If Ford really screws us on the allocation, I am going to suggest to the GM/Owners that *if* we can get a good allocation of Wranglers, that we severely discount those to our current Bronco Reservation holders as a replacement for the Broncos, if the Bronco res holders so choose. /john

I didn't have a chance to chat with the driver. /john

Ya'll should realize, if you put the license plate bracket on your build from Ford, it will come with the license plate bracket installed, we don't do that and never install it locally unless directed to do so by the customer. /john

Again, we may not know the real allocation numbers until after ordering begins and scheduling is about to start. I can guess, but that's all it will be is an educated guess based on my experience with this process over the last year+, to which, my guesses have so far been pretty well spot on...

That's about how I see it. We'll put in orders for everyone that wants to order a 2022 (as compared to last go around when Ford said for folks to just defer as a 99 with whatever they had in the reservation). /john

There's been no communication offered from Ford that has detailed any constraints on 2022 models. /john

It will be a 304-369 number, I can't guarantee the last 4. /john

We do have several stock orders that are making their way through the system. As for the wait times on shipment, there's limited numbers of truck drivers and it appears that rail is running as always. Drive it to the rail depot, ship it vs. take 8 or so on a truck at a time on a 7 hour tour of...

I will be calling everyone in timestamp order and going over their specifications that are showing in the order banks vs. what the customer wants to make sure everything is correct and to give the customer the opportunity to modify the existing order. I can usually contact somewhere between 30...

My speculation is, based on our previous reservation conversions, ordering, sales, three year history, etc. etc. that it may not be "that bad". Our reservations isn't anywhere near Grainger (from what I've gathered), although our Res number is probably higher than most, if not all of the other...

As a community, when the ordering took place prior to March 19, there was no real talk about price protection. Price protection discussions were held much later. I deterred people from placing an actual order and staying 99 (what happens when a reservation is converted to the order banks by...

The way I read it, whatever you had in the ordering system as of 10/1, that's what you get price protection for. /john

There's 17 currently parked up there waiting on something.... either transport or possibly the replacement MIC parts/tops or other issues. Nothing further is listed in our view. There's another 35 or 36 scheduled to day/week or sent to the plant. /john

Until we know the allocation number, I don't want to add fuel to a fire that may not even yet be a spark. Once the allocation is known, we'll put everything on the table for our customers. /john

If you don't have a reservation, Ford has stated that any plain order would be put at the end of the line in respect to the dealer's allocation vs. pre reservation holders. Meaning, reservations come first. We can put in an order for anyone, you will however not receive your Bronco until all of...

The "formula" has leaked, however, I don't believe that tells us the final allocation. If I ran the numbers, there's still a missing piece I believe. Let's look at it like this.... Let's say over the past 3 years, a dealer has sold 400 Fords, had an allocation of 50 Broncos and sold 50 Bronco...

We were contacted by our Ford rep this morning, any hold-out FE reserves that chose to go 99 and wait on MY22 cannot be built in MY22. We had to move those to another body code. The same thing would happen to any FEs that were priority 10-19 and not yet scheduled to be built (we had zero that...

Just FYI, the original address for our offer on stephensauto.com will be redirected shortly to a page on stephensautocenter.com (our Ford site). Wanted to give everyone the head's up before I make it happen. Same info, different address. The original link will be redirected to the Stephens Ford...

One would assume. Since their statement was "scheduled to open on Oct 13", they're leaving themselves an "out" in case something goes wrong with the migration. /john

Nope, we have 7 here, +2 man's. We have more coming soon :-) /john
