Welcome to the party.

It's not a fun one but..

We're all in this together

I threw up a little saying that.

hang in there...while people who never reserved and just randomly ordered a week ago get theirs built and are driving around in their constraint filled Broncos next month.

I would love to know what genius at Ford came up with this stupid ass allocation system.

Apparently the reservation and times stamp mean close to nothing. This thread guy has two Badlands on order, one is at largest dealer in city. Its a reservation. Has another on order at a different dealer in the city, no reservation and its got a build date.
Two orders

Ford could not have screwed this up worse if they had Planned it. 7-15-2020 reservation

Saw it. Can't believe it. And, he did not cancel the second order after getting a build date. He is the third person I've seen on the site do this. Besides jumping to the front of the line ahead of day one and two orders, they seem not to understand that their second, unwanted order is going to the dealer (they'll sell with ADM) and further delaying day one and two orders. Then they want to be congratulated for being so smart and gaming the system. That's like someone who cuts the line at the grocery store wanting to be congratulated. Really?

In the meantime @Ford knows what is happening and does nothing. It won't be so funny when these cancelled orders start piling up.

I do not blame this guy at all. All he did you clearly show how flawed and crappy @Ford this whole mess has been. His reservation should have been built first. Thats what Ford told us would happen July of 2020 and again in the fall. They are the same build so you cant use the constraint excuse.

I do place 100% of the Blame on @Ford. Especially when an identical vehicle is built with out a reservation.

My patients is wearing very thin. As was stated welcome to the 600 club. Then it will be the 700 club.

I had given up too. Then I got an E Mail with a build week. I don't know how good the date is- whether it will be delayed like others, etc. Don't have my hopes up. And my dealer just might tack on ADM, which means a no go for me as well. I can barely afford it at sticker, never mind ADM. So we'll see......

Yep. I'm a 4am 7/14/2020 reservation and have seen my exact build be built and delivered - one with a late reservation and another with no reservation. It's not constraints people have the issue with... It's @Ford 's allocation system that rewards large dealers and hurts customers and smaller dealerships.

Especially since it was changed from the initial bronco roll out to for 2022 favor the Large dealers even more. That action almost totally removed the value of being a early reservation holder.

@Ford does not care if early reservations are filled any more.

Reservation only matters at the dealership now. I'm at a dealership that had over two thousand reservations before the @Ford allocation change. Now there is little hope for most of those reservation holders since Ford is allocating only 10 Broncos per month at the dealership. So wrong. That dealership worked hard to serve the market for Ford and spent many hundreds of hours answering questions and supporting customers. Now most of those reservation holders have no choice but to jump ship to another dealership if they ever hope to get a Bronco.

@Ford Motor Company @mrlevine definitely do not care
