No.1 Reservation Dealer with 130 Total Orders and no Build Allocations to Date.

[Nellman]

I was just told tonight that there are problems already with the MIC on the 2-dr. I'm not at liberty to disclose who they are, but as a priority build they were not to have any constrained commodities. They just were notified that there were not enough MIC tops for the 2-dr.

I don't think this is a huge surprise. There has been questions about why the two door is a limited commodity. The body doesn't make sense and the top was the speculation. Ford didn't offer a soft top on the 2 door and the painted top is not a MY21 option. Leaves MIC to be the issue.

Thanks for the info on confirming the MIC 2 door is problematic.

I don't think it would be a huge surprise during normal production. But the Priority Builds at roughly 25% take rate for 2-dr is only 900 tops that Webasto should have been able to meet the initial demand. Well, apparently not.

@Aubrishusband which dealer in California is this?

 

[Aubrishusband]

Reason number 23,432 why priority builds were stupid as fuck.

Very confident that I am gettin the whole truth. I turn over about 40-50 new F150's every year as part of my fleet.

Giving them that kind of business you would think they would make your Bronco order a priority order. I'm #1 at my dealership but the general manager was 17 so I'm sure he made his build priority as he is big off road enthusiast. Hopefully we receive build date first week of May for last week of June first week of July

Also, I think they are telling me what they know. Now how much they actual know is another question and that is why I am inquiring here.

Honestly that can't be right. If they have over 100 allocated then at the very least they had the 2 priority tickets that they could get allocated for round 1 unless they were so far out of the loop on Bronco that they were basically asleep for the last month or 2.

Maybe it’s the terminology that’s confusing. Wouldn’t it be quite possible that they haven’t “received any allocations for build”? In fact, I’m not even sure what that means. Could that just mean that they haven’t had any of their allocated Bronco’s scheduled for build? Honestly, that wouldn’t surprise me.

I guess it’s possible that Ford could take geographic location into account when they build them just to consolidate shipments. It would seem illogical to ship one at a time to dealerships all over the country. Wouldn’t it make sense to build several at a time for each dealer? Just thinking out loud but I’m sure someone on this forum would know way better than I.

No soup for you

I am very confident you are either :

A.) not using the proper terminology correctly.

OR

B.) not getting the whole truth.


I'd guess about 98% of the posters here misuse "allocations".

Probably won’t have any 2dr builds until around Labor Day if then. Really sad trying to buy something that they can’t even make

 

[airishfan]

the dealerships that did get allocations seem to get to pick anyone they won't witch I think is jacked up by Ford because some people got to cut in line witch I feel makes me what longer

 

[Aubrishusband]

Email received on May 27th with a scheduled build date of July 26th as well as a VIN#. 4 Door, Outer Banks, 2.7L, Sasquatch, Automatic, High Lux, White.

 

[GoTigersGoBronco]

My dealer in the Memphis suburbs has already had 10-15 units scheduled in May-July. I think they had 100+ orders.

 

[Frankie945]

My dealer told me last week they had only 4 allocated out of the 30 they had on order. This is in Southern IN.
