Update 7/24/2021: Base 4dr, 2.7L; VIN: 1FMEE5BP4MLA67375Stock: MLA67375
to arrive at Honolulu Ford on or about 28 July 2021. I just called the dealer after seeing the Bronco listed on their website for new vehicles. Salesman said they have no information on it, not sure if it's for mannequin or ordered. He'll call or text me once he gets more information. Hopefully its available for test drives cause I know it's not my BL/2.7/MIC/HIGH lol
Any questions you guys want me to ask if I talk to them again?
Update 5/20/2021: Changed Order
After a lot of nail biting and back and forth, I'm throwing the budget out da window and I am back to the Badlands 4dr A51, MIC, 2.7. I'm sticking with 33s but getting the optional rims (I plan to change the color of the beauty ring to Black or Yellow to match the badlands badge and interior). I also added the Lux package for the larger screen additional cameras and front sensors and the approach lighting. I would've gone Sas, but on Oahu parking is rough and so is the garage entrance to my work. I want the 33s which will give me a slightly more narrow vehicle. They will also be better since this is my daily driver and I am good with the gears as well. Honolulu Ford made a change to my order on the same day, now let's see if I actually get it in 21'. I'm a 7/24 reservation holder

Update 3/27/2021: Initial Order
4 Dr - Black Diamond - A51 - Mid - Sas - 2.7L - Auto (Tow, Liners, MIC)
B&P + $1900 markup
I was hoping for a better price but being that ever car on their lot is marked up between $5900 and $6900, I didn't feel too bad. I was initially gonna get a Badlands but my build came in about $5K cheaper so really couldn't justify going from $57K to $62K. I emailed on 26 March to add the headliner since it's now free and they added it right away and sent me the new order. All in all no complaints. Honolulu Ford was OK. Made an appointment and showed up on time and sat with salesman on time. Experience was neutral. Salesman was somewhat knowledgable. What did other HI people get?

Initial Post: Reached out to Honolulu Ford today and they confirmed that they have roughly 300 reservations and only 50 allocations. They will be working with the earliest timestamps first beginning tomorrow 1/20/2021. They also gave no information about discounts except to say that Ford is not offering anything. They did not rule out any negotiating in house. I'm not expecting a MY21 because I am a late July reservation and I also want a 2.7L and Sasquatch package (2 off the dreaded late availability list).
If I get additional info I'll share, please do the same for those on Oahu or anywhere in Hawaii. Good luck.
EDIT 1/25/2021: Got a call this afternoon. Thomas asked when I would be available to come in and convert my order. I told him I am thinking about doing that next month. He was super cool and said don't worry you can do it any time but needs to be by March 15 so they can get the order in on time. Said they have about 55 allocations and well over 200 orders. So... their story is matching with Ford and with my earlier emails with them. He said I have a chance of being a MY21 since I have a July res, but he made no promises. He did confirm that the date of my order doesn't change my place in line by timestamp. So far Honolulu Ford keeps my business.
