Yes you want to place an order with an large volume dealership. Placed my order with a large dealership in 3/22 and my bronco status is now in production 9/21 blend date.
I would check with Ford chat/dealer an see if you are still holding the same build week/date. Window stickers appear approx 6-7 days before the actual build date.
Yes you are eligible for retail price protection.
Retail Price Protection - This is Ford's standard price protection that applies to all Ford vehicles and is designed to protect order holders from mid-year price increases. It is based on your order date and remains valid for the remainder of...
Yes every 22MY will have the price increase on the WS. Depends when you ordered, either you will recieve price protection or retail price protection. The msrp on your order sheet is the price you will be paying.
If you want that Bronco, they will need your driver's license to verify that your name matches to the order. I can't see what the big deal is about providing a copy of your driver's license your gonna have provide it anyways during the purchasing process.
I recieved my email Thursday night. My Sept 12th build week hasn't changed. Just found out today from my dealer that its scheduled to go into production to be built on the 16th. Fingers cross!
