The thing is you won’t make much of an impact with the number of pages if the majority of the posts come from the same 4 or 5 people, and only have one new person post their thoughts every so often.

You need more prospective FE owners complaining and not more complaining from the same prospective FE owners.

Did that poll about the interior trims end up going to Mike yet? It’s a more quantitative measurement that may have a greater impact.

The reality is there are a great number of people OUTSIDE this forum that have ordered the FE and don't know there is only one (Blue Death) interior. I would guess a lot, probably more then three quarters of the 7000 that only know about a "unique, only FE interior" and have no idea its Blue Death. The majority of complaints won't come until December when the configurator or visit to their local Ford dealership drops them the info......then the head scratching.........and......eventually the "WHAT THE?!". ?‍♂

In my line of work there's no need for the second phrase . . . "Thank you for your input." has always been code for Go F yourself. Fortunately the majority of the people to whom that is directed have no idea and think we genuinely appreciated their worthless input, LOL.
Yup and don't forget to add, "We value your feedback. We're listening" somewhere in there too.

Not one word on white tops and grilles from what I've seen. I should have asked lol, I thought for sure that it would have been asked 200 times. This is important lol, it directly effects my color choice. Antimatter with white top and grille and such is my JAM.

It’s true. More emotions fade the more I’ll come to my senses. Will happily switch to a CPO LR Disco that is 70k new for less than 55k, than getting jerked around on a 30k Ford that’s optioned up to 55k

Question about white tops was asked multiple times. I asked myself. They unfortunately did not respond to any of them...

they obviously couldn’t respond to every question/tweet.

but I was REALLY hoping we would get that answered.

Pricing this fall??? So exactly what does the "Build and Price Tool" coming in August do??? ?‍♂
It's going to be a Build & Guess tool it appears.

Our grocery cart will be full of delicious things, but we when get to the register to pay we're going to have to put a few things back.

Considering the whole twitter Q&A is commenting on future products, I find it interesting they pulled out this tired line for this question. Reading between the lines, did they just say yes?

Had an epiphany at about 3am. He was talking about the Warthog.

Did you really expect much different?
Yep I think we actually thought they would answer questions of a vehicle they have been hyping and developing for years now. It’s not much to expect a company who sells 40k plus vehicles to answer some basic stuff about their product..
It’s basic business..

Spoke with a Bronco Specialist at a dealer last Sunday who said minimum he expects Sasquatch package to come in at $2kish, which is pretty reasonable IMO.
I am guessing that is the Badlands price. All the other models will get lockers, upgraded front axle, Bilsteins, IFS arms, etc. before even getting to wheels and tires.

If we take the difference between Badlands and Black Diamond as a proxy, we’re taking something like $6000, and that doesn’t including adding auto.

Yeah, I was wondering if that Orange one on a different rear diff setup and two inch lift / 37’s is a bit of a in the open reveal of Warthogs to come. (That and the shorty pickup thing we had testing video of.)

Well that was the biggest twitter PR stunt I've seen in awhile. Announce you are going to be answering questions live, then answer maybe 20 actual questions over a 45 minute period most of which were known. I feel like they are just playing with us at this point to keep us engaged. Such a waste of time.

FORD MARKETING INTERN:
Hey boss, I have to write a term paper this weekend, okay if I hold a Twitter Bronco Q&A this afternoon so I can gather some research for my paper?

FORD MARKETING BOSS:
You know we're not authorized to divulge any new details beyond what has been revealed!

FORD MARKETING INTERN:
Of course, I agree, but you know most people don't bother reading all of the Bronco webpages or read the pdf information files we released.

FORD MARKETING BOSS:
Well if you can limit the answers to what has already been released then yes, it's fine, go ahead and do it, but just remember to either ignore or use our canned answer " We hear you and are listening " to anything we don't want to talk about.

Oh, one more thing, if someone asks about the Build and Price webpage just let something slip like "in the fall" since we are behind schedule as usual.

Passive is probably a hole with a plug screwed in that is inconvenient to mess with. Active is probably a valve Or something to drain without hassle.
I always assumed passive plugs had a one way “duck bill” shaped valve. Where water could drain out by gravity and the valve self closes. The active drains are a threaded plug that opens a hole in the floor.
