"Are high volume dealers having orders (retail and/or stock) being prioritized"

Yes. By a huge margin. "Allocation" has become the industry norm. All orders are most certainly not equal...

"Are high volume dealers having orders (retail and/or stock) being prioritized"

Yes. By a huge margin. "Allocation" has become the industry norm. All orders are most certainly not equal...

So the COVP is basically BS. All customer orders are required to be verified now, and they are supposed to receive priority scheduling, but it's almost like the whole point of the program is to give smaller dealerships the illusion that they aren't being treated as second class entities.

It's possible I just have the me-ness turned up to 11 and I'm hyperfocusing on this as a way to generate unnecessary stress.

"and they are supposed to receive priority scheduling"
The beauty of allocation is that virtually any order change can be called priority...

I really have no idea why it took so long. Many with the same specs as mine have been delivered already and ordered after. Doesn't make alot of sense. But it is what it is I guess. If the kiddo didn't need a safe and reliable car to drive I would probably let it go to the sale lot. This one has all the boxes checked except the power roof and tow package.

So I ordered my BSBL from a small dealership on 1-14-2022. It’s being built now and I have my window sticker. When I ordered the BSBL, I carried a printout of the $1,000 discount for ordering and a $500 discount for military and was immediately given both discounts without further discussion. This is an honest, not high volume dealer. Thank you Prince Frederick, MD, Ford!

Badlands order and delivery process:

1/20/22: Your vehicle is scheduled to be built the week of February 14, 2022.
1/26/22: Your vehicle is now scheduled to be built the week of February 21, 2022.
2/5/22: Your vehicle is now scheduled to be built the week of February 28, 2022.

3/4/22: Your new 2022 Bronco™ Sport Badlands™ has shipped and is on its way! Our current estimate for delivery is between March 31, 2022 and April 6, 2022.
3/25/22: Picked up Badlands at dealer earlier today.

It was delivered sooner than estimated, which surprised me.

Transaction went smoothly -- other than the obligatory pushing of the extended warranties. No MSRP increases (I was not expecting any) and no attempted extortion (ADM).

Salesman initially said the $1,000 Ford "custom order rebate" was not available for the BS. I had to press it a bit but we got it, as well as 0.9% financing.

Awesome! Did it come as ordered or will they have to install some chips later?

Good for you! We ordered Oct 28, so maybe we will hear something soon.

I hope you do! Those of us ordered back early November (11/6 here) are getting build weeks in May so I hope you do as well!

Came as ordered BUT:

1) Salesman and finance guy insisted that the $1,000 order credit did not apply. I finally convinced them it did but had to look it up online. I started a thread about that.

2) Beware of "FordPass". Our salesman really pushed it. By using it you give Ford permission to Hoover up a LOT of data (I plan to start another thread about this issue):

Vehicle Location may also be derived from IP address.
