Still waiting... 7/14/2020 reservation - 3/19/2021 order

[alivecchi003]

Anyone have any honest thoughts on what I should do at this point? Anyone I can reach out to? The dealership hasn't been helpful. I ordered through Horsham - @DealerInsider. I used to be very excited and frequent this site often, now there's not much to get excited about. Any other vehicles worth looking into that are similar?

Thanks in advance.

Hard no on anything similar.

Try calling Ford? Do you have a VIN?

I tried. Couldn't provide me any information. No VIN, no help they say. Ford "doesn't have a direct line of communication to the plant to know what will be scheduled".

My dealer has been silent, although part of it might be because there has been a lot of employee turnover during the time my order has been placed. Salesman I ordered with in March 2021 was gone when I went to do the 2022 re-order in October, then person I did the reorder through was gone this April (email I sent to him bounced). Ford customer service keeps saying to work with your dealer, but dealers don't always want to work with us.

The entire process has been a nightmare.

Buy the 2023 Integra with a manual instead.

I see that you reserved on 7/14/20, then ordered it on 3/19/21... did you put in the RE-ORDER for MY22?

 

[alivecchi003]

Yes, I re-ordered October ‘21 for the ‘22 and modified my order in January ‘22

I am in the same situation: 7/14 reservation. Unfortunately, we aren’t the only ones.

I recommend that you stick it out for another 2-3 months. There’s a chance that Ford starts to burn through the backlog, and if so, you and I will be near the front of the list. If our respective dealers get crap allocations for the first few months of the 2023 build year, then but a Wrangler or something else that fits the bill.

This is what I did and it definitely helped lighten the sourness of it all. Had my jeep to tear down and cruise around in and it has been a blast. Finally got scheduled on the Bronco so things looking up.

You guys are not alone. 7/25/20 reservation holder, 3/3/21 initial order, 10/25/21 MY2022 re-order.... crickets since

 

[alivecchi003]

Thanks, it makes me feel better that I’m not alone at least. What a messed up process.

Same here.

7/14/20 reservation, 1/21 order, 10/21 re-order. Preparing to reorder a 2023.

Meanwhile, placed a Wrangler order on 7/11/22, it got a VIN on 7/29/22, and is scheduled to ship on 9/2/22.

I now am considering reordering my 2023 Bronco with no concern about constraints. Might as well order exactly what I want, and let Ford figure out how to build it (which doesn't seem to be their strong suit.)

Have you checked the back door tracker?

Hour 2 res. I got nothing. Ford doesn't care about early reservation holders left out in the cold. It's that simple.
