Levine: you can keep your place in line for a 2022MY (reservation time stamps won't change)

[Colorado buff]

We might have to take into consideration of a major price increase waiting for a 22. Ford will probably increase price every quarter. All car companies do this. My question for Mike is if we wait, do we have to pay going price for a 22 or are we locked in on price now. Count on paying 1000-2000 more for a 22.

I would pay more for colours I actually liked better and better interior options. Like a 12 inch screen on a black diamond build.

Thanks for the info everyone! I have a day 1 reservation and think I'm going to hold off for a MY22.

Unless you are ordering a first edition, year 2022 might be better

2 doors are limited availability. Not late.

What's the difference?

What's the difference?

Late would mean late.

Limited means some will be available immediately but they will likely run out.

Someone posted a tweet response from Mike Levin stating 21 prices are not locked in. MY22 buyers pay the going price.

I've read this whole thread and am considerably more confused now than before. Since they have already stated that a ManSquatch would be available for '22. I'm assuming that I CAN'T convert either of my reservations (7/14 & 7/24) because I can't order what isn't available this MY.

I would think options available only in MY22 will not show when order taking starts next week.

I stand firm that they’re in agreement.

Your current reservation, if you don’t want to lose your place in line, must be converted by the March deadline into an order for a MY21.

There is no way for you to make your order for MY22. They are taking MY21 orders now.

Not all orders can be fulfilled by the time MY22 comes around.

If you haven’t received your Bronco by that time, your order just rolls over in line with everyone else and gets “converted” into a MY22 because that’s what they’d be making.


It’s like if you take a number at a fish counter, and they call it, and you say “i want to order whatever comes in tomorrow on the boat”. The guy behind the counter is going to tell you that you can only order what’s in the case now, and if you want the tomorrow fish, you have to come back tomorrow and get a new number.

Thing is, the Fish is sooo good, that the line is sooo long, there’s a chance you could take a number today and not get to the front of the line until tomorrow... if that happens you get to order the tomorrow fish, but by then, it’s already tomorrow anyway, so it’s basically the today fish.

Sure. You ran the risk of getting to the front of the line yesterday, and having to order yesterday’s today’s fish, but now that it’s tomorrow, today... you get to order tomorrows’s today’s fish now, and not have to wait until tomorrow (the day after yesterday’s tomorrow) like everyone who just showed up.

Does that help clear up the confusion?

Suspecting that you could have scaled down your explanation...

I've spoken to two area dealerships and as I expected they indicated reservations that yielded MY22 models would indeed be priced at MY22 prices - not something locked in at order now. Makes sense financially from Ford's perspective.

Because I turned out to be wrong about my assumption... or because of the fish thing?

@ZackDanger , nothing? C'mon, that is quality seafood humor! It must qualify as one of the heavyweights of history!

I have a nasty habit of always trying to get the last laugh on something... and I’ve been practicing just letting someone else’s joke stand on its own.

Consider my silence an act of high regard.

Trying to find the hidden pun in that....
