Bronco and ordering. Zach, the owner of Granger, has since taken up that mantle and continues to provide insight on the ordering process.

My brother reserved the same day (day 2), same dealer, and same build other than I had a soft top. I was built in October 2021 and he still doesn't have a build date. I believe it's the MIC top.

So on an open forum no one can ask questions? Noted.
Youā€™re purposefully exaggerating. They clearly never said you canā€™t ask questions. You, on the other hand, pretty clearly assumed their values and went on a multi-paragraph tirade about those assumed values.

Be excellent to each other.

Wow... Granger has more pull than I thought they did. I didn't realize they had 10,000+ reservations and live in the minds of every Bronco order holder. Well done @Zach@Granger!
We're actually down to only 888 that need to have a Vin assigned now. :)

Yeah, what are these suckas waiting for or lying about? Maybe some are not in a rush? Waiting for the production process learning curve to be smoothed out? Waiting for preferred parts like modular tops, Mic tops, tow package and CHIPS?

just got my production week, 7/15/20, <72 hours, res... and I leapfrogged about 50 people with earlier res's at Stephens, only constraints I had were 2-door and 4A which worked in my favor. I feel a twinge of guilt but damn my current daily is holding on by a thread so it's a God send for me.
