Rollover Allocations; Can anyone clarify them?

[Waterick]

I have a rollover MY23 to MY24 on order at a small family owned dealership. I am under the impression that not all dealers get allocations every month. I am also told that Ford wants to build and maybe deliver rollover orders before new MY2024 orders. Question is: will dealers with rollover orders get early allocations to support early delivery goals? I understood that the rollover orders were still to be completed with the allocation system. Just seems to conflict...anyone?

That is true. Allocation will still be needed in order for an order to be considered for scheduling. Ford hasn't told dealers how the # of rollover orders that they have will impact the timing of allocation.

Allocation will probably be spreadout over the allocation cycle. Timing will probably mostly depend on the % of your dealers allocation that is taken up by rollovers. If the dealer gets 20 Mavericks, but 15 are rollovers, some of those rollovers will take quite a while to schedule!

Ford may take # of rollovers into consideration, but we just don't know. All rollover orders that were properly entered should have been upped to 02 priority by Ford by now. So Ford knows how many rollover orders there are. And what dealers they are at. We'll have to see what happens!

that's very interesting. I assume that despite all rollovers moving to priority 2, that they can and will still wait for each dealer's allocation and for some dealerships (there's well over 2,500 of them) they will get some net new / not rollover orders built early if they don't have a rollover that can be built.

all of which will confuse and annoy some who have been waiting for a long time.

but that's the way the ordering system goes, it isn't one line, each dealership has a line.

Timing of those allocations matter as well. My dealership pretty much got all of their MY23 allocation scheduled starting in May. They are a smaller dealership within a much larger dealership group.

Yes, that is exactly right. I do expect that allocation will be, well allocated, with rollovers in mind (since Ford does want to get these prioritized), but there will certainly be new 24 orders (and possibly stock orders) built before all of the rollovers are built.

I do think that most rollovers will be scheduled in early on (first 3 months?), but some will certainly take longer to schedule.
