@Zach@Granger it was in the post below.

Thanks!

So the way I'm reading that it would not be until 10/14 or shortly before that your 2021 order would need to be accepted. I think we'll be ordering and managing 2021 orders through the end of September potentially, even though the 2022 orders can be placed.

Then 2022s will start scheduling mid-october.

Well have 40 days to get 2022 orders straightener out.

No, you're in the tough spot. I'm sure there will be soft tops built now that will show up before yours. Logistically Ford isn't set up to make that switch on the fly.

So maybe because I have had too many Oktoberfest beers already that I am not understanding, but if I have a VIN and won't (couldn't even) switch to a soft top, how does that affect your allocations. Are we already considered in your allocation assuming they can build a hard top in MY '21?

Correct, if you have a VIN you have an allocation unit.

The other silver lining for ‘22 builds is added options.

-a few new special editions

-New colors, including green

-Sasquatch with manual

@Zach@Granger Do you know of other new options that will be available for model year 22?

Awesome, as usual Zach thanks for the precise clarification.

I had A Wildtrak on order and took your advice and changed it to a Badlands soft top with Hunter on Friday. Any idea if you’d know whether I’m within your allocation for MY21 or not?

Production week scheduling this week for build week of 9/6/21.

We won't know until things schedule, but I think we'll get 90%+ of our soft top orders scheduled

@Zach@Granger, have you gotten any indication FOMOCO may limit Mansquatch to certain trims, I.E. just to Badlands, etc? A lot of rumblings about it here, I personally don’t think so, but after mid/manual and the way everything else has gone, nothing surprises me at this point. I switched my order with Hunter the week before the top announcement to a base in anticipation of Mansquatch, just curious if I’m gonna screw myself out of 7mt.
Thanks again for all the communication and updates!

Great example of professional communication by a dealership. Concise, accurate, and open. Nicely done, too bad @Ford Motor Company, hasn't been able to achieve this level of professionalism.

Wow! That would be impressive! I won’t hold out hopes as I was anticipating to get mine in December- February time frame. I was a third day reservation holder so I’ve kinda been on the line of MY21 or MY22.

@Zach@Granger, thank you for all the info!

Would you mind sharing how many of your customers switched to soft top? Or how many soft top orders does granger have?

I’m just trying to figure if someone like me, who has a relatively late 7/23 reservation date, will have any chance getting their car from your dealer soon. I switched to soft top, 4dr badlands, Lux, 2.7, tow.

90% for 21s?

Nothing to add but I drove around in Granger's demos yesterday and it was really hard to give back the keys. Made the switch to the soft top.
