Can someone explain the allocation debit and credit etc? Is it basically saying their allocation should be 69 Bronco's but since they have 106 current orders they can't place any new ones? So what does this mean for customers with existing orders with Chapman? It's my understanding that Ford...

No idea what they'll charge for it, but I just cancelled my order on a 23' Eruption Green Wildtrak 2.7 4dr Lux SAS that arrived at the dealer today from a march order. Dual top, HD bumper, headliner, tow package, leather trim seats, full steel bash plates, etc. MSRP at $69k. So if someone is...

Can't say for anyone else but I did notice today that my tracker is back to showing scheduled production of 6/19

Yeah, I basically have no expectation mine will actually get built this fast, even in 23'. My order hit most of the constraints. Wildtrack, 4dr, Lux, dual top, SAS. If it does that's great, if not happy to wait, so many have been waiting tons longer than I have.

I suppose it's possible they don't meet domestic requirements, like emissions etc. for US sales. Also the rest of the world has very different vehicle safety and regulation rules for vehicles than the US does. Any car maker that makes cars for overseas and the US, basically builds a US...

I didn't get the error email, but I did get a confirmation on 4/27 my bronco was scheduled for June 19 week production. The tracker reflected that scheduling info at the time. I checked a couple days ago and it now no longer says it's scheduled at all, it only lists it as order confirmed in...

Interesting on Koch, I visited a couple of their dealers when I was 4-runner shopping a couple years ago, and was very turned off. They had by far the highest market adjustments of any other Toyota dealers. When I started Bronco shopping I avoided them due to the red flag of them having lots...

Chains are an interesting thing these days, seems the vast majority of manuals for off-road vehicles now recommend against chains. Not enough clearance from suspension/brake/driveline components. I've noticed this recently on most 1/2 ton pickups as well, even those with off-road specific...

So what happened to all the techs? They didn't all die from covid, they certainly didn't all retire, did they all just move onto better jobs? I doubt hard working folks that were techs before covid all just decided to be lazy and sit on the couch now. Did they get better jobs in other...

I agree that some in demand vehicles are defying the odds, while others crash. Yukon/Tahoe's are still ridiculously hard to get unless you want base trim and the small engine, and customers will sit on those orders for 18+ months, while a lot of Z72, AT4 pickup orders get cancelled after a few...

What is the story with COVP? I've read some posts saying it's required, but the dealer I ordered with did not have me sign anything, I just provided my DL, and verified the build/order preview. I asked them about it a couple times and they said it wasn't an issue. I did get an order...

I had that happen on one of my orders, It seems like usually that means the dealer either didn't use your email on the order, or it had a typo etc. In my case the dealer got my email entered wrong. It seems like there's no fix for this either, I talked to my dealer and it sounded like they...

It's interesting they made a huge deal that orders were closing in probably less than 24 hours and here we are 4 days later and as far as I know ordering is still open. Wonder if the response was less than anticipated. I had one dealer take 4 days to actually submit the order (not till...

I did contact the dealers. One sent me what they called a "DORA" however in doing some reading it sounds like it's actually not a DORA it's a preview from the WBDO (whatever that is) because it says "This order has not been submitted to the order bank" at the bottom. The other dealer sent me...

Supposedly I had two dealers put in orders for me early yesterday, but never got anything from Ford and no further communications from dealers aside asking me to confirm my options. Both were highly constrained but different builds so who knows if Ford even accepted them. Honestly I was...

zero at two dealers I talked to, one dealer was $500 refundable.

So if you don't get an email confirmation from Ford on your order, how long should a person wait to ask your dealer about it?

I was also oddly surprised at how positive dealers were about just placing an order and "getting in line" even if your order was very highly constrained. Is there a benefit for dealers if someone cancels/abandons their order because it's taking too long? Even those not requiring a deposit of...

No Base is simply $$$, The manufacturer cost difference between a $35k base model 1/2 ton and $90k AT4x is probably less than $15k. So if you can only build 1 of when which would you rather sell? The one you make $5k on, or the one you make $50k on? We're seeing all car companies do this...

Yeah I may just hold off till 24' orders open and re-evaluate, I'm not in a hurry. Most of the dealers I've talked to said it's unlikely I'd get what I want built in 23' with the constraints and I'm not going to order something spec'd around the constraints just to get a Bronco faster. Those...
