I’m the guy that MAS told they can’t order the 2.7L for the 21 bronco. Definitely wasn’t trying to ruin anyone’s day by posting it, just wanted more info. I called Ford customer service to verify if MAS was full of crap or not. The customer service rep, whose credibility or credentials are unknown, told me that Ford didn’t have any restriction on ordering the 2.7L and she sees it daily. This is something from the MAS side, not Ford. So I emailed the MAS rep and canceled my order. Id rather have the forest green that’s hopefully coming out with the 22 model anyways. Im not paying 50k for a vehicle that doesn’t have exactly what I want. If anyone has any other ideas on how to get a 2022 bronco to the UK without dealing with the bozos at Military Auto Source, this Air Force guy is all ears.Anybody know what is up with this???
Anyways…on your mark, get set, and go. I’ll bring the beer for this ride. Cheers.

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.
