I think some of you are being rather extreme. I didn't watch the video till this morning because I was watching football. However, I read some of the responses last night and I immediately thought Ford dropped the ball on our heads.
We are all going to get our Broncos.... some earlier than others... but like the video said, your reservation time stamp plays into this quite a bit. I am not willing to sacrifice the options I want in order to get a vehicle I plan on having for many years to come.

After absorbing this video for the last 12 hours.... I feel this production created more questions than it solved. I personally wish at this point it was not produced and I did not watch it. It all is what it is at this point.

Sorry if this has been said, but I don't have time to go through 22 pages, so I just scanned.
1. Allocation. We don't know how it will affect yet. I think it's safe to say it won't be a positive thing for those going to a conquest dealer (getting customers from out of their area), however, we can't say for sure that its a huge negative yet either. My GUESS is it will delay those orders, but there's no info to back that yet, or how much of a delay if it does. Ford did say that allocation estimates will be available in January with ordering so as long as the dealers share that info and moves don't mess it up, everyone should have an idea of delivery before ordering
2. Commodities. I think its safe to say that 2.7L and Sasquatch are two items that demand will outpace supply.
Another issue to consider is they have to build a mix based on more than these two items, so even if Sasquatch is the only commodity, Ford still has to make X number of Wildtraks to use up interiors, so you could see a commodity on Sasquatch total = maximum of X% of orders and a second commodity of Sasquatch less Wildtrak = maximum of Y% of orders meaning that a Outer Banks Sas order could get skipped to make a Wildtrak since they need to make interiors. That said they could also have a limit on total Wildtrak to make it go the other way where they skip a Wildtrak order to build a Sas Outer Banks.
Also the commodity limitation might not be bad, could be limited to 40% Sasquatch and demand could be 42% so it would be limited, but not severely. We just don't know. Until orders are placed neither does Ford, its a safe bet they're trying to get as many wheels/tires as they can to make Sasquatch.
So to sum this up, no way to guess, don't fret about it as you can't do anything at this point, neither can the dealer.

I know lol, I commented on that on like page 3. Most trims have 1 interior color choice or a choice between vinyl/Leather. Exterior color choices? Okay. 3 total trim packages. Such
variety! Ooo!
Roof rails? Wireless keypad? Navigation? Towing?
“Sorry, I refuse to buy this Cyber orange OB with brown/blue interior.”
THATS YOUR FAULT FORD!!
Pink Jeeps are quite popular in Sedona AZ. I think they only come in Pink there.
Basically you are describing every Lions or Michigan Football game this year.

Nope, if I had to switch to a different dealer to get my Bronco 6 months earlier, I wouldn’t do it.

I would. I drive the vehicle, not the dealer. The dealer experience is really a small fraction of the vehicle experience. I have not been back to the dealer that I bought my Mustang from, as an example.

I thought production was delayed by six weeks due to the tops issue which is why ordering was delayed by just as long.

Alright, cool.
Prioritizing reservations over dealer stock.......sounds like Ford Legal wrote that language to allow for just about anything to occur. At some point priorities will merge or shift.
Sasquatch and 2.7 are two pretty significant features if you're inclined to want them.....can't imagine many people would just say "oh well, I'm not going to order it because too many others want it also...."
You could skip perceived high demand features and still come out worse off....you never know
