After a 64-minute wait, I got through to a genuinely nice customer support person within the Ford Marketing Division at 1-800-334-4375, option #3.

I called to change my Bronco dealer to one who should have more allocations as based on the MY22 allocation formula. Although we had a very pleasant conversation, she was not empowered to complete my request. Information was gathered and will be sent to a review board who may get back in touch within 7 days. Fingers crossed!

I will admit, I thought this process to obtain a Bronco might not be worth the effort. I changed my mind early this morning when I obtained a message from @SlashRacer who encouraged me to keep trying. He said, “We need you.” A simple message which meant the world to me!

If you are like me, challenged to complete your journey to own a Bronco, please know that we need you. It is our community which is the greatest benefit to owning a Bronco. We need you to keep trying.

You "my friend" are the most resourceful member we have, besides the BN staff. I'm glad you have not thrown in the towel and gave up. The bronco community needs you and we would be losing an extremely valuable resource. It has been an extremely bumpy road for us to get to where we are at now.

We need everyone!!!

Right now all I can think of is Dora from Finding Nemo. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

Hang in there. We will get our broncos!!!

Last night I thought a lot about this journey to owning a Bronco and all the work done by many Bronco enthusiasts as they worked tirelessly to bring back the Bronco.
For those who are new to Bronco Nation, I attached a link below. The video is titled “Bronco Celebration” and worth watching. I hope you enjoy it.
I had an opportunity to volunteer to be part of this video as they were seeking customers to participate. In the video I was joyful to hear Jim Farley tell me, “You are now officially part of the Ford family.”
I guess you can never truly leave your family. If you watch this video, please consider yourself to be officially part of the Ford family!

@BuzzyBud hang in there brother - good things come to those who wait! (and, Carbonized Great is the best color)

If you get down to NY, hit me up and you can drive my Bronco anytime and likewise, if I get up to NH you bet that I will seek you out so you can enjoy what you deserve!

Glad you decided to stay. I'm a late reservation/order and the delays are definitely on my mind, so I can't imagine how some of the early or day 1 folks feel. It does seem like this community is going to be worth the wait!
