7/13/20 Res, 03/02/21 First Orders, 10/28/21 Second Order, Build Week was 1/31, Now Build Week 2/7, Build Day 2/8
I've received zero emails on anything.
I went to "In Production" on 1/27.
My Dealer could see my build date on 1/31 (May have been earlier, thats when I reached out).
My Windows...
Dealer confirms they are seeing a build day of 2/8. Backdoor still shows week of 2/7. Still no Window sticker populating for me. Fingers crossed.

I've worked in the industry at various Director level positions but mostly engineering, supply chain, and production both at the component level and for GA. When vehicles come off the line they go through a final QC, the vehicles get driven a few hundred feet and checked out. Here is a secret...
Sure, I didnt mean it in a bad way, I have a lot of love for the Granger team. Dealer vehicle allocations and priority of builds have historically been based on overall dealership volume. Ford changed the rules for Bronco and made it based on Bronco orders for FY21. Granger and others were...
Heres the problem with this model. Ford has not recently offered a vehicle that can compete with the Wrangler.
In the Northern Sierras where I am there are a TON of wranglers and 4runners/Tacoma's and not a lot of Fords on the road outside of F series. There is major demand for the Bronco...
I spent a good bit of my career in Drive Train manufacturing, with time specifically with the worlds largest Axle and CV manufacturing company. I see a lot of comments talking about this being a Ford thing. Here's a secret for you - we built for every OEM from Ford to Ferrari - They all go...
7/13 10pm EST Res - '21 3/2 Order - '22 10/28 Order - Originally 9/400+ at local dealer, now 5/400+ - 2DR/BL/2.7/SAS/Lux/Tow (never 99'd) - Still no VIN
Am I going to be the last 7/13 reservation holder get a VIN? I was even "previewing" last week, still nothing on the backdoor tool and I see dozens on the same build with later reservations, this is getting bad for my mental health.
7/13 10pm EST Res - '21 3/2 Order - '22 10/28 Order -...
My dealer sent me an email saying it was, there is no way to check for yourself. Previewing means very little though as we've regularly seen people on this forum who were previewing never get scheduled.
7/13 - 10pm-ISH EST reservation Orders on 3/2 (MY21) and 10/21 (MY22)- No VIN but "Previewing"
Currently 5th in line of over 300 at my dealership (Started at 9th overall at dealership).

I think Ford just hates me at this point and I've pretty much given up hope.
Many of us are in trouble with the new allocation model with relatively smaller dealers with a large number of reservations.
Taking the advice of @mrlevine (" You can take your order to another dealer if you think the one you’re at has too many reservations and you want it faster") I began to...
Check out this shill, almost all of his posts are defending some part of Ford's behavior and he continuously is using polarizing language that creates a cultural divide of them vs. us.
"Anyone who doesn't tolerate shitty corporate behavior is a Karen, you don't want to be a Karen do you?"...
No you dont, Ford intentionally isolates themselves from the repair work so that liability for any screw ups go to the dealership and not to the parent company. It is a model designed to screw you over if something goes wrong in the repair (like a fatality) you cant sue Ford directly.
I was irritated before, hey we all have part shortages, I get it. I was resigned for a 22 until I see this shit show. Now I'm pissed.
7/13 Reservation 22:25 (Ford Time) - 2Dr BL, SAS, LUX, CG, Tow, 2.7 - Dealer still has open allocations and its not a huge dealer, I see at least 15 on here...
I used to work for this guy at Telsa, all BS, no substance. He was chased out of Tesla after overpromising one to many times and getting caught with his pants around his ankles. He made 3 years of my life absolute hell on the Model 3 launch because he refused to listen to his engineering...
I had a Day 1 reservation but was very hesitant to place my order with my dealer because I'm a details kind of person and I want to know what I'm getting before I pull the trigger. My dealership was unhelpful and frankly has NO answers to any of my questions. The Stig and Ms Ashley answered...
