I'm out.

[calgecko]

Ford just kept screwing things up too bad - I couldn't take the punches any more. Tonight, I pulled the trigger - I traded in my 2016 Ecoboost Mustang for a 2021 Chevy ZR2 Colorado Crew Cab. They made it such a sweet deal, it was hard to pass up .. employee pricing, plus $1000 cash back, AND another $1000 off because I'm a Costco member... so it ended up coming out over $10k less than the Bronco I was planning on getting. It's bittersweet - I'm excited to get this new truck (I've NEVER owned a Chevy before).. but I'm sad that Ford created such a negative experience that pushed me to this point .. I hope you guys all end up enjoying your Broncos when you end up getting them, and I hope Ford figures this process out to avoid more frustrations, missed promises, disappointment and damage to their customer loyalty. I realized hoe unhealthy this whole experience has been - the ups and downs, the anger, disappointment, frustration, etc - I couldn't take any more.

Ugh , totally understand.

1....maybe two years back, one of the guys dropped out and bought a Jeep, which of course , we blew him some good natured crap about it ...... I believe it was going to be a "bridge vehicle" for him, a placeholder until the Bronco was in full production and the bugs worked out, etc etc.

Looking back at that, he's been out doing Jeep things all this while , while I/we have been driving the holy fuck out of this keyboard.

At this point, for me, I want the Bronco and will wait and am to invested in the process. I don't see the point/value in buying a car for 9 - 12 months. Now, if it were a year or 3 back ...I'd get a 4Runner or something and go about my life until 2024-ish when it was paid off.

Enjoy , my man! I bet it was a tough decision to make.

Cool, nice truck. I like the look of that front bumper over the other ZR2 models. Wish it came in a manual though.

Sorry to see you go. Just curious what day you made your reservation?

 

[Monster1926]

Good for you. It’s nuts I keep seeing people go for the ZR2 over the gladiator.

P.S. SHARP LOOKING TRUCK!!!!

I like the look of the new ZR2's!!!

Good for you. It’s nuts I keep seeing people go for the ZR2 over the gladiator.

That Gladiator is a love/hate thing.

I think it's ugly AF.

We need a single thread for all the “I’m out” folks. You can even add a poll to it.

by the way , congrats on the pickup

Congrats on your new chevy.

I hope you had a 3rd hour rez or better, so I can move up a spot ?
I want a Bronco, not just something new to scratch an itch. I'm not going to be distracted by the bright/shiny offerings to be had elsewhere.

So for truth in advertising, other than a corvette or two I am not a Chevy guy. That said, Dude, your new truck is BAD ASS! Sorry that you are not getting the Bronco (this time around) but enjoy that new truck. It is awesome!

Yikes.

 

[PSUTE]

Congrats!!! We all have to get/build what works for us. Hoping your heart doesn't sink when you see your first Bronco in the wild though...

Ecoboost Mustang...

I don't need a special vehicle for work so I can wait and I'm just not a Chevy person. Enjoy your new truck! Year end is the best time to buy a new vehicle.
