📧 Bad news Friday... official email from Ford: "Urgent information regarding your Ford Bronco order."

[Dixie]

Well, I'm at 717 days so, yeah, feel like I got the shaft in this deal.

Tomorrow I pick up my first Bronco. It’s a Wildtrack, SAS, MIC, High Package. ‘23. 924 days.

I just got my email sating my Raptor is also done being built and should be at dealer Feb2-7. I had two reservations from day one, (hit the button twice to submit), the systems was messed up and took forever. I feel horrible for the day one reservation holders that are getting these letters. Someone who has been in this from day one, it’s horrible and ready to be in my rear view.

Well after waiting two years since reserving I will be throwing in the towel. I have enjoyed following this forum and was excited to have something cool and different but I have no interest in a soft top non Sasquatch. If they had offered money towards an F150 Raptor I might have considered it but, at this point, I am not going to reward Ford for this fiasco by purchasing from them.

Is the $2500 able to be used on a new Bronco on a dealer's lot? Why not find one close to your build and buy that? That $2500 credit will do great to knock off ADM to a reasonable level or eliminate it altogether.

But way over 900 days ? for Day 1 reservations ?

You do know, Miss Dixie, that you're not allowed to complain on this forum about having a Wildtrak down-graded, while at the same time announcing that your RAPTOR has been built and is on the way! Its just not kosher. But most here are very happy for you. Most.!

 

[ScuderiaCavallo]

At this point, I wonder if I can even place an order for a Wildtrak when the banks open...

Either way, I'm curious whether I can get the Grenadier or the Bronco first. Luckily I'm not in a hurry.

Oh no, I wasn’t complainin, I’m excited to get my Wildtrack tomorrow, I didn’t downgrade or change anything from my original reservation. It’s just taken 924 days to get it.

The Raptor is a separate vehicle, the night it opened for reservations, I accidentally submitted twice. Thereby ordering 2. Then I was a “Golden ticket draw“ from the first reservatio. I was just saying it made it to the build, and just got an email showing that shipped To dealer. i don’t know if I am keeping both as a his and hers, as hubby has a rubicon unlimited and doesn’t o ow if he wants one. So I was trying to be not kosher. My apologie. just giving my experience as a day one reservation holder x 2 and one was a raptor.

No email for me on my 2 door basesquatch... Maybe that's good news, maybe they just decided I needed no communication to keep the standards low.

Two door basesquatch 2.7 here as well. Original order went in August 2021, updated for 2022 and bupkis. Got the email from Ford and one from my dealership a few days before. So I switched my order to a 2 door BB 2.3 with mid. WTF the only thing the same is the color and amount of doors. Oy vey.

I'm just trying an attempt at humor. I've been enjoying my non-sas OBX for 26,000 miles and over 16 months now . . . Enjoy!

Those are rookie numbers, do better.

Sitting at 59k miles today, 14 months.

Here was email.

COngrats on the good news.

 

[Builtdadbodtough]

I know these are all first world problems, but this is tragic. Really really really bad look on Ford. At this point, there’s absolutely no way I will reward them with any sort of Ford purchase. 2020 res. What a joke.

Yup, Mark. You're #1! Either way, thats alot of miles! OBX Beach driving season is about to start, my Badlands take-offs go on this week. Also, the Besttop Skyrider, the soft top that replaces front and mid panels and leaves the rear cap in place, that arrives tomorrow as well. We enjoyed our trip to Texas Off-Roadeo in October from Charleston. You?

Ha ha, at this point I'm sure Ford will let you because of their track record, but if they are making us drop WT, it would make no sense if they did.

7/14/2020 Reservation. 1/2021 Order for a 2dr Wildtrak with Lux and Mod Top… that order got 99’d because of the Top.
9/2022 had to abandon the Mod Top option and reordered a 2dr Wildtrak with Lux and Mic Top. Im pretty much done compromising with Ford… if they cant build what they publicly offered at the time of ordering then I will do business with another auto maker. Land Rover built and delivered the exact Defender that I spec out while Ford has dragged out this cluster f@#k. I would like a 2dr Wildtrak …( would drop the Lux and Mic Top options but SAS is non negotiable)
If after all this time Ford wont build me a MY 2023 - 2dr Wildtrak with SAS then so be it. As a lifelong Ford Customer with driving age kids I will take my business elsewhere. @Ford Motor Company
