Unscheduled Day 1 & 2 Reservations

[VegasJason]

7/14 Res, 2 Door badlands, 2.3 manual, Oxford White, High, Tow, Roof rack. This is so disheartening. I know this is just a vehicle but damn shit's giving me anxiety. What's next, bronco christmas stockings? To keep hanging in there? SMH

I have a guess. It’s going to be a Lasso. So you can “go and catch one in the wild.” Guess what it doubles as a noose! Fml hang in there.

Don't feel bad. Night 1 reservation, "in production" since 9/14 and radio silence since....getting built is about the same as not getting built for a lot

4am 7/14. If I don't get scheduled in Feb-March I will be LIVID.

At some point they are going to send us all Brono Sports with "No, it's a real bronco" stickers all over it.

Just curious to see who else has a Day 1 / Day 2 reservation that has yet to be scheduled?

I'm a 9am MST 7/14/2020 (Day 2) reservation holder and I still don't have a build date. I've tried to be patient and understanding through all of this, but I'm starting to get discouraged.

2DR / Badlands / 2.3L / Manual / Lux / Tow / Non-SAS

@Ford Motor Company

@Ford Motor Company doesn’t give a crap. Similar boat - early res. Crickets. Read the thread on the next wave of builds. All kinds of late reservations.

I know we all agree that the whole allocation system is a bunch of malarky AND then add in the dealers that have taken advantage of the situation with early reservation holders.

I probably won't even get on the schedule until AFTER the price guarantee is no longer in effect, so January 1, 2024
Is that your Strategy Ford? Remember a fish stinks from the head down....and sometimes it takes a while for the smell to hit ya!

It sucks when you hear people walk into a dealership in June and already have a build date

7/14 early AM reservation
Nada.
Reordered for 22.

Early 7/14 (tried for hours 7/13), pushed myself to '22, Black Diamond 4dr, 2.7, Sasquatch, hardtop, mid... jack shit so far. Order placed with dealer (who has been wonderful), was really hoping for something today and nothing. Pretty f'ing bummed to be honest.

My stats below. I saw more than a couple people with nearly identical builds to mine, but reserved much later, get scheduling emails yesterday. Happy for those folks, but losing what little faith I had in Ford dwindling away.

It really is ridiculous. On the flip side, maybe my really late Lightning reservation will jump a bunch of earlier ones to make up for it?

So what happens if you have a Day1 reservation BUT you are at Granger?

My point is that how many allocations does your dealer have? If your dealer has several hundred orders but has a small allocation then you will have to wait in line.

I have a feeling at some point in the future, someone will connect the dots and figure out that the Day1 and Day2 folks who never got production dates, was a result of how the dealer placed the order or something to that effect. The number of folks who got 2D production dates today that never had a reservation at all, and folks who reserved this last spring and summer is sickening and pretty hard to accept. I've always held on to the theory that builds were pulled, based on priority, then constraints, then allocation. All the priority builds were done during the summer imo, then the allocations replaced constraints in importance.......now after today's events, I'm thinking there's something more to it that we don't know about. No conspiracy or anything like that, but there's something up with the first two days of reservations that are allowing them to be overlooked imo.

I tend to believe that this type of scenario is likely. At first my order on the Ford website didn't match my order. Then, after ordering for MY22 I just kept pushing the new guy in charge of my order (my third so far) to double check until it was right. Less than a month later I have a production date.

I don't even think this is an issue of Ford not properly training dealers, but more a result of the state of the auto industry right now. Many dealers have very little inventory, and this has caused turnover of staff to likely skyrocket (and this is an industry with very high turnover). With instability at the local level, a new system of ordering, and many issues with the production, it would seem like a perfect storm for orders to not be put in properly or lost in the shuffle.
