Yes, surprised because it makes zero sense. The entire point of reservations is to ... reserve. So that Ford knows "Okay, we know the minimum we need to build and send to each dealer." To take reservations and then say "Well are aren't going to send enough to your town to cover your RESERVATION"...
Side request: Can we have a moratorium on people posting, "I chose to wait until 2022"? If that's the case, please quit telling us about it until 2022. We don't understand you.
Let the impatient Bronco fiends yammer without popping in to tell us how aloof you are.
People keep repeating "The timestamp determines your priority in your dealer allocation, not overall" as though they agree it makes sense. Ford took these reservations in July 2020, so they would know how many Broncos to build. The "allocation" to dealers should be AT LEAST enough to cover the...
Either this is fake, and you're trolling us, or it's real. Either way, as a day-one reservation holder for a pure Base AMB non-Squatch, I have to say:
FUCK THIS SHIT.
Yeah, with my reservation being three hours after they opened, and seeing folks with much later reservations getting emails, it’s frustrating. Someone said that’s because time stamp dictates order of builds for your dealer only, not all Broncos, but I’m still frustrated because my dealer claims...
Let me end any debate about which trim or model or options make a Bronco a mall crawler. There is only one factor that converts a Bronco into a mall crawler: running boards.
A response from a friend:
“Look up the eco-boost. More efficient because it’s broken down so often. I asked dealer 2 weeks ago. Said he was looking forward to selling a bunch because they were always in shop.”
You made my day! I hadn’t bothered to compare and had assumed the V8s of my previous Broncos were more powerful, but here is how they compare:
1976 Bronco (V8):
138 horsepower
245 lb-ft torque
1987 Bronco (V8):
188 horsepower
269.95 lb-ft torque
2021 Bronco with turbo EcoBoost 2.3L 4-cyl...
I got an email from someone at the dealership and talked to her on the phone this morning. She wanted to “confirm” my order specs, but I’m not sure why. May have just been a touchpoint call to see if any customers were still onboard and not canceling. Because she was “confirming,” I asked her to...
If there had been an option between the stock tires and Sasquatch, I'd have taken it. 32" maybe. Or simply the option to upgrade from the all-weather street tire to an all-terrain tire, in the same size.
Sasquatch makes it look like a toy, and I've never needed tires that big to get through...
Me: "Yes, here is my phone number, you can call me anytime today." (turn ringer off silent mode at work, refresh email constantly)
Response: zero
Half-empty expectation: They somehow fucked up the order and need to have me "confirm" something.
Half-full: They are going to "confirm" info on...
i sent an email last week to a guy at my dealer asking about allocation and where i stand. Now I just got this email from another person there:
Hi my name is (redacted) I am the Internet Sales Manager here at (redacted) Ford.
Can we set up a time to confirm the details of your order?
