The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

[Compta38]

I was told there was a spreadsheet out there that John from Stephens put out there and all I could find was an email from him on 12/8/2021 so I emailed and asked for an update since I was seeing everyone getting their build dates and also so many dealers getting stock to sell. He informed me that now I was #70 on the list. No clue how I dropped when 12 people ahead of me already had scheduled build dates on 12/8. You'd figure I'd be moving up rather than down.

It would be folks that were in front of you that didn't order then put one in I bet. Hopefully the flood gates open up soon and people get scheduled. The bright side is that maybe us later folks won't have valves dropping and maybe the MIC tops and other glaring qc issues will be addressed.

Hey John,
I know it is a pain but an updated spreadsheet with all of the orders that got picked up to build would really help those that did not. At least we could make some educated (joke) guesses as to when we may get a build date. If nothing else, it may keep me from checking the back door at Ford 8 times per day

I would like to see this too but I think the reality is that not much is happening. And why do we have to check a back door link? Why can't ford put this information on our order / reservation page. Why do they want to keep us in the dark? I would rather know what is going on with my order than get junk trinkets in the mail that say hang in there.

I’m sure like most of you, I got an email from John today with the updated spreadsheet.
The good news is, I’ve moved from 259 to 191 on the roster…
The bad news is, he eluded to the fact that they don’t believe they are going to get everyone’s Broncos this year.

While this news sucks, I do appreciate John’s transparency with the update. He did say they have a plan of some sort to help us out. I have no idea what that is…

Im hoping it’s better than a calendar and a hammock

thanks again John!

 

[Bdockins]

Thanks John.

 

[long_road]

Yep, many thanks to John as always.

I post half-sarcastic comments in this thread on occasion, but I want to reiterate that John and SAC are awesome. I'm hanging in there with them regardless of how long it takes. Any of my snark is just directed toward "the situation" and/or Ford proper. Nothing but love for SAC.

And hey... I moved up from 142 to 129. Maybe i'll make the cut for a 2023 model after all!

There is no reason for Ford to care what dealers charge customers as long as it doesn't look bad on Ford. They got their money from the dealer not us. I can't justify in my head a fair reason why Ford has grouped custom orders with allocation. Build order should really go with oldest reservation first, skipping those that can't be built, but coming back when the components are available. If a dealer sells a bunch of broncos and makes a bunch of customers happy, that dealer should be rewarded with higher allocation for dealer stock broncos for creating a new generation of Ford fans

One would think it would work this way Gary. But, apparantly Ford is working in the "New World Order" where the minority rules over the majority.

Oops, I may get banned for this one.

I agree
I’m fortunate that I don’t “need” a third vehicle and the Bronco is just for fun. It is frustrating seeing others get theirs 90 days after ordering, but like you said, John and SAC have been great to work with and I don’t plan on leaving

Sometimes seeing the spreadsheet breaks my mojo….oh well! All of last weeks (well 13 in Jan total) build selctions were time stamped after us. We will try the drop tow off, but nothing else as we are sticking with the hardtop.

 

[Bdockins]

Yep. I’m top 20, have stuck to my guns; but will drop tow soon.. not til after next round though.

I've moved up like 13 spots from 29 to 16 in line for MY22. I believe when I put in my original MY21 order I was in the high 60s or so. I feel pretty good about my spot but then only thing that scares me is not seeing many 2022 Badlands getting scheduled not just at SAC but across the board. Hopefully that issue gets rectified soon because I know almost everyone in front of me and myself are Badlands. If this does carry on long enough I will see about going Everglades if it does roll out for 2022 and doesn't cost a kidney.

@StephensAutoCenter we appreciate everything you and your team is doing.

but won’t the Everglades be a 4 door only ?

I'm actually one of the weirdos that thinks the 4 door on 35s looks best and my order is a 4 door Badlands with Sasquatch.

Dang, tracker now showing 2/23 delivery expected. 2022 model, scheduled week 12/13 then shifted to 12/20 like all 2022 models that had a 12/13 date. Shows in production 1/4 but window sticker blend date of 12/23. Initial expected delivery showed 1/29 now updated today till 2/23. At least more time to save for that down payment?
