One would assume that allocation won't matter for reservations, otherwise there would have been a limit when selecting dealersthe 'we'll build more or less by reservation number' and dealer allocation is going to be interesting to see. If a dealer has 1000 reservations but say a yearly allocation of 500, how will that play out? My uneducated guess would be that if I were to transfer to Granger or similar now I'd be waiting a good long time to get my ride, because what ever gets built will have to be spread across all dealers in some workable fashion. Just because they offer the best deal can't really mean that Joe in Maine will have to wait 3 years because they stick with their local dealer.
Plus how many sales/deliveries can a dealer logistically process per day/week/month? How many can be trucked there and prepped for sale? Would be interesting to learn more about the logistics.
I'm sticking with my local dealer unless they get screwy, which I doubt. I'm not flying anywhere for a bit of savings, travel cost and the pretty much required road trip through areas I'd never visit (though they might be pretty, who knows?) is not worth it to me. My local dealer has pretty good reviews, I never owned a Ford and don't know them, but hope they'll be as decent as the reviews make them sound.
So far no cold feet here, I have a rough idea where I'll end up in price, if B&P comes as a bad surprise I'll have to look for something else. Not ready to compromise on features I want, but also not ready to spend thousands more, it's already going to be the most expensive vehicle I ever bought already.
Does someone have links for these documents? I'm interested in reading. I am thinking of changing to Stephens. But this has me a bit nervous. I'm within the first 3 days. I didn't know this could be a problem. I just figured Ford will deliver based on time stamp. Not dealer allocation...I have read the statements. There is NO WAY Ford will not deliver a reserved vehicle that is turned into an actual order.
Wait till people start wanting to change dealers by the thousands and the call center gets so totally overwhelmed that the entire process crashes.I will say the dealership that I mentioned earlier about no ADM said this release is an absolute shit show. He said no one knows how it's going to go at this point and in no way organized enough for the amount of pre-orders for it to go smoothly at all.
Its been said in other threads that the dealers are being instructed to not charge over MSRP. To me, this makes sense and would be in line with not accepting X-plan. While that does suck, at least we won't get further screwed with price gouging.That is why many of us are doing Granger/Stephens. X-plan only saves an additional $300. If these new changes stick, more ppl will be going there. With no X-plan, dealers can pretty much charge what they want
Hang tight and get a base Bronco as cheap as you can. The Ranger is changing body styles as you know and price is going to go way down.I think I’m going this route after first of year.
Maybe out of a job depending on election outcome (I sell firearms). I can revisit the Bronco in year 2 or three. I’ll still be here talking shit, but spending a lot of time at Ranger5g forums now. Also waiting to see new Frontier (6 cylinders, no turbo and I’m still going strong at 208k on my 2010 Fronty)
YES!! I am glad someone else on the planet saw that video. Every time I hear the dryer start I want to pick up my guitar. Mine isn't nearly that bad....yet.This guy knows!
I'm down with an electric urban car, it would get a lot of usage in my household, and range would not be an issue. (Once the prices come closer to econo gasoline car equivalents.)Problem with Rivian in the first couple of years or even more after the initial launch will be lack of super charging network, with out a super charging network EVs are very restrictive for road trips .
At least for me Rivian is too big for lot off-road trails around here in Colorado.
