No e-mail and tracker still says in production with 1/18/22 date, BUT checked the dealer website and there was my Bronco! VIN matched my window sticker so i called. Salesman checked and called back. Yes my Bronco is build but waiting on chips and I should have it around 5/6/22 maybe. So an ice/mud mountain hostage? Checked the price and seems a little higher (a few hundred?), so will worry about that when it shows up.
Can you explain this to me? Relatively new here and Iāve seen it mentioned a couple times. Tried searching with no luck. Called the dealership I ordered from and they said there āare no allocation limitsā so I donāt think they are sharing something with meWhy is it hard to understand that Ford is prioritizing dealer allocations???
It's a conspiracy theory.
Also, no build date here (Raptor). Saw several non GT holders get build dates already between here, Facebook, and other forums. Doesn't make sense. Hour two reservation and I have the earliest reservation at my dealer. Oh well.
So true. I ordered from a big dealer. They actually had 4 Base 4 doors dealer stock Broncos on the lot when I order in February.Why is it hard to understand that Ford is prioritizing dealer allocations???
Got the email but my dealer called me with a build date a few weeks ago.
I also think Ford is targeting big Jeep areas. Around here you can not swing a dead cat without hitting a jeep and I now see new Broncos almost every time I go for a drive.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but the build date doesn't mean a thing. I got my build date back in November. Truck was built the week of January 10 and has been sitting atop Ice Mountain "awaiting chips" ever since.
Congrats to OP, but wow, Ford is really screwing the pooch on this launch.
I canceled mine a few weeks ago, but still swing by every once in a while to see how things are going for early reservation holders (mine was 7/15/2020), and each time I become more and more glad I jumped shipā¦

If that's the case I should be in good shape then. I counted 11 wranglers the other evening on a 7 mile drive. lol

Funny thing is, I really don't care how long it takes. 20 years in the military taught me patience. I'm not going to sweat it one way or the other. The way people take this post personally makes me laugh.
I ordered in Jan. And received my Bronco last Wednesday. A 2dr BD with no commodity items. Itās possible.

Each Dealer gets so many vehicles based on market and sales history. They aren't lying to you about limits but are leveling out some info. Ford puts a plan for how many Broncos they think will sale. Then look at the market and each Dealers sales and order history. Using that info they "Allocate" a how many each dealers are guaranteed. So then each dealer has their guarantee number of Broncos.
Then they start filling orders. If a dealer "A" has 50 allocated to them but 100 orders, they fill the 50 and then move to dealer "B" in line. Now the dealer "A" will get the 50 more on order. They just won't get them until all the guarantees are filled.
This is done to keep dealers happy and keep big city dealers from pushing out smaller dealers. My small dealer had around 10 allocated for 2022 and I guess I got lucky to get one of them. No conspiracy, just how it works.
