We have 14 additional 2022s that have been scheduled (I just notified the customers). These did not show up in the normal manner within the ordering tool for "previews", in fact, we did not have a "Bronco" section in the schedule table over the last two weeks. I check these daily, I would have known. I found out we had additional Broncos scheduled because a customer was notified. I went in to look at their build and saw the status of "S" beside of their order, looked and sure enough, they were scheduled.

These ARE NOT 23 builds, these are 2022s.

We do not yet have our 2023 allocation from Ford.

Curious if there is anybody here who was part of that last, big tranche of 2022's who's actually taken delivery from SAC (or gotten a "shipped" email from Ford)? I know it's tedious and uninteresting when folks constantly update their EDD status, but mine has changed like 8 times in the last week (once 3 times in less than 24 hours), and sometimes wild fluctuations at that -- as late as mid January then back to this week and back and forth and so on.

Same boat as you - (12/27-1/2) so far I'm feeling okay as long as all of us keep getting ETA dates all over the place. I'll start being more irate if I'm the one left out in the cold...at least that's the attitude I've taken lately.

yup, same dates here. 19 days since build, awaiting a truck to drive it 6 hours south.

I had spoken to Ford Customer Service they said 2022 price protection ends early next year (I do not believe that), but I called SAC I said I know my bronco is not there yet he said wait a second we have 3 - white, A51, and green raptor (none mine but maybe you all’s). I know nothing more

Thank you! I'm waiting on a Shadow Black 2 door Badlands. Called and spoke to Jody and it hadn't arrived as of two days ago. Tracker still showing delivery 12/27-1/2, though I'd lay good money that will change to 1/2-1/8 in a day or two.

My Badlands is stuck at MAP also and with the same estimated delivery dates as yours. I also expect the estimated delivery date to change.

I wonder if we will still get price protection if it expires while our vehicles are "built" but awaiting delivery ?

Has there been any published confirmation from Ford regarding the expiration of price protection?

Nothing I can find. I was just commenting on the above posts about price protection possibly expiring early in 2023.

Also, I just saw this. @patientB, you were close with your prediction.

Just because it'll be 2023 by the time you guys pick up doesn't change the fact that you are reservation holders with custom ordered 2022s that qualify for specific price protection amounts. Should be locked in the day the window sticker was made.

Emphasis on *should*

Well, I sometimes make very large purchases at work for items that have 25-50 week lead times. Prices change between the time the order is placed and when it's delivered. We don't pay them until we receive in the item but we only pay the quoted agreed price. This has been the way with every single company and purchase I've made. And i work for the automotive industry, specifically, a sister company to rigid lighting. The dora is the quote. The covp/order is your po. And Ford committed to this price protection program. The only way your amount would change is if you don't buy the 2022 bronco you ordered. Everyone is so worked up on whether or not Ford will give the promised price protection. If they don't, they can be sued. Shame on Ford for not communicating with the dealers and buyers. It would take them 5 seconds to resend the original email about price protection to alleviate peoples concerns and get the dealerships on the same page. I'm sure there are bad actors & greedy dealers that are trying to take advantage of the situation and try to shift the blame on Ford. Dealers that are saying they won't honor 2022 price protection on 2022s that aren't delivered in 2022 are going to be pocketing the difference or hoping to scare away the orderer and sell at a markup to a walk in.

Part of the concern is that Price Protection is not reflected in the COVP.

I don't even have a VIN and according to my Ford supplied calendar, the world ends tonight.

Time to pull out the Ford supplied hammock and "hang in there!"
