HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE?!?!

[LarryBirdsFace]

Can we all stop trying to find some kind of pattern or logic to this totally illogical situation Ford has created? We don't know, they don't know, nobody knows when your number gets drawn. People think they know, and have seemingly very good knowlege of allocations and ordering and then 9 people will come into a thread and poke holes in every seemingly good theory.

WE DON'T KNOW.

It seems very random, and sometimes, it's ok to say "we don't know, it's random"

That's easy, because Ford screwed over small dealers in favor of shitty big volume dealers.

Ironically I ordered through a small dealer and got mine as well as all the reservation holders there. A friend at a dealer with 600 reservations just now got his last week. We reserved at the same time July 13th

But dat's no fun.

Have a 4/11 build date and there are a few others in my group that have a 7/14 Reservation. I also placed a $1400 deposit with my dealer over 13 months ago. My Bronco is in production limbo now. Never changed my build. Its clear that the Reservation system is a hoax. There are 3 Bronco's in my neighborhood, and I always see one or two when I am driving around mostly soft tops.

My guess is anyone with like Badlands/WT or a Lux package will be stuck in limbo until the parts situation is semi-dealt with. This is even if they had a normal week 1 order and did everything right.

I keep hearing this too, but my build is a Badlands Lux with Towing package. All the stuff people say is what is holding theirs up.

Exactly! Not sure how people forget this.

Same here. 7/19/2020, and nothing. Yeah, there needs to be a dedicated list of who "messed up" their process by changing configurations, or waiting late, or just not getting e-mails or showing up on the website.

And we should see when their orders actually come in, and the data would show at least parts of what's happening.

What I don't understand is why they won't push the expensive builds through, if they really wanted to screw over their customers for money they're losing res holders with each week that passes by.

My 8/21 res BL Lux just shipped I think my fairly large dealer has a fairly small amount of Bronco orders for its size which is likely why

It's all about timing and allocations and a stupidly over complicated scheduling system.

The most important lesson here is Ford cares more about the dealers than about customers and a fair reservation system (first come first served)....

It’s so hard to get onto my ignore list. Op did it in three posts.

Maybe I’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 crap….

Honestly some of it could be the unwillingness to compromise on accessories or the dealer. Dealers have some level of control on priority.

So the purpose of this thread is to stir up discontent by gloating about a claimed 4 month order fulfillment and accusing or mocking those who have waited longer. I look forward to the day I am browsing the forum and see this individual has a line through their screen name for going too far.

I will really enjoy that...

and when they get banned, I hope they remember that I will be chuckling when I notice it.

 

[Trino351c]

It’s very real, 647 days and waiting. If you really had your bronco you would show pictures of it, maybe your the fake news.

I know why I do not have mine. My dealer sat on my order and pushed other orders through.. I am a day 1 reservation holder. I am willing to bet it has something to do with the allocation math. My order for the '22 was not put in until the deadline and now I have a 5/30 build date.

On one hand, it's human nature and i dont blame them. I have a signed PO with a set price. If holding onto an early reservation meant you could get a few more through to sell at retail for more money. Also, dealerships are in the "Relationship" business. This is the first Ford i bought but not the first car i bought from this group. Unfortunately the different shops in the groups don't talk.

Then there is the other side. A signed PO is a contract to purchase. It is in their best interest to submit the order in a timely manner.

I am sure Ford is done with dealers.

Nice troll post to get everyone fired-up on a Friday.

Bonus points for feigning ignorance on how it could happen and accusing day1 reservation holders of lying about their status.

And more bonus points for using all caps in the title as you are shouting it for us all to hear. What a d-bag.
