Called Ford today. Hold ups on Modular front bumper, Sasquatch package, 2.7 engine, 2 door, Lux package, & tow package. The lady said it was supply and demand. Lol.

You forgot to add the air in the tires, blinker fluid, tailpipe extenders.

When did you order? I am also in Ontario, only order 3 months ago so not really expecting anything for awhile

My original order was 4 Feb 22 but I made some changes that prompted him to re-order on 9 Feb 22. I wasn't expecting it until next spring. I asked about adding a higher-end package and he told me it was scheduled for production and no changes were possible. This blew me away as I wasn't expecting it so soon. Shortly after that I saw a video by someone I'm assuming was a dealer, who said that changes to the packages was one of the things that would trigger the price increase, so I wouldn't have proceeded anyway because because of that. Mine is a 2-door with the standard package. The roof-rack, modular bumper and tow package are all the extras, if that helps. I still haven't heard from him about a VIN, so I'm a tad worried.

interesting, that gives me a bit more hope. I was 17th of January, Black Diamond, 4 dr, MIC, tow package, 2.3L and the manual

Got an email from my dealer this morning. My Bronco is previewing today and my fingers are crossed to get a production scheduled this week!! She tells me the preview is for a 6/13 production week. Super stoked as I am 399 days from order conversion (643 days from reservation) and my build has almost all the constrained items. Fingers crossed I'll have a VIN and a production date soon.

Okay so the dealer finally got back to me and tells me either it was pulled from the schedule or he made a mistake and was looking at the wrong order. I'm thinking it's more along the lines of the latter. Either way, there is no VIN. I thought it was too soon. Also I tried to get on the chat. Not happening. I'm thinking because I'm in Canada. ford.ca has no chat function. Go figure.

We have identical reserve and order dates. Can I ask when your priority code might have changed? The dealer changed mine to 11 from godknowswhat only a few weeks ago.

Do you have a large or small volume dealer?

brutal, you would have thought he would have looked a little closer before getting your hopes up

For the newbies, comparing orders between different dealerships is a recipe for disappointment. There is not one bronco queue, there are thousands of bronco queues. What matters is your specific bronco queue or better put, who is in front of you at the dealer you ordered from. Then if the people in front of you at your dealer have parts not available will move to you if your parts are available.

Not sure it really will make a difference or be truly comparable from dealer to dealer since all this bullshit we have been living is just a crap shoot. I had a 19 priority code through most of 2021. I am sure that was due to speculation that my dealer probably had their 2021 MY allocation pretty much committed to and they probably realized when I did my order conversion that I wasn't going to get a MY22.......again, my speculation only. When I firmed up my MY 22 selection in October 2021, they set my priority code to 12. In December 2021 I confirmed my priority code was at 10 and it has been there since. I don't think that probably matters much in my case as I think my dealer had many more orders of 4-doors and so those deliveries were getting done sooner than mine even though I had an earlier reservation date and their allocations were just not getting picked up with hardly any 2-doors up until just recently. Even just three weeks ago, "my dealer said" that I was 19th in line on their early reservation holder list. They have only been seeing 2 to 15 orders per month getting picked up......and mostly 4-doors. I just cannot help wonder if Ford's order stoppage in early March will help early reservation holder production and that maybe they are doing a larger run of 2-doors in this next round of scheduling.

As for the large versus small dealership, I have no idea. I was told by a B6G member that is a dealer that mine is probably considered "large." 2021 allocations of Broncos assigned to my dealer were 106 units for a half-year production run. They were hoping to get about double that for 2022 but I was told Ford pretty much threw out an annual allocation number and that they are pretty much only being told month-to-month what they will be getting now. Again......"my dealer said" has been shown to be untrustworthy at best.

Sorry for that dissertation.....probably more than you wanted to hear.

The next round of scheduling as Broncos stay in production. If you aren't currently scheduled and have an order that isn't code 99 you could potentially be scheduled as early as 5/30. If you don't make this round then it's probably August at the earliest.

What is code 99?

What is code 99?

It's telling Ford to not schedule the build. If your order is code 99 then you have no chance of being scheduled until your dealer changes it to 10 or 19.

I was told by my Dealership last week that he set my Priority code to 10 a couple of weeks back. Told me that is the lowest that a dealer could set it. As of last week, I was told it was moved to a "9" which could mean there has been some movement in Ford to attempt to get this on the schedule. Anyone else experience anything similar with these codes?

Got it. Thanks! I’m a code 10. Is that a good thing? You can tell I have no idea what any of this stuff means
