Could your dealer gave you a priority build for 22?

Let's face it, this is just Ford screwing the customer and rewarding high volume dealerships. Ford should have been up front about dealer allocation vs reservation position before the reservation system went live in July of last year.

Yeah I wonder about this. Seems to be a pattern here. I too got the e-mail today that I got a build scheduled for 1/24/2022 and was shocked. I had previously thought summer or early fall build. I guess I feel better than if I hadn’t gotten the e-mail today. But I am still pretty skeptical of a 1/24 buIld based on experience of others. Trying to not get too excited. Original reservation was March 20, 2021 and first ordered a few days after that. Of course, that got 99’ed. Then re-ordered a 2022 in early November.Ah, you see, the hook is set. I too was once scheduled for production, for the first time, but then 5 other re-schedules occurred. You may believe yours will built January, I would not hold my breath!
Somebody suggested posting build details, so FWIW, my build is WT, soft top, lux, tow, 2.7, leather, aux, mod bumper, full bash guards, iconic silver. I REALLY DON’T want a soft top, but I want MIC even less. Got my fingers crossed that I can purchase a body color matching mod top (or similar aftermarket) in the not too distant future. Really sick for those early reservation holders that aren’t scheduled yet. I never gave it much thought, but it seems more and more clear that choice of dealer makes a big difference in timing of build.
Is there a clear consensus about time difference between first scheduled build and actual build?

I'm glad someone else posted this. Ive seen a few now that get scheduled within a couple months of reservation/order while some of us are waiting for a year and a half. I'm so confused. But not angry. Just hope 100% of these are genuine enthusiasts and not those @$$holes trying to make a buck by flipping them.
Edit: My info for reference
Reservation date: 7/14 9a et
Order date(s): 1/26, 10/22
Scheduled for production: week of 12/20/21
WT 4D, Lux, VB, MIC

The reservation system was suspect before, but seems to have completely gone off the rails. Im not even sure what to do now. 7-15 2 dr BL, and there seems to be plenty of reservations still lingering before mine even without dealing with allocation bull. I’m at a smallish dealership in MA, and to be fair with them they have been great. All complaints with Ford.
I still want the truck. And I don’t need it right now, even with the year plus delay. But @Fordmotorcompany this is not how you build brand loyalty. In a few years this might seem like a “blip”, but Ford is losing future customers after this.

Really like your ‘94. You’re lucky to have that to carry you over until you get your new WT. I had an ‘89 Eddie Bauer Bronco that I loved. Another example of “should have never sold.” There is a 5G red Bronco rolling around North Phoenix that is beautiful and really got me thinking about re-doing one of those. It pulled up next to me one day when I was on my bike and I’ve seen it once or twice since. It’s a well kept or well restored, spectacular truck. Anyway, hang in there, it wouldn’t surprise me if you got your WT before me.
Was thinking about option 3 but I'm afraid they'll tell me its getting built WAY before Im ready to pay for it!! Lol
Thanks man; people like you are why I keep coming back to the forum. At the end of the day, pretty much all of us are true enthusiasts and we have at least 1 similar interest. I hope the day never comes that I don't get excited to see a Bronco rollin' towards me on the road or on the other side of a trail head.

8/20 reservation and finally got an order email!!! Problem: not my fn order. So whoever is getting this one, guess I’ll get your vin, updates, photo… while nothing happens on my actual order… unless it’s getting built secretly and someone else is getting my updates. Almost so exciting! Thanks Ford. Meanwhile I’ll try to live vicariously through those just placing orders and skipping ahead of us. The shit show goes on.

It's not exactly that simple. Plenty of early reservations at high volume dealerships are still waiting too. It's the ratio of allocations to reservations you want to maximize.
The sequence in which orders are being pulled for production is dictated by a process that takes into account not just commodities and the per-dealer allocation formula, but all kinds of sales and marketing considerations like regional balancing. And there's probably even a randomized component, so that Dealer A doesn't always get their second allocation before Dealer B, and so forth. It's completely opaque to the end customer (and mostly opaque to dealers) and nothing at all like the simple timestamp reservation system that Ford misled us about.

I dealt with similar. Live in CO but reserved at a small dealer out of state. They were allocated 10-12 Broncos this year. He said they can't afford to screw people over with ADM's and all that because it only takes one or two people to back out of an order, and their future allocations will take a hit as it is. He had one person back out of a First Edition that was already ordered. That means the dealer is already flirting with the 80% order match.
