Priority Code 2 is it actually going to be built?

[Rocket4X4]

@Rocket4X4 what is your build and are you at big or small dealer? Did your dealer tell you how many reservations they still have? Let us know if you get picked next month when they do scheduling. It will be interesting to see if priority code 2 actually means you get picked.

Mine is a 4 door Badlands, non-sas, high package, 2.3L, 7MT with modular bumper and hard top. My salesman said it was strange that it hadn't been picked up yet, as they have had most, if not all, of their other orders come in already. They wouldn't tell me how many other orders they still have waiting to come in.

When I first put in the order in Dec '21, the PC was 19. At that time I had a soft top and tried to avoid constraints. I went back at the end of March '22 to change the top to the MIC, as it's going to live outdoors and I don't think the soft top would be durable. At that time, the PC was updated to 10, so it sat at 10 for 9 months or so without movement.

I'll be sure to follow up, but at this point, I'm just hanging out. I'm looking forward to getting it, but not getting worked up over it.

Priority codes 10-19 and 99 are dealer assigned and help set priority at the dealership itself. Some dealers don't use it and leave everything at 19. Frankly speaking, with allocations and supply chain determining the scheduling formulas, priority code doesn't seem to matter much. The rare move to a priority code of <10 seems new and I'm not sure we really know what, if anything, it means. Ford could easily clear this up for us and dealers if they had any interest in communicating with customers.

Called my dealer today to remove the console vault and was told my order was now a priority 2 it was locked so no changes could be made. Dealer said (I know, I know "Dealer Said") every Bronco that they had reach priority 2 was scheduled for production within a few weeks. Supposedly there are a total of 14 Bronco orders at this dealer that have not been scheduled for production. Is any of this true? I have no clue but it’s what I was told.
FYI-I was a March 2022 walk in order, reordered a '23. 2 door MT base with Aux switches, console vault, and splash guards.

PC 2 is new paradigm. PC 1 is assigned by regional reps based on dealer input. Not sure what PC 2 path is.

@Builder this is what my dealer said too the order was locked and couldn't be changed. Good to hear someone else is hearing this news. He said I should be up when he gets his new allocation. I hope you get assigned a vin too soon. Keep us updated if this priority code 2 actually means something for scheduling.

My” guess” is “ priority 2” is a new application to signify current orders since no new orders can be initiated at this time. Reality is the VIN means everything. That being said, a dealer may have your assigned VIN before Ford informs you of the same. It also can work the other way. In my case, I accidentally found out I had a VIN while at the dealership inquiring if an order change went through. A week after finding out I had a VIN and was scheduled, Ford moved up my scheduled build date by three weeks.

My Bronco was a priority 2. I decided to make a few changes and bumped up to a Wildtrak in order to get the better suspension and steering rack. That pushed my order to a double digit priority, unfortunately. Who knows, maybe Ford will adjust it back to a Priority 2. I am in the mid 400s, so I don’t think it was going to matter for me.

I don’t think that is the case. Three of the 14 pending orders at my dealer are priority 2, the rest are priority 19.

Went in to my dealer on Saturday and he showed me their full list. They had about 10 priority 2’s and they were almost all manuals, FWIW. Maybe manuals are getting pulled in next schedule?

I hate to get excited at the prospect of this happening knowing full well I’ll probably be disappointed, but dang this makes me excited My dealer calls my order a unicorn. I’m a 2 door SAS Manual order that’s been a priority 10 since Dec 2021 (was 19 when I initially ordered), but became priority 2 after the last scheduling round in Dec. (the one that actually happened). Maybe, just maybe? Good luck, y’all!

You may be on to something. 2 door base, MIC, manual. Dearler told me a few weeks ago Ford upped my priority code (from the 10 it had been) and we should be getting scheduled in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed.

So a Priority 1-9 is set by Ford. A dealer has no authority to set a priority higher than 10.

The Priority 2, which has been reported by others, seems to be a new action by Ford to lock orders that are intended to be scheduled in the near future.

They used to leave the order at the dealer set priority allowing changes to be made up till a VIN was assigned and scheduled.

The dealer priority code of 10-19 carried the same weight for MY'21. But was quietly changed for MY'22 and going forward. Dealers have the authority to assign varying priorities, but are reluctant to do so as they would be opening Pandora's Box if they determined favored priority. By leaving their orders with the same priority, the burden of scheduling falls on Ford and the voodoo that they work to determine which orders are scheduled.

today walked into my dealer and asked about my prioirty code how i was a 2 for my22 and became a 19 on 23, he told me he would change it to a 10 but doesnt matter at this point. curios i came home contacted ford and they told me i was a priority 10. so dont know if to be happy or at this point it doesnt even matter.

I'm sitting at a PC 2 as well and also a MT 2.3 base with aux switches. I ordered from a larger dealership in Dallas. Hopefully we will get scheduled soon but will be interesting to see time from 2 to scheduled.
