Any Hope

Right, because mother ford has been so forthcoming and honest so far throughout this process. I also didn’t say that I believe that allocations don’t matter, but I can see how someone with poor reading comprehension would think that I did. All I said is that I’ve been told that special orders don’t count toward a dealer’s allocation, and have even seen where Ford said that in an email that they sent to people who are changing their orders to Raptors.

To me, it seems like some dealers who promised better pricing got flooded with orders, but it bit them in the ass because Ford still has to provide inventory to their other lower volume dealers.

I simply gave an account of my experience and said that none of us really know the formula to getting a bronco faster. You can hypothesize all you like, but much of what has been documented here has also been contradicted by other examples that have been documented here.

For what it’s worth, I do believe you that walking in to the right dealer at the right time can get you a positive result, because Ford can’t let four or five dealers monopolize their inventory no matter how much volume they move.

You think the order date within the order window mattered.

All depends on what number in line you are with you dealer.

I really think this has a lot to do with it! I just got a VIN and I am only 80 days from initial order.. and my order was full of constraints.

Is Ford funishing the customers on the reservation list?

Congrats Romano! As I’ve stated earlier, allocations are almost all that matters now. Your dealer had available allocation and your build fit. You win.

Hey maybe some here are right! Order later you win.

Edit: Please tell us your build. For fun.

Sorry. No. See post three above this one.

Obviously there is all of the calculus surrounding dealer allocations but based on recent news (aka snow mountain) I think that the primary factor this year is microprocessor availability. I have no doubt that Ford is trying to produce as much product possible but they are being hamstrung. I am in the KC area and they produce F150's here. The F150 represents a great deal of profit for Ford and the plant is idle now.

Of course! ITs a CO, Auto, BL, SQuatch, Lux, and the dealer could only get me the 2.3.

Also, I was there when he showed my vin on his computer and he said and I saw there was atleast 200 that ordered before me but mine was picked..?
