Just hoping our ZJ holds up till I get our Eagle running and painted, so I can get it out of the shop and try to fix my smoking fool injected Bronco with a head gasket, and all that keeps us running till our 1/12/22 Granger order gets built.

Hey, watch it.

The Bronco Sport Badlands has had a bunch of off-road reviews & videos where it does pretty well. Not a Bronco or Jeep Wrangler, but decent, and better than a Cross Trek, Rav 4 Trail Edition, and many others...and certainly much better than any of the Maverick "off-road" capabilities.
Ok ok But these two are totally different vehicles. the only thing they share is the name Bronco and Ford.
Frame interior and all the wonderful things about big Bronco are not in the general consumer pedestrian offering they have for the Sport. Maybe that is what they should call it "Sport"

Like when GM introduced H2 and all yuppies thought they were buying a Hummer (like Arnold) and all they got was badging, poor gas mileage and empty pride.

The marketing guys are absolute genius

Apparently, the allocation system favors large dealers, except those with high order volume. I wouldn't want to be #1300 at Granger when they have 150 allocations.

"Sport is based on the Ford Escape" and the category of buyers it is intended for.

that's fine, it leaves the real bronco for purist who will actually (hopefully) use it. Nothing wrong with the sport outside of sharing that name.

"What bothers me is seeing people on social media saying, ‘I just put my order in and I already got a VIN number.'"

I find those posts sus. That's not to say people who ordered later got their trucks earlier, I'm sure that happened. I just find the social media posts fishy

This is exactly what I said way before this article even though there's a really vocal person here who disagreed because I had no empirical data to back up the claim. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see here that small dealer orders were taking forever, large national sales gimmick orders (Like granger and chapman) were taking forever and large dealers with no sales gimmicks were not really taking a long time. I ordered my ecoboost almost the exact day as a friend ordered his from Chapman, both XL, 4k, CP360 except mine had SIBL and mine got scheduled in 2 weeks and he still has crickets. Also, his was priority 17 while mine was 19.

Like I've said before, Ford's allocation system is obviously important to their successful business model so the people crying that it should go away are naïve. If you ordered from a place like Granger or Chapman, GOOD LUCK! If you ordered from a small dealer that has a lot of other orders, GOOD LUCK! If you're going to place an order in August for a 23 I suggest finding a larger dealer and specifically ask about their allocation numbers and how many orders were placed before yours to get an idea of how long you'll wait.

I ordered mine in June of 2020 and I'm listed in the 400's. People that have ordered their Maverick much much later are driving their's already. I just received an email that mine won't be produced until February 21st, then another email that said it would go into production on March 21 and the last email I received a couple days ago say February 28th. So it sounds like Ford is all messed up. It's bad enough buying a vehicle site or test drive unseen but having to wait while other's who ordered later than me get theirs already.

I guess my question for @Granger Ford would be, if you had this experience with your Bronco promotion, why do the same thing for the Maverick? Was there some indication that you would be able to get more Mavericks than the 10-11 Broncos you get a month, or did you just decide hey, we're already in it, might as well double down? :ROFLMAO:

What other dealer in the middle of nowhere midwest do you know of by name? This was a promotion gimmick, they got their name out there and I live by the saying if it seems too good to be true.......it's why I didn't bother at all ordering through them or Chapman.

Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley told Bloomberg. “All we can do at this point is scale as fast as we can and break the constraints AND COMMUNICATE TO (BUYERS) what's realistic.”
So Jim, at what point is this communication between Ford and it's buyer's going to take place? 🤔
Pretty much. That statement smells like happy blather. I think they carefully planned the model run for X many trucks a month and that is as much as they can make. Unless we see a big spike in monthly production numbers there is no scaling going on.

Although I have no social media I placed an order in January and had a VIN and production date the same month so take that for what it is. I really don't get all the conspiracy theories out there like Ford has time to plant people to make claims on social media.
