Was told they closed last night at 9pm pacific.Are banks still open?
Did you end up getting an answer?I’m in the same boat. My particular dealer has been out of office since he submitted my order on Monday morning. He said he’d send everything over this morning. Still nada. Going to give him a couple more hours and shoot him a text.
After a polite reminder he sent me a DORADid you end up getting an answer?
purely anecdotal at this point, but I was able to put in my order (4dr black diamond) this morning (4/1). now the long wait...Was told they closed last night at 9pm pacific.

The coming weeks will give you a pretty decent idea if you’ll be scheduled soon or if you’re in for an extended wait. I’m not sure if new orders are going to be immediately put into the scheduling mix or if there will be a set date.Does anyone have the slightest bit of hope for their orders with the window being open as long as it was?
I think it is telling and many orders were cancelled or volume wasn’t as high as anticipated. If old and new orders are still extremely high and they should know production and part availability to a pretty good degree now….it really defies all logic to open the banks as long as they did knowing the total cluster they’ve had on their hands for the past 2 years and repeating sins of the pastDoes anyone have the slightest bit of hope for their orders with the window being open as long as it was?
What info would we find out in the coming weeks to give us an idea? Just if our order gets scheduled?The coming weeks will give you a pretty decent idea if you’ll be scheduled soon or if you’re in for an extended wait.

I find it pretty surreal we were given “you MUST order on the 27th as it’s ONLY a 24 hour window” - idk.
I think it is an indication that demand is softening.Does anyone have the slightest bit of hope for their orders with the window being open as long as it was?
Yes, if you get a scheduling email.What info would we find out in the coming weeks to give us an idea? Just if our order gets scheduled?
Yes, except for HeritageAre banks still open?
Open, only Heritage is closedAs far as I know, they are now closed.
Please see the above.Was told they closed last night at 9pm pacific.
Some dealers are limiting their orders based on their available allocation. It's easier to say they're closed than to explain the process to the average guest.Nice one! I received an unsolicited email on Wednesday from a dealer saying they closed Friday at 9pm. Glad you got in!
Anecdotally, we had very few cancellations over the last three years. I think it has a lot more to do with available capacity at the factory. Ford has ability to build more Broncos, but the hard top is a supplier limitation. Ford is looking to take more orders in total, but limiting it to stuff they have capacity for (no manual/Everglades/BL optional wheel/base). Some dealers have allocation they can use while other dealers are oversubscribed. For example, I'm way oversubscribed on two door, so we made the decision not to order two doors even though it's possible, within my allocation, It won't get built. Ford also has significant capacity to build soft tops, so I've been preaching to any potential ordering guest to order a soft top if they want it built in 2023 (again, based on capacity vs. my individual allocation).I think it is telling and many orders were cancelled or volume wasn’t as high as anticipated. If old and new orders are still extremely high and they should know production and part availability to a pretty good degree now….it really defies all logic to open the banks as long as they did knowing the total cluster they’ve had on their hands for the past 2 years and repeating sins of the past
In the same way that going from Diamond to tungsten. Demand is easing, but I still have a long waitlist for 2024 Bronco.I think it is an indication that demand is softening.
