My only order was the BL 2.7 soft top SAS. My reservation was the WT but I never ordered that due to the MIC issues. I havenāt changed anything on my order since I went in and placed it. Never have received any communication from Ford via email and I only have an order summary and deposit receipt from the dealer. Their manager called Ford Monday to confirm my order and was told of a software issue and they would submit as soon as fixed. That was this Monday.
Went back and reread your post and see that you just reserved earlier this month and are trying to place an order. Supposedly the MY21 order banks are closed and no new orders can be placed until the MY22 banks open up this Fall. Existing orders can still be changed.
Thatās what Iām hoping. I donāt understand why Ford is saying āsoftware issueā to the dealer. Just tell me the actual deal!
I actually think Fordās site was down for everyone at one point on Monday. There were posts on the forum of people saying their cars and vins were no longer showing up. There were memes running around this site joking that Ford just cancelled the whole thing since they canāt actually build the damn thing.
If a dealer is unable to give me a VIN or build date then I don't purchase the vehicle. All manufacturers are different but they all know their allocations at least once a month. So if I order a vehicle and cannot get my allocation from the dealer within 28 days I would cancel. It's important to let them know this in advance to let them know not to waste your time.
Well said.
Cool. But when ordering a Bronco it is impossible for a dealer to give either. Maybe in 2 more years but certainly not now.
Good for you. Me and a couple other guys thought the same but instead of shrugging our shoulders and walking way we negotiated a below invoice deal for us and 400+ people. And yes, we know exactly how many allocations our dealer has.
I asked my dealer for the WBDO and was told Ford had not accepted my order yet, so they didnāt have one. We agreed to use the WBDO as our price guarantee- no ADM. Does this sound feasible?Well said.
When orders are changed, a new email confirmation is *not* generated and the Ford.com profile is *not* (typically) updated.
If the incorrect order was submitted initially but they updated it, there is no way the consumer can verify.
The only way is through the dealer supplying a copy of the order.
Many people have already mentioned the DORA. That is the older system. The new system is WBDO.
It is likely your dealer will know what you mean by saying DORAā¦ but if they used WBDO to submit your order, it might be worth while requesting the WBDO Order Summary specifically.
Hereās what it should look like:
I have a feeling the "preview sheet" that the dealer sent him is actually his DORA, thus my request for him to post a pic.It is likely your dealer will know what you mean by saying DORAā¦ but if they used WBDO to submit your order, it might be worth while requesting the WBDO Order Summary specifically.

Ah this post completely solves the riddle. Seems like all is well, many thanks!Well said.

That is fantastic!! Good on ya'!! I missed the boat. No big deal I'm patiently watching and waiting for the 4wd of my liking.
That is very strange. This is the first I have heard this. My wife's father has special ordered a few vehicles over the years and had a VIN number and build date within the month of order. I wonder if it's because of these crazy times?
I now see that you just joined. Man, you have a lot of catching up to do. Be sure to tune in tomorrow as Thursdays are when Ford sends out emails to people letting them know their order has been scheduled and a VIN has been issued. It's a lot like Willy Wonka handing out golden tickets.
Spot on, thank you BlueBronco! Sorry for the late response, work meetings and dinner getting in the way of my bronco-obsessing.
Right on and thank you Sir. Yes, my Wife inherited a cabin up in the mountains and I'm at the age where the motorcycling off road is a lot less.
