Hey All,

New here and had a quick question. What represents you "place in line" for a bronco? Is it your reservation date, the date you convert from reserved to order, OR the date you actually put the order in with specs? My reservation date was 7/24/20 and I'm told that put me in one of the first production runs. Just seeing if anyone knew better or could confirm that. Thanks in advance. A ton of great reading on this site.

Well, first things first, welcome to the jungle! we've got fun and games and a little drama. What we don't have is a place in line!
I'm a 7/14 @~7:30am reservation. I haven't heard a peep!

Dealer allocation first, then constraints, then reservation date and time, your date puts you in the later half of the reservations

Supposedly it goes by reservation timestamp, although there are many things that can effect that. One thing is for certain, a 7/24 reservation would not be considered early around here, and tens of thousands of orders down the line. Your best bet for "quick" delivery is a soft top 4 door with no constraints. What's your build look like?

Its a Base Sasquatch, 4-door, soft-top. w/ the 2.7 Word I've been hearing is that the hardtop and tow package are the biggest hold ups and mine has neither. Hope that helps.

Hey Phil, after everyone chimes in about reservation dates, constraints, dealer priorities, etc. etc....
Take a full years calendar for the next couple years, put them up on the wall, put on a blindfold, grab a dart and let her fly. That will get you as good an estimate as anything!

Welcome to the gameshow where points don’t matter and there is no clear winner. The rules are always subject to change and you are encouraged to stay pumped while not receiving any tangible communications about a product you reserved over a year ago without even seeing in person. Seem reasonable?

I am a day one reservation. Rather late order conversion. And heard nothing. But I know it’s because my dealer sucks.

We actually saw, touched and drove a Sasquatched Black Diamond a few weeks back at the dealership. It is as awesome as we had hoped. In fact, after we were done driving it, we went over to the Jeep dealership and jumped in a Rubicon for a test-drive. My wife drove it BACK to the Ford dealer and parked it right next to the new Bronco! She gets out, walks around and justifies out loud at Ford that we made the right decision ordering the Bronco. Next level savage move!

Nice move. I have not seen one in person yet, my dealer was supposed to get one this month but will most likely be delayed. The closest I have found is about 50 miles away from me. I am confident that I have made a good decision on my reservation for the Bronco over the Jeep. Just frustrated with delays, communication and what seems like poor planning. Patiently waiting
