Nope, I get where your coming from and can't say your wrong. I'm just trying to correct this continual chant here that Ford's after the little dealer, they should just be saying that Ford's after a few small dealers that had an overly creative plan. Yes, there are some small dealers having...
Price protection on Bronco is just a rebate in the amount of the 21-22 price increase on the model you have ordered in 21, if you change models you don't get a different amount. Its a rebate so it doesn't hurt the dealer, it is funded by Ford.
On other lines its done differently, Bronco's the...
As to the 22 allocations, that was less of a surprise to dealers than you think, we were told before the 21 allocation formula was announced that Bronco Sport would play a big factor in Bronco allocations for 22, at the time I don't think anyone thought Bronco Sport would be the success it's...
I agree, but hindsight being 20/20, you can see why the dealers also didn't want to commit not knowing how many Broncos they'd get, dealers knew there would be an allocation system, how much reservations would play into it was the question. I sold mine at invoice as that was the normal...
If you ordered a 21, you ordered from a dealer, you may have put a reservation at Ford.com, but you worked with the dealer for options and pricing.
Now if you just started with a 22, that could be different, some of those were able to build and price online, with dealer level pricing and hit...
Any link to that info? I'm assuming no dates set in stone yet as it will likely move based on how many down weeks from chip shortage, but it would be nice to have a rough estimate for those wanting mod tops.
Hopefully now that Raptor and Everglades are announced, we'll get to find out more for 23, I'd be happy just to find out when 22 MY ends. Big window between July and December.
I think some need to step back a little here, many on here are making it sound like Granger and small dealers aren't getting their share. I think the opposite is true, if allocation were done traditionally, and assuming they sold 400 new Ford's (if 2020 number I read somewhere on here is...
I agree, I'll take Farley, yes, he's no Mullaly, but anyone that was around Ford in the nASSer days (and the other genius's under him like Mr. ketchup Darryl Hazel), can tell you we're in much better leadership shape than most of Ford's recent history.
The real funs going to be what happens at the end of 23 MY, when its down to just 1 or 2 dealers that still have reservations will Ford roll them over with price protection or just refund and cancel? So far reservations are only valid to 23, and I suspect that will be the end.
I really like the look of the fastback style on the 4 door Bestop, but I think I'd trade that for the kick up function of the factory top and the ability to lower the top instead of just fold it back. Yes the Factory blocks the rear mirror, but so does the 35" spare tire, and the side mirrors...
In for a 2 door, will be trading my 4 door for what I really wanted in the first place. 2 Door, 2.7L Badlands, Sasquatch, Lux, Cyber Orange
10/22/20 Reservation
10/30/21 22 reorder

I'm wondering when 22 MY ends, I'm hoping its early or fall at the worst. Dealers got an estimate of their total number of Bronco Allocations (it was clearly marked ESTIMATE as they are calculated monthly and can change based on Bronco sport sales or production totals).
Our dealership has...
It's all luck, but Ford gave dealers a commodity list with % a week or two ago. MIC is the worst, Tow is second, 3rd is modular bumper, 4th is a tie between front e Lock and Paint protection, but the first two are MUCH bigger issues than all the others, You can add 3rd and 4th (one of them)...
Actually dealers got their estimate for the 22 MY a week or two ago, however it had Estimate all over it since I think Ford's learned their lesson long term production estimates. It was also marked confidential so I don't think anyone will share.
Also its about meaningless without knowing...
Thats because that whole dealer size thing is a myth perpetuated on this forum. Everyone's stuck on 1/2 the equation, allocation amounts, but no ones looking at the other 1/2, sales amounts. The allocation system would work if dealer a sells 1,000 Broncos and gets 100 allocated and dealer b...
