No, you can't The dealer gets the allocation, not the customer. You just have an agreement (a very loose one) with the dealer to have them sell it to you. It can't be moved.
What's your use case? Offroad weekend rock crawler, the auto will make it easier. Into manual transmission life and ready to work a little harder, then get the manual.
Talk to your dealer. You shouldn't have an order for one from a dealer that doesn't have an allocation. That was a problem when the raptor first became available, but by now, if you still have an order, it should be allocated. not necessarily scheduled, but available to be scheduled.
You apparently don't understand history here, but that's ok.
Demand for the Bronco was extremely high when reservations were converted to order. Dealers immediately added ADM onto reservation ORDERS (not just vehicles on their lot).
The allocation has always been a thing at Ford. Still, the...
My understanding is that if most of the unscheduled orders (remember, they have only taken orders from people who placed 2021, 2022 orders. no new public 2023 orders have been allowed) will be scheduled and built as 2023MY. Any excess capacity beyond those orders will go to dealer inventory...
Not as rare as Ford's crystal ball told them they would be. Same with the sasquatch and Manual Transmission. Ford designers got the bronco so right, but Ford's supply chain people blew it.
It appears that Ford may be allowing dealers with insufficient allocation to schedule all their orders but take a hit on any future orders if they do so. I'm sure Granger will be getting in touch with people (watch the thread here) to find out who wants to move forward with the new constraints...
Does anyone have a recommendation (or owns) a bumper or accessory for the Bronco that they would trust enough to consider its use in the recovery of someone else or themselves?
I see a lot of bumpers with things that look like you might put a shackle on and use it for recovery, but I have to...
The shifter is cable operated. You must have got something in the way of the mechanism under the vehicle. I haven't seen what it looks like yet, but I'll take a look when I put the skid plates on.
To help people understand these numbers.
28% of those orders in the system are for Two Door models.
17% of that 28% can not be completed due to constraints.
May not be accurate because, well, ford doesn't like it to be easy.
They can only make so many, so they will schedule as many as they can. They have stated they will not carry over orders beyond 2023. To get scheduled your order can't have some specific commodity items (sas, mic, lux). Some will get built, but if you want to make sure your vehicle gets built...
