I'm a June Build!! - UPDATE - Received my VIN # today!

[Bronco Pilot]

I thought all FE orders wanting Black interior would be late availability, model year 2022??

No, they are postponing the producti

i hope you get the call!! We went with Area 51 on our FE.

If I hear anything, I’ll post. Nothing yet, but I haven’t called the dealer. I prefer the highs and lows over reading the forum discussion to getting the facts from the dealer.

I'm hoping I'm NOT at June build. 2022 that is. With an October reservation there is zero chance of me getting a 2021. I'd be thrilled with a February build, but even that seems like wishful thinking.

 

[BroncoJerm]

there will be Broncos at the Draper Aquarium May 5th 6th reservation/timeslots required. I'm guessing most Utah Dealers either dont know or care. and cant communicate??
I made a reservation to see them on the 6th at 5:00 to 6:00 pm not sure if they are or will be the same ones from Moab though?

Do you know where I can sign up for this?

If anyone is upset now after switching to Granger, then I don't think they understood the situation and how this would play out. I believe anyone that transferred or setup their reservation through them knew exactly what was likely to happen, which is a little longer wait for their Bronco.

There has been so much discussion about this very topic, that if someone is/was more concerned about getting the Bronco in the first wave, they should've found a dealer other than Granger/Stephens/Laura/Philly dealer. Part of the deal.

Happy for the OP! Enjoy the process and getting your ride!

I disagree that we should have known our builds might be a longer wait at a bigger dealer. I switched to Stephens before the dealer allocation thing came out. We were told that all builds would be done by timestamp. The allocation process was implemented in December if I am remembering correctly. By December, Stephens already had over a hundred reservations with a 7/13 or 7/14 timestamp. The allocation process was probably in response to dealers complaining about Granger, Stephens, etc.

I have seen people with a 7/17 timestamp say they are within their dealer allocation. There are people at Stephens with a 7/14 timestamp that are not within the allocation. So does this mean there will be 7/14 reservation holders not get one this year but later reservations will? I don't know but it may shape up that way. I Understand people saying that's what you get for trying to save $3000 but almost everyone that made the jump did so under the timestamp information and not on the....well now hold on a minute we are also going to include dealer allotments in the formula.

Just got off a call from my dealership. They called me! (First time for everything) They advised me that Ford is telling them that I'm going to be a June build!!!

I don't mind telling you that my heart beat went up a couple of beats as I felt the excitement, but then thought of this forum and all the dealers that have passed on mis-information. So i'm trying my best to temper my excitement.

If true, I would assume if I'm a June build, I will see my Bronco 2 months after, so say August?

I hope it's true.

Updated with more info: I was a July 17th reservation, I've never seen a time stamp. I ordered January 20th.

Congrats!

does this mean there will be 7/14 reservation holders not get one this year but later reservations will

Yes. There are 7/17+ reservations that have already been notified they are in the first build batch

I texted my salesman and he said as far as he knows Ford is scheduling First Editions now and then the others will follow. He also said he only knows what Ford has told him and sometimes people get info before he does.

I agree.....I can't wait for my bronco.....but guess it's out of my hands now. I'll just be happy for all the ones that are getting theirs. Doesn't make it easier to swallow though

I just happened to run across that as well. No word from LHM Draper on it. I don't understand why they don't communicate. I booked the 6th at noon.

Cuz its LHM my friend. Very reason I bounced. 700 reservations and don't give a sh*t.

I am july 18, maybe just maybe lol.

 

[MississippiMule]

July 14th, 9AM MST, res # starts with 10119.

Hmmmm. My time stamp is 10:07 Central, res # starting with 10137, so I’m hella confused. I’m seeing folks with later stamps getting emails.

Should I infer that my build is underway but I haven’t been notified?

 

[rtsherry73]

My Ford Explorer is coming in red according to my dealership even though I ordered a Bronco in antimatter blue.

While I'm waiting, I'm going to put 37's on an Ecosport and call it an EcoBronco. Part of the Bronco Family! Can't wait to see it in the new Bronco Showroom!

 

[Fordmanbob]

My dealer won't even share their allocation number with me. I guess it's a secret. They are putting it all on FORD.
It's crazy to think I still haven't seen a bronco in person but they plan on making deliveries in a few months.

I can't get a straight answer about allocation from mine either

I switched because my local dealer sucked and I saw Granger's offer as a way to save some dough. Turns out it is saving me $3K off MSRP, and MSRP was the best I could find in Northern Illinois. I am still well within Granger's MY21 allocation, and if I have to wait another two months to get mine, I am cool with that, knowing I saved at least $3K.

I have a 7/14 reservation at one of the forum dealers and I barely made it into a 2021 allocation slot according to the allocation number I was given. I've been told the allocation number isn't the end all be all of when you are actually getting your Bronco. But it doesn't feel great to be an earlier reservation so far down on the "list".
