Did I order something unique to cause delay?

He did say that Ford is offering discounts to people placing orders with soft tops because there are constraints on hard tops. I couldn’t find anything on the internet about it. I was too bummed about my order so I didn’t think about asking what the discount was.

My dealer said..

Pretty sure he is FOS.

Thanks guys! Is there a way to tell what the dealership's allocation amount actually is? I'm in the DC suburbs, a major market, but a relatively small dealership when compared to others around us.

I don't think any dealership would tell me the truth if they're only allocated 1/month and I'm #5 on that list. I would just pull the order from the little guy and go with the mega-dealer on the other side of town, which isn't want I really want to do. But.....

If I had a dealer I would tell the customer my allocation numbers and their place in line to keep expectations in check and undue stress and excessive communications back and forth. The dealer doesnt make any money until the vehicle is in the lot and sold and if that takes too long they might loose the sale anyway and the customer.

I'm reading where OB orders made after mine (12/26/23) are receiving their build dates now. I'm curious if I ordered something that could cause a delay from me being assigned a build date window? I received the 45 day reconfirmation of my order email, saying they're still working on scheduling and will be back to me in another 45 days... Huh?

Mine is a 2024, O/Banks, 4-door, non-sas, lux, dual top, tow package, steel bumper with brush guard, 4.27 rear end for the locker. Basically everything except the Sasquatch package. Color is eruption green.

Do any of you far more experienced folks see anything in there that could cause it to be delayed?

I spoke to my dealer last week, and they saw only 5 waiting for vin's in their own order banks. Said that was a good sign as it's usually been 5x's that number, but not sure if that speaks more to slower sales than faster manufacturing?

Thanks!!

Most of us waited 9 months to 2 years for our Bronco's.
