Strap in as there will be a bunch of “my dealer said” in this but I’ve found my dealer to be less likely to “guess” or be outright wrong so far.
First- they are saying they don’t have official word from Ford on price protection. While I’ve seen Ford employees post on Bronco Nation about what it’s supposed to be- it doesn’t sound like dealers believe they have been given that formally. My dealer intimated there would be a rebate version of price protection but wasn’t sure what that would look like.
Second, my dealership took hundreds of orders and have only rolled over 40 orders from 22 to 23 so far. They aren’t being super proactive in getting these reordered as I had to show up and basically insist to be processed. They weren’t jerks about it- I just had to push a little.
Third- they said they expect to only get base and big bend soft tops with mid packages until mid to late 23. They seemed confident Ford was going to try and catch up before taking new orders.
Fourth- they don’t seem to have any info on current constraints other than being adamant tow was still very hard to get.
Fifth- they set me to priority 10 like all other orders they are converting from 22.
Sixth- the dealership had about 200 new cars on the lot compared to a couple dozen when I ordered last January. The showroom was really busy and there were several deliveries taking place while I was there. My salesperson was delivering 7 mavericks this week alone.
Take all of that for what it’s worth- maybe not that much but we’ll see. May the force be with you
