Winder – October 14, 2026 -- Drivers in Georgia can now reserve a factory-ordered 2027 Ford Bronco through the online order bank at Akins Ford, choosing trim, paint color and off-road packages before production begins.

Buyers configure the Bronco before it is built

The dealership says an online order gives buyers priority placement in the build queue. Customers pick their engine, transmission, door layout and equipment group directly from the factory line.

Akins Ford also promises clear pricing with no hidden dealer markups. It describes itself as one of the largest Ford hubs in the nation and says that size brings substantial inventory allocations and faster fulfillment.
