PAINFUL to listen to. Obviously the dealer's spin is that the customer didn't call them to ask if the Bronco arrived. What a load of crap. I expect my dealer to let me know when my Bronco arrives. I don't need to call them every day.
Ford said they would pay attention to reservation time stamps. They may do that but obviously it has less impact than things like dealer allocation.
What I saw in this thread is people comparing reservation numbers which have nothing to do with reservation time stamp.
Sorry for the confusion.
Ford made a lot of noise about going to a custom order model in 2020. The Bronco was to be the first of that model then the dealers revolted. Ford has been trying ever since.

Not true. Dealers can only order lesser models as stock. Keeping a cancelled a customer order allowed the dealer to get a trim they would not have had access to
Dealer is gaming the system and getting a bronco they would not have access to as a stock order, taking parts away from legit orders.
Edit ... Not saying this is or is not identify theft. But the dealer did something shady.
I have a huge problem with that. Dealers aren't supposed to have access to upper trims for stock vehicles. This build took parts that should have went to actual customer orders.
Has anyone see the 2023 Bronco Price list pdf showing invoice and MSRP for all trims, packages, etc.? I have them for 2021 and 2022 but can't find it for 2023.
I'm looking for this for 2023.
I really hope Ford strictly enforces COVP and that stops this multiple order BS. They are clogging the system and allowing dealers to get Broncos for their lots in trims they wouldn't have access to while also taking parts away from orders that we have in the system.
I've emailed all of them as well as sent certified letters. I Tweet at them most days. I'm a pain in the a$$. :)
If hundred of us did that we will get their attention.
Write or email Ford. Get on Twitter and make some noise. In February we had some good publicity but Ford never officially responded and continues to ignore the most successful Bronco dealers.
On Twitter we are using #FordBronco #ReservationsOverAllocations and #DudeWheresMyBronco. You can...
