Here is a nickel in change; The customers were not notified by Ford (although they did change the FAQ after most reservations were already in):Unless there was a dealer in some part of the country that was cut off from civilization, and their customers didn't learn about the reservation process until weeks later... and that dealer has thousands of reservations that will convert to orders...
$0.02
Will reservations be fulfilled in the order placed?
Reservations will be fulfilled in approximately the same order received using timestamp, however, actual delivery may vary based upon a number of factors including vehicle model and configuration selected, part constraints, and the number of Bronco vehicles your dealer will receive.
We all recall that there was no mention originally about the number of Bronco's your dealer will receive when reservations were made. I sure don't recall Ford sending my notification of this or any change (especially about allocations now being a thing). I was not saying the dealers do not know, I am saying that unless you are on a major forum and paying attention, you would have no idea of the change as a customer unless you decided to go back to the reservation page after you reserved. while some dealers may have sent out information, I am certain it was not common. There are 195K plus reservations and most people with reservations have not been informed of any changes. Many have found it out on their own, however I would not be surprised if half have no idea that the rules have changed. As to it making no real functional difference due to commodity restraints, no way to tell, so a big shrug on that. Even if there were (at a guess) 30000 reservation holders using the forums, even sporadically, that is at most a quarter of the reservations (with some doubling up)
Honestly, If you were not on BG6, would you have any idea that things had changed from the first come, first served model?
