Well, that turned out to be a horrible idea.....

we'll not try that again.

Ok, let's get into the nuts and bolts on how I have experienced the production..... and how I think it's done based on real world experience from taking delivery of 84 Broncos in the past year. Let's use three examples of reservations/orders: Dealer Order #0101, July 13 reservation: John...

Yes, it's holding true so far. We won't know until we get through January and see what Feb builds will be.... Look at my last post for an explanation. /john

There's a lot of info being passed around that may or may not have it's roots in reality when it comes to allocation and commodities. First, let's go at this a little backwards. *IF* Ford had 100% of the commodities needed to build every single Bronco they have in the reservations/order banks...

No clue. We usually don't know until they get here. Sometimes the "notifications" of delivery doesn't arrive until AFTER they're here. /john

Again, we have 17 scheduled for the first 30 days of production for 2022 models. I do not expect to have any others scheduled for that period. /john

We have 17 scheduled to be built in the first 30 days after 2022 builds start. Based on my assessment of the numbers (see previous post a couple of pages back), I don't think we'll see any more scheduled until they're running the second 30 days of builds. Here's what we have for a list of...

It's a rough life, being on the defensive all the time, but someone's gotta do it.... /john

The 2nd list isn't in any order that matters, it was just to be used to show how folks are ordering (other than the hard tops) based on the "big items" like engine, transmission, color, etc. /john

Those are "scheduled" and would of course be the "allocation". We have received 17 for the first 30 days of production in 2022. When we speak of normal allocation, we are talking about a number that Ford gives us well before they schedule any for the upcoming year/quarter/month. The above...

That's better. /john

Only 14ft ???? /john

Here's some more data. I can't give you a breakdown of MIC vs. Soft because it's not included with the data I get from Ford in a spreadsheet format. I may be able to find that somewhere in the future, but it's not known at this time. This is what's been ordered (236 actual orders so far)...

One customer just replied (I sent the last post above to everyone on an email blast) - "...it's like hitting the supply chain lottery." No truer words about Broncos have been spoken. /john

My Ford rep told us there's no hard number for allocations, it's based on commodities and "if they can build it, they will". If there's an allocation and my Ford rep was wrong, they haven't given us any numbers. As for "undelivered units". I have 268 orders in for 2022, about 30 of those are...

We really have no idea when the truck will show up with Broncos on it. /john

No previews this week. /john

And those other folks may be with a dealer than have a very small number of reservations. There's a lot of variables involved in this and most of the variables are not mentioned and not understood by the customer. /john
