Just doing the math

[Delli555]

I reserved 8/17/2020
We were told of the 190,000 reservations, 125,000 converted to order.
So in 2021, I was 1 in 125,000 Bronco orders waiting production
Every Thursday checking email and backdoor
Gave myself a worse case scenario, I will be the 125,000th build... Worse case, right...?
If I don't get picked today for December production, there will have been 140,000+ Broncos sold in the US and I will still be waiting.

Math and logic were thrown out the door 1.5 years ago

didn't u get sent promos from ford saying hang in there? the math was off from the beginning. Myself I know I was lucky (only waiting a year and a half). So in that time I just put my soon to be payment away so I had a huge down payment lol all u can do and wait unless u want to pay huge mark up. good luck

The dealer also makes a difference. My dealer just got in a few stock units to sell.

I reserved a week or so before you. I just got a VIN, so I'm not surprised. Hopefully you'll get something in the next 2 weeks.

My dealer finally has all of his July 2020 reservations with a VIN including mine, but still has quite a few August and September 2020 reservations without one.

Interesting.

This is true today but it is not what Ford told us when the reservation system opened. Ford changed the formula in the fall of 2020 and left their end-use customers to pay the price.

Absolutely @Ford Motor Company screwed many of us early timestamps with this. Could have made a decision to fix it. Still hasn’t, and still obviously don’t care. Waiting still on an early July reservation.

I seem to remember that Ford said multiple times they would complete all the reservations before dealer stock. Of course, most of us knew that was BS.

FORD does not honor its reservation holders.

That is the way...

"Doing the math" assumes patterns exist.

Having followed this for several years (7/14/20 reservation holder), I can tell you that Ford can't stick to any mappable pattern.

The dealer def makes a difference as well as what exactly was ordered. For example, if dealer sells on an average year 100-200 units and then takes Bronco orders or any high demand model that are 10 times the norm-the dealer can't expect to deliver more cars that a dealer that consistently deliverers 100's of cars a month.
