Where do I stand in line?? - Granger Ford Customers

[UPnort]

I'm so far down on this my number isn't even listed. Soo you're telling me there's a chance. Sticking with you hoping Ford pulls their head out of the sand. Once again thanks for the transparency.

Thanks for posting this up, it gives everyone a look at where they are.

Do you expect your allocations to vary month to month?

Yes, it will definitely vary month-to-month based upon supply chain constraints, production capacity, etc.

 

[Zach@Granger]

I am guessing the first line is a typo 7/13 - With that, is this the remaining reservation items for folks that do not have a vin or are built yet or is this from the start Including deliveries, DM etc?

No, therer are some 7/13 orders that held off for 2022 with us who had another early reservation, or want a painted mod top, etc.

Seriously curious- What happens when a lot of the 10/1 and later reservations drop out due to the multiple year wait? Does the allocation formula hurt even more? It looks like 1/2 of the "regular" reservations are before 10/1.

More reservations leaving could hurt the numbers worse, is that correct? So the 120-200 reservations might be lower if there is a late reservation exodus?

reservations played 0 factor in 2022 model year allocation.

Hi Zach,
I have 2 reservations with you guys that you converted back in 21. I would like to cancel both and get my money back. Do I contact your dealership or ford?
thank you!

Am I understanding this right? Granger Ford and other dealers have been told what their allocation numbers are, but my dealer in South Florida absolutely refuses to share this info and claims they do not have any information from Ford on 22' allocation numbers. Keep in mind they also would never share info about 21' allocation numbers either. I know I am number 201 in the list, but have no clue how many they are allotted. Is there anywhere else to get this info other than the dealer???

they got allocation number for the startup production. Your dealer has it and can probably guess how many orders will get filled this year using the same logic Zach used in the first post

Ford can change allocation up or down each month of production after, but hasn't allotted it yet. It could be 10 for start up and then 40 a month after, or it could be 10 at start, then 5 for a bit, then 50 then 10 again. Depends on how they decide allocation and production numbers at the factory that month.

Shit, I have been extremely patient until now. I have a 7 year old Explorer that is hanging on by a thread. I absolutely hate this and just don't think I can wait any longer. !$#%!$%@$%@ !

Thank you Zack.

 

[Mr_Scoutmaster]

Yikes. That's a lot of orders. Your transparency is admirable here. Ford needs to figure out this situation with these specialized dealerships trying to navigate the first year of this chaos.

When Granger's monthly allocation breaks 20 units for the first time:

 

[balucipher]

Also keep in mind commodity restrictions. Just because you're #900 in line doesn't mean you'll be built in 2029, it could mean an early build date if you have a manual big bend soft top with no other options because Ford needs to fill an allocation slot but nothing else is buildable

Thanks for putting this out there Zach.

Gonna be a long wait but I knew that when I placed my res at the end of Oct.
