730 Days and Counting - No Scheduling. Getting pushed to 2023.

Glad someone is in here with me - wish we could get some free drinks at least

The last two weeks have been miserable - wearing out the backdoor site and hoping every day that I would be included in one of the final scheduling runs for MY 2022. Seeing others (congrats regardless!) with no reservations and walk in orders late 2021 be pulled for production, seeing folks with walk in orders during Q1 2022 already in their new vehicles, and worst of all seeing my dealer with 6+ on the lot right now for $25k+ over sticker. Since I've been increasingly aware and frustrated with the situation (the last 4 months as I was planning a road trip through the national parks this fall - obviously not happening now) my dealer has moved 50+ Bronco's off the lot in egregious excess of MSRP. Reality has set in that I'm getting pushed to a '23 and I simply cannot understand why. My build has absolutely nothing unique about it (see signature). I've pulled everything but a hard top.

My question is does anyone know the extent or have a guess of how many 2020 reservation holders remain in this situation? It has to be dealer specific. There is no other explanation except I got stuck with a mega volume dealer who is prioritizing their P&L before fulfilling customer orders. Wouldn't be surprised if my order has been marked P99 after how many times I've inquired and ranted publicly about the situation. I've never even gotten the "build - clean" status or whatever from Ford chat after 10+ reach out attempts. I've called the Bronco support line and gotten the same response week after week, and my dealer continues to tell me they know absolutely nothing and are at the will of Ford. I am stunned as to how this entire situation has played out.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I will keep saying it until I'm blue in the face... MIC hard top is probably the biggest constraint. And maybe LUX after that. I haven't seen a ton of Broncos out my way, but most are soft tops, I think I've seen 2 hard tops. Out of curiosity, of all those you've seen your dealer sell, how many were hard tops? Because it sounds like your dealer is getting allocations. And lastly, 730 days ago, August 24th you made your reservation? Have to remember, the first 2 days (7/13-7/15) they had well over 100k reservations (if I remember correctly). So take the fact that you were in essence late to the game, and not getting a Base or Big Bend. Have to ask one final question... mega dealer... or mega orders as in Granger? Unfortunately there's just too many factors that go into this. My wait was about 16 months. And like you said, my step kid, ordered in January 2022, had his by May 2022. Albeit and Base model, only add were the aux switches.

Of the 6 on the lot right now all are hard top - seeing tons of hard tops around town here daily
