It could be due to the fact that his order has no constraint items on it.
Nope. I don’t read them all. No one forced you to comment on my post either.
I’m feeling calmer about this whole thing now to. No rhyme or reason. Just wait it out or don’t.

Just to add to the craziness, I ordered on Nov,8. No reservation. Got my build week 1/24 email already also. I was figuring on late Spring at the earliest. Wildtrack 4dr 2.7 soft top.

Here’s something else that put me at some peace about it. I spoke with a sales manager for another dealership that’s not mine. He said that my base build should be picked up soon. He’s seen many like it get snagged. He also told me to ask my dealership to change my Priority code from 19 to 10 and the computer would see it better for selection. He didn’t explain how it works but I did email my dealer and asked them to make that change.

It is sickening what Ford is doing to reservation holders. Their reservation system is a joke. This will be my last Ford if I ever get it. I'll be trading my Ranger in on a Gladiator as soon as humanly possible and my mustang will soon be gone.

So you don't read them all but somehow you know they post in all those threads? And then you complain about people who "come in every scheduling thread and raise holy hell that Joe got his order from a week ago scheduled for January while you’re on day 400+ of waiting"....your exact words. Pot meet kettle. Did you get your bronco yet?

Every schedule thread I’ve read has those posts so I’m going to use statistics and assume most have those posts.
No- no bronco for me yet.
And I’m not saying I don’t understand early reservers being upset. Ford all but guaranteed that. But if you want a bronco sooner, make the changes, order another, or you’re just going to be stuck. It sucks but that’s the card Ford has dealt.
I’m fairly sure the more people piss and moan the longer their builds take. Quit bitching and buy something else already if you can’t wait.

I think you are right. I reserved 9/26/2020. I ordered 3/6/21. 2-dr BD with advanced x-fer case; no other options.
Small dealer with just under 30 orders at the time and under 10 MY'21 allocations (based on the Sept. 19, 2020 milestone), which automatically put me in a MY '22 delivery. Mid-summer last year, once the 3/19/21 order milestone was passed and true MY '21 allocations set, and based on a 2-unit allocation increase with some customers who dropped out for financial reasons, and commodity constraints for the other orders at the dealership, I moved up to just within the last two of the remaining MY '21 allocation slots. I was good until the MIC top 1.0 production delay; which reshuffled the deck. Like everyone here I was in no man's land. A prospective delivery date for my order just stalled.
Mid-October 2021 the MY'22 order banks opened. I re-ordered my same exact 2-dr BD configuration. It went fast from there, early November confirmation from Ford that my order was in the system and "is one of the early orders for the 2022 Black Diamond" (that got me pretty exited). Last week on Thursday I received notification from Ford of my production week in January and a VIN. I notified my dealership by forwarding the production confirmation email to the sales manager. Based on buildable configurations, I moved up significantly in the allocation allotment the dealership has.
The sales and management staff at my local, small dealership have been excellent to work with. They have shown their frustrations too. While most here who tout Grainger and Stephan's as being excellent to work with, they have been communicating from afar; I been able to sit down in the sales manager's office with my salesman on numerous occasions. Conducting business that way is much more preferable.
I've remained positive the whole time. I have faith Ford is doing the best they can to keep the corporation solvent, Customers happy, and shareholders happy (read that as senior Ford management happy); that is a serious hard balancing act. I want Ford to remain solvent, we all should; it must be taking huge losses at this point. The production manufacturing staff must be pulling their hair out and sleeping very little. Call me a Ford apologist; whatever. Do think this ordering event subject of this thread is Ford's way of purposefully screwing an early reservation holder or Grainger or Stephan's et.al., well LOL.
