This is what I got from my dealer when I ordered. It doesn't look like it's good enough if they're still marking the car up when it arrives though. .

I got that sheet plus my receipt for my $1000 deposit. I feel pretty confident that DORA plus Deposit will be enough to make them stick to their MSRP promise.

I, along with my dealer, signed this when I placed my order.

Definitely agree upon a price and make sure you both sign before you order in '22.

The DORA.
Dealer printed our DORA with invoice pricing. Yes, they can do that, lol.

In a blank area, handwritten, we factored all taxes, doc fees ,etc and totaled it up to a final "out the door price".
We made copies of that and signed both copies so that we both had "originals".

Edit: also , the handwritten part shows my additional $400 down.
I don't care what all the ZERO down braggards say ..... having a currency exchange goes A VERY LONG WAY in a dispute and making a contract stick.
After that , a dealer will spend far more than the adm he is seeking to get out from under that contract. It will be far easier to just sell it per contract ....which is still profitable.

Call Chapman Ford of Horsham PA. 3 or 4 % under invoice no admin with a contract. Good people.

That deal from Tom (@DealerInsider) is no longer available, but this new deal from him is…

That’s actually true. The WildTrak trim for 21MY only comes with a hard top. If you want to switch to a soft top, you have to change trims to Badlands and then equip the Badlands with similar options (e.g., Sasquatch package). On the plus side, you also get the stabilizer bar disconnect and a few other features (e.g., wash-out interior, marine grade vinyl) which are not available on the WildTrak.

The WildTrak trim in 22MY will offer a soft top as standard, with hard top as an available option, but that is not available for 21MY.

Thank you for the rapid response

Hi Bronco people

I was one of the ones who got the Ford email saying that I'm being pushed to a MY22. No big deal I don't mind waiting. However, I was browsing online reviews for my dealer and one person mentioned that when he went to pick up his bronco there was a $5k ADM (adjusted dealer markup). So, my question is, when order banks open and I go back to the dealer, what specifically do I need from them to lock me into MSRP? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thank you!!

I had them sign my DORA and emailed them right after requesting a reply confirming there will be no mark ups from listed DORA price (which they replied in agreement)

Is DORA the build sheet? If so, I've got the same.

You get them to circle the MSRP and sign it. I also have an email from the Dealership confirming MSRP...and, when I ordered I had an "Attachment A" already made up and they signed that too. That attachment covered; MSRP, no more than 100.00 document fee, no internal hidden fees or add on's (treatments, security system, etc.), free installation of all ordered accessories and to not install the front plate holder. IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR MSRP AND OTHER "WANTS" IN WRITING.....to easy to get screwed when that Bronco finally hits the lot. You want it...and they know it!

If you ordered a painted roof you are automatically kicked down the road probably to 2023. If you ordered a MIC top and do not yet have a build date or VIN you are probably already a 2022.

As long as you have a valid reservation you are MSRP price protected, meaning you do not want to cancel the res and order fresh since any price increase from Ford will nail you.

Hopefully you do not regularly clean out old emails and can pull up the one from Ford that outlines price protection as well as the extra bonus Pass rewards for waiting.

There is never a penalty for switching your reservation before it is turned into an order, and some successfully transfer actual orders, but you could also search for an in or soon to be in stock vehicle exactly as you reserved.

As far as ADM, that is your choice. It is not like they are not going to continue building Broncos although I imagine somewhere in the ivory tower someone in management is looking at the rollout fiasco and how many millions the roof issue is costing, turning the Bronco into the biggest financial disaster since the Edsel.

Somewhere I have my printed order signed which at worst is simply MSRP as ordered. That certainly changes since I had to drop the modular painted top and all rooftop accessories that went with it in order to get a 2021. They would not even let me switch to a MIC alone or dual top option.

Thanks, Johnny for the inputs. I will keep the reservation and order when 2022 order banks open. As per the email, the price protection is only for the model that is on the reservation. It seems like I have to stick to the same. Regarding the transfer of reservation, I called ford to do that but they said they are not allowing it at this point in time. Hope they will allow that at the time of 2022 order banks.
