Same here brother, if I’m paying 44 to 54k I’m gettin exactly what I want. ??
i agree with your posts.Zach Westrum (Granger’s owner) has publicly stated that the majority of Granger’s reservations were placed after 10/1/20.*

So if Granger has ~1,200 total reservations — not “official”, just an educated guess — that means that approximately 600 — maybe less, maybe more — were dated pre-9/18 and used for the initial MY21 allocation estimate.
In other words, ~600 x 30% = ~180 in Granger’s initial estimate of its MY21 allocation. That number is clearly going to change in a few months, when the order window closes.
Personally, I think Zach’s final allocation is going to be MUCH higher, because a bunch of people are transferring to Granger for various reasons:
a) they prefer Granger’s business model and customer focus,
b) they don’t like their initial placement at their local dealer,
c) their local dealer never called or emailed, or
d) their local dealer is clueless.
At the end of the day, I believe Granger, Iowa is going to be Broncotown, USA, and that status will have been well earned.
Ford has been developing the MY21 Bronco for 5+ years. They started with a blank page and 95% of their work was done in a pre-pandemic booming economy. If they couldn't figure it out working in Shangri-La, I doubt they will fare any better constrained by the existing design and working in a much more challenging environment.
I never saw this post by Zach, makes sense. I was using the number another member stated he heard granger received around 200 reservations after the September allocation window...Zach Westrum (Granger’s owner) has publicly stated that the majority of Granger’s reservations were placed after 10/1/20.*

If more people transfer in and convert to orders, Granger’s allocation number will likely go up in the final allocation calculation. Your relative position could go up or down, depending on your reservation date and time stamp relative to the new transfers.
True. Although, I am hearing that some dealers are not planning to let people who switch NOW get in based on their timestamp. They are automatically kicking them to a MY22. I know I read that in a thread on here somewhere... Not sure if this is accurate... or even allowed by Ford.
This is the exact point I was trying to make earlier! There is soo much information on this site and more is being released every minute, so I know the answer is probably buried somewhere. That being said, I think this is a huge question that needs to be answered!
Roast with blue stitching correct?
