Late Reservation Holders - What Is The Dealership Telling You About Delivery

[West1]

Initially Ford’s stated plan was to link delivery dates to reservation dates ( ie, early res = early delivery). Obviously we now know that did not work and by the time I placed my order, the dealership acknowledged that delivery may be more influenced by availability of certain parts more than res date. We now know that virtually no one can predict with precision when a Bronco will be built and/or delivered. My question is for people that only recently placed orders, what is the dealership telling you about delivery dates?

Placed my order in May, was told it’s going to be awhile. That was as specific as they would get..

Placed my reservation 365 days ago.

I'm way outside of dealer's allocation numbers for 2021.

Dealer converted my reservation to an order, which we 99'd because the likelihood of getting a 2021 is slim to none, so I'm getting a 2022.

I placed my order early March and finalized my reservation 19th of March. On my order, I am priority code 19 so I'm not 99'd however, I know that doesn't guarantee anything.
My dealer had told me the odds are I'm not getting shit for a long time, but they are as clueless as I am to anything.

However, I must say my Dealer has been very very communicative and had relayed that they will offer cancelled orders they receive to other reservation/order holders before they offer them to the community.
I'd recommend checking them out. Gosch Ford-Hemet CA

I'm a late December reservation that ordered in early March. Even back then my dealer told me I was way back in the allocation, had several constrained parts on my order, and I was almost certainly a MY22 or even MY23.

I talked to him recently and he had a res of his own which was 44th in their list by res date and he recently removed all the constraints (e.g., V-6, Sasquatch, hard top, towing package) and it got built. It was only their dealership's 2nd retail Bronco.

Things are... not looking good.

My dealer says they have no information from Ford at all. They have 65 allocations but have only received 2 Broncos so far.

As of Friday, mine still thinks late this year. It’s the timeframe he gave when I reserved. He said then (prophetically) the hard top on the 2DR will be an issue.

Based on the Webasto fiasco, I told him I think 1Q 2022 is an extreme best case scenario.

His counter, “I don’t what to get your hopes up, but you’re wrong.”

I get he’s trying to sell me a truck so has an vested interest in telling me ‘soon’ but he also knows I’m more than obsessed so will wait however long it takes.

All that to say, he knows as much as do, which is nothing.

The last communication I had with my dealer was when they texted me a copy of the DORA.

Mid size dealership with 116 allocations and somewhere between 450-500 orders. I think they are as fed up with the whole process as we are.

I ordered mine before the Webasto dumpster fire became apparent. At that time the dealership (and others) though I had a good chance at an MY21 because my build is about as basic as you can get. (I only added the Aux switches)

Late reservation, (March 2021), June 2021 order. Dealership made it sound like I had a chance for 2021 (base model). Got on the forums, read press releases etc. realized the dealership just wanted my deposit.

I mean if it's a 4-door soft top, maybe.

Aug 6th, 2021 order in. Reservation a day before. Order default 99‘d and I will attempt to get a MY2022 but I personally expecting a 2023MY.

I am waiting for a full 22 so I can get all the goodies.

 

[rubydist]

What we are telling people is that it makes a huge difference on what the build configuration is - if you put in an order tomorrow for a basic Big Bend 2.3 soft top, there is a possibility you might even get it this calendar year, but if you want a Sasquatch 2.7 in any trim you are a long ways out, like over a year, imho. Of course all of that could change tomorrow if some other critical piece suddenly become unobtainium.

I'm a mid-June reservation and order. I knew going in it would be a while. My dealer doesn't say much; usually "Ford hasn't given us guidance yet."
I'm fine with the wait. I just hope the dealership doesn't try reneging on our agreement so they can add ADM.

It is a Base, soft top, not Sas or any other upgrade or add on. But with such a late reservation/order I don’t want to get my hopes up.
