My reservation number did not change still within the first 20k. But I am worried about this dealer allocation thing that's happening over in the Bronco forums.
Two follow ups.

1)How do you know your place in line? I did wait a few weeks to make reserveration so I am know I am not super low but when I subtracted my reservation number from the lowest I can find it was a couple of hundred thousand higher which I think is more then the total number of reservations- 11009XXX

2)Which dealer allocation issue are you referring to? I heard a few issues about allocating Broncos but they mostly just seemed to be about a long process

I'm trying to get caught up on what's going on with the allocations. So if I'm reading this correctly, if I've got a reservation at a dealer with a very high number of reservations, I'm not likely to see my order come through any time soon? Because if that's the case, I'm re-considering my choice of dealership.

Just stopped in the dealer (woodbridge ford) as it changed ownership that I reserved at to ask some questions and now find out all the sudden now they are definitely charging at least $5K ADM maybe more was the quote. So currently on the phone with ford going to change my reservation to fullerton ford as I called them and they are doing MSRP only like mentioned in the bronco forums.

I am referring to my number based on the original number chart in these forums with like 10803XXX being the first assumed. I am at 10821XXX but this is still speculatory. These were day one reservations I don't know when Ford jumped the number higher or if their other vehicles add to the same reservation number.

The Bronco issue is that larger dealerships who were not getting enough broncos to stock their open lots complained and wanted more allocations ahead of reservation holders that went to smaller dealerships offering better incentives/no markups. So now Ford is pushing allocations to the big dealers and bypassing reservations.

Does anyone know of a good dealer is South Florida that will not charge ADM? The dealer that I made reservation with will not commit. Thanks

ok.. my number puts me at 190,000th which cant be right. I guess for that day 1 it might be mostly f150s but other cars/trucks seem to use same numbers or they skipped numbers

It has been discussed over and over that the reservation number is not sequential and that the same numbering system is used for all Ford vehicles. Ford has made announcements as they have hit milestones with orders so if you go and find the timing of these announcements and correlate the time that you placed your reservation you should have a rough idea of where you are in line. However, when you actually get your vehicle depends on a myriad of factors including how many people actually convert to orders. Also there's always the chance that you'll find one that someone has abandoned.

I would love to know this as well. The dealer I selected is charging a 3k ADM. I would like to change the dealer but I already paid the deposit and the dealer accepted the order. I was told I am #1. I am worried that I won't get a MY22 if I change dealers at this point.

Others have changed dealers before hitting the submit order button. I don’t think you’d be able to change now after the fact but you can certainly call ford and see.

Is that really possible to do? I haven't seen anybody say they've changed dealers before hitting submit. Would the dealer that you change to get to essentially steal that allocation slot from the other dealer? Or would they get docked one further down the line in a subsequent wave?

Nobody knows those answers but Ford. And two people have posted about it on this forum if memory serves.
