Ford has supplied plenty of info, as you can tell from the various dealers that paid attention along the way @Zach@Granger @XCR440 @Granger Ford @StephensAutoCenter and of course yours truly @Gloff I understand your frustrations, just know it is not all on Ford. I applaud their efforts to make...

We knew scheduling was happening Thursday. Same process as in April. Well get a preview today/tomorrow and orders scheduled 5/13. Production weeks will vary, but we're looking at July scheduling.

Can confirm, orders at our store pushed back 2-3 weeks, including our FCTP.

Well sure, it's a lot easier to build cars with half the parts count, and a 10th of the options.

Don't worry, when it gets leaked, the forum will know before me!

Found the thread: https://bronco6g.com/forum/threads/dealer-used-my-reservation-and-ordered-a-bronco-without-my-permission-on-hold-with-ford-customer-care-now.11466/

There was another thread with a similar problem. He has to call the CRC and they can assist. If they can get him back to a reservation, he can switch to us. Lemme see if I can find the thread.

The deadly sins aren't really deadly, it's just that the demand is so high it makes it less available. There was the idea floating around that if you had those options you wouldn't schedule. Normally, Ford randomizes the order in which dealers get their orders scheduled (on a regional level). I...

We don't know anything more that what's already been covered here on the forum. Basically, it's all coming down to supplier constraints and what parts are available. Sasquatch, leather, 2.7L, and lux packages are going to take longer to schedule. Right now Soft Top and base/bb/bd trims are...

Yeah, probably why. It said a lot about the available commodities (most of which we knew already). Fastest build right now would be a BB/BD four door with soft top and 2.3L. Again, we kinda knew that already. Those codes just say why they're not scheduling, but we know most of the harder items...

That's corporate level, they don't tell us that much detail. Wouldn't DSI already know that information, being an exclusive upfitter?

We have 630 active reservations. Last count was 12 or so FE. We have about 240 buildable actually ordered (lots of people waiting for 2022). Scheduling is incredibly complex. First they figure out how much of each item they have then schedule based on the timestamp that fits those parts.

Probably the Lux if I had to guess. You a two door or MIC top as well?

I would have to look up the individual orders

@Boston182 would have to calculate, but seat of the pants based on the number of switchers we had initially, probably around 18-20%

I just was clarifying how those priorities are assigned, believe it or not, people will call their dealers (me!) asking if we can change their priority. They aren't relevant. 01/02 doesn't really matter since we can't adjust it anyway. The difference between my 01 and 02 orders is one week...

Yeah, I'm aware of the VIP orders that Ford gave out to dealers, but we don't assign priorities lower than 10. 01/02 are scheduled for production generally. I was saying that your priority doesn't matter until it schedules, as Ford is overriding the 10-19 priorities. When your order gets...

Of the 12 four doors we have previewing, 6 are ST, 6 are MIC TOP. That is disproportionate to what our soft top take rate is. I haven't kept track, but I'd hazard a guess that our soft top take rate is 25 out of 200+ orders

Dealers can't prioritize down to 02, that's FMC. Our highest priority is 10, but that doesn't matter anyway as Ford is overriding the Priority in favor of the timestamp.

Location plays a factor in build timing, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. As I've said from the beginning, commodities dictate the largest percentage of timing. We're really early in the process, but it seems like Soft Top and a basic trim will get you scheduled faster (for Four Door...
