What # out of # are you in your dealer's allocation?

someone hasn't done their homework.

How so?

#2 out of 22 allocations. Morning of day 2.

 

[Fireman Dave]

2 of 27
2 am of day 2. (Couldn't get on until then.)

#103 with 76 allocations...Made my reservation day 2.

this would be way more useful as a spreadsheet, with timestamp, stated place in line, stated total at dealer, and stated total 2021 allocations at dealer

I’m really interested to see how it plays out for all of the people that switched to Grainger etc - seemed like a metric ton of people switched to them. Can’t imagine they got that kind of allocation

A dealer's allocation in some part is a ratio of their converted orders... so if more people transfer to a dealer and convert, that dealer's allocations increase.

How exactly they increase (what the specific formula is) we don't know.

Still unclear how this works.

How does reservation stamp line up with dealer allocation queue?

If the order and build is based on your original reservation stamp (and parts availability) then what happens if someone with an earlier order than you switches to your dealer?

If my dealer tells me I'm #50 on reservation stamps and they are allocated 52 but within the next week, three guys that reserved 12 hours before me switch to this dealer, does that mean I have been pushed to #53 out of 52?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Maybe.

Longer answer: See my response above. Ford can make X number of broncos, so in general if you take all the reservation holders up until X... they will generally speaking, get their Bronco irrespective of what dealer they are with. If an earlier reservation holder transfers in, they are ostensibly bringing allocation with them... You get pushed to #53, but your dealer's allocation may also increase to 55.

Longest answer: We don't actually know specifically what the allocation formula is, or what your particular dealer's metrics are... so those transfers in will bring increased allocation, but they may only bring in 0.4 more allocation (for example), so in that situation, yes, you'd get pushed out of a 2021.


The take away is: If you're on the cusp of the MY21/22 cutoff... generally speaking you're going to be on that cusp no matter what... and you should emotionally prepare yourself for all possibilities.

300+ reservations, 100 allocations. I am 280. LOL I will be waiting a while...

I don't know my specific place in line (I'm with Stephens), but I was a day 10 (7/23) reservation. So I'm guessing I'm probably like number 999 out of 1000 or something. I can't wait to finally put in my order for a MY25 when my chance finally comes!

So I have read trough a lot of these kind of threads about what day your res is and have noticed most of all the responses have been the 1ST or 2nd day. My res is Aug 20TH. Anyone else with a later res ?? Dealer has sent me an e-mail but I have not received one from Ford yet. I asked if he had any allocations and said he would have to find out. It reminds me of Heinz .......


Not to worried it's not March, yet.

I reserved on 8/7. Glad to see someone else with a later res date, I was starting to think I was the only one...cheers

#1 out of 12. my dealer is small compared to most on here. My other downfall is i'm in for a 2 door.

 

[rapidredbronco2021]

I was number 2 out of about 80 at the time of January 20th. Made my reservation on July 13th.

 

[Jaybone11]

34th out of 50 allocated. 7/15 early morning reservation

 

[UNBROKN]

#4 of 3 allocations (this may change, could go down to 2) dealer has 6 reservations total.
#1 & #2 have day 1 res, #3 is day 2 res and I am July 31 res.

 

[Moosie]

I'm day two order and am 8 on a 5 allotment. Guess I'll end up with a 22.

It hurt me too haha. But house comes first and gives me more time to possibly just pay cash for the Bronco

Plus now you can build a nicer garage!
