I’m curious if Ford whacked our ‘inside’ guy..

Right?!?! He now sleeps with the fishes.

OK, you can't order a 2.7L for the rest of 2021, so what?
If you have not ordered you won't get any 2021 Bronco love anyway

I am devastated.

That’s the only interesting thing I’ve ever contributed to society. *sigh*

I thought about that too.. I hope not. If that happened Ford will be getting a call from me tomorrow.

Along with our Webasto insider that was around late last year!

Hey! Put your pitchforks down and read this first!​

This is from a thread earlier today with a guy ordering from Military Auto Source, a company that sells vehicles to deployed service members. They order directly from manufacturers in a process that is outside the normal dealer systems, I’m not 100% on how it works but they don’t go through the same WBDO that Ford US dealers do. I attempted to order through them about 8 months ago when I was overseas, but decided to save money and go through Granger. They have a certain number of allocations for the whole company/MAS system they use, that have nothing to do with other dealer allocations. There is a huge chance that whatever internal system this MAS printout is from either has inaccurate data, they ran out of their specific allocations (Ford only let them order X units of 2.7 for 2021), or some other reason. This also explains the blurb about the “high demand model for a drawing only.” Ford gave MAS a handful of allocations to sell through their system, and MAS is trying to balance them out and give everyone who orders through them overseas a fair shot since their separate allocations are limited. I highly doubt this affects everyone else, we would know about it by now. The 2.7 hugely affects F150 production as well.​

Can I get a 5.0 instead?

Calm down people, it only means all the available 2.7 are allocated to pre-existing orders and there aren’t excess available for new orders.

Thanks for the update and screen shot! Totally makes sense, that the 2.7 might be constrained for Military Auto Sales, but not to the standard Ford Dealer Network. I think, however, that you have to come out and say that in the top of your post.

Lots of folks can read, few can understand what they are reading.

Don’t feel bad Tommy. As a guy waiting for a Bronco who has a 2021 Crosstrek and few friends just know you aren’t alone.

This 2.7 news is a total bummer. Cancel your orders in protest!
