Hoss 3.0 is not a constraint. Ford wants the on the road since is is a nice profit bump. Good for Ford on this on.
That’s why I said “assuming the same constraints”

That's not at all what happened.

As far as WT being delayed (as well as Squatch) it was allegedly due Covid lockdowns in China back in March that took the a particular wheel factory offline.
Believe what you want. I said “seems to me” and you said “allegedly”. I refuse to believe anything Ford has said because they change the rules and pretend this hasn’t been jacked up from the start. I just know from watching the release threads here that the trim levels seemed to be drawn in batches.
I’m aware of the tire story. The original hold up on Wildtraks was because we were the only trim not allowed to switch to soft tops. Except every mannequin back then was a Wildtrak soft top. We are also the only trim who now has to pay extra for what was standard when we first reserved and ordered. I think some trims had the same done with bumpers. I reserved and ordered one month after price protection cut off so I didn’t get the credit for Ford’s greed. I refused to drop any of the items Ford was calling a constraint because I was going to get the vehicle I wanted and wasn’t going to settle for less just so I could get it sooner.

It's not a matter of belief. Ford did not schedule models in the batches as you suggested. It is a small sample size but the data from our group shows better than a 50% combination of BL's and WT's every round of scheduling, resulting in 2/3's of the scheduled orders at our dealership for MY22.

Mine had every possible constraint, and was built and delivered in almost exactly 3 months. I’m assuming it was just a perfect mixture of very low reservation number and a dealer with a lot of open allocation, but I’m not really sure 🤷‍♂️ This was also back at the end of 2021 though. Ordered 10/21, delivered 1/22

while there are “constraints“ the real reason folks are waiting so long is Ford does not give a shit about customers! Ford cares about dealers! They clearly have favored deliveries to those dealers charging markups, not those offering discounts. The “allocation“ thing is why there are huge wait times!! Ford needs to build and deliver Broncos (they have parts for) in the order they were ordered!! Customers are not given information on “allocations” so they have no idea what dealer to order from and they should not have to deal with it!!
