Build by Reservation Number?

[Fonz54]

Got a call from my sales person yesterday. My heart always skips a beat when I see the number from the dealership pop up on my phone. None the less it was not a call to tell me that my rig was being built. Just checking to see if I was still interested in taking delivery of my Bronco. Is the Pope Catholic? He was telling me how much he like Hot Pepper Red, yada, yada. I asked him where I stood in their allocation. His answer was that I am right at the top of the list, hahaha! Then he said "Lets see you reservation starts with 102 - well Ford is still working on 101 reservations". And then the piece de resistance - "Based on having a 102 reservation number you may have to wait until the 2023 MY." WTF? I said that it really is dependent on their allocation numbers and supply chain issues/show stopper features. He said "Well time will tell". Does anyone buy into the BS about Ford still working on 101 reservation numbers? Clearly there are day one reservation holders with 101 number who have yet to get their Bronco and I am sure others who have reservation numbers higher that 102 who have already receive their Bronco.

I’m a day ahead of you with a 102 number, pretty sure it doesn’t mean that much anymore

July 15th reservation, I've got a 102 order number I'm sitting here with my thumb up my ass like the rest watching reservations and walk in orders with same build after mine drive up and down the road.

It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.

Ford isn't building reservations in order of number, so this is more "my dealer said" nonsense. Nothing to see here, moving on

104, reservation number start. August 2020 reservation. It found it’s way to my garage on Mar 12, 22. My opinion, your dealer is stalling you.
Two door CO BL, 2.3 auto ,lux, MGV, roof rack, no tow, non Sasquatch.

Forgot to add this part. He said "If I get another Bronco in that might not be yours but has as similar build would you be interested in considering that instead of waiting for you Bronco?". I asked if that would be a dealer ordered unit or if someone reneged on their order. He said it could be either case. I told him I would have to wait and see. I mean what kind of flim flam is this shit?

Dealer number 1 is a very large dealer and has 600 reservations/orders and get fifteen Broncos per month. You might be reservation 497 on their list.

Dealer number 2 is a small town dealer with 50 reservations/orders and gets ten Broncos per month and you happened to be reservation 31 on their list

You reserved during the first month therefore your res number is a 101 number.

The other guy reserved a year later. He has a 104 number.

He will get his before you get yours.

I know go figure. Never did understand that new fangled arithmetic!

Had to read this just for the chuckle since reservations meant nothing, let's see, about 2 months later...

Six Hundred and sixteen days since I made my reservation and getting frickin' older!
