Keep seeing post on possible price increases for MY22.

[Bronc-O]

Typical, yes.

But most vehicles don’t launch with a few hundred thousand orders at the same time from customers who had been waiting a year + for their vehicle. Not saying it won’t happen, but this isn’t a typical vehicle launch.

To me, that makes it more likely there will be a price increase. Make hay while the sun shines.

They don't always go up. The Explorer had a price decrease across all trims for MY21. $540 for base and the higher trims are in the thousands less.

But the Explorer isn't a new launch. The Bronco is popular and they know they can increase the prices for the first few years.

I don't want Ford to open my Universal Garage!

I don’t even have my own garage. Or a driveway, for that matter. And I’m pretty sure the parking ramp isn’t going to let Ford open their train-crossing type barriers.

Well every car, truck, van, snowmobile and motorcycle I've ever bought has had a price increase from year to year. This will be no different.

Did you pre order? I ordered a motorcycle before the model was ever introduced just like the bronco scenario and there was no increase because we had a signed agreement. I don’t know the answer.

To me that makes no sense. Good luck explaining to your customers that after they ordered their vehicle and agreed on a price that they decided they couldn’t build it in time so now they have to pay more. I know GM did it with corvette owners but it doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.

The consumer in me wants Ford to honor what they have said. The realist knows they’ll do whatever they want because they’re a business and they don’t actually give a shit about you.

Technically, everyone that converts their reservation will lock in the price for a MY21 build order. If your order isn't built, you will need to resubmit a MY22 build order. At that time, you will lock in the price for a MY22 with a new agreement.

Now, Ford may honor the previous year's pricing, but they certainly aren't obligated to do so. If the terms for a MY22 build aren't agreed upon, you order will be cancelled and $100 refunded.

Some where a pre order. I think because of the popularity of the Bronco they will raise the price for '22. They already said if your order is not converted in '21 you will have to re-order in '22. I don't think they will jack up the prices to much but I fully expect some increase on a hot new product. It could be s could be a couple hundred to the msrp and another $50 on the destination charge. ?‍

It seems like a potential PR disaster if orders are placed and deposits are collected from 10s of thousands of people only to have Ford come back and request more money. Not that it is an apples to apples comparison, but how do some of the expensive sports cars that have year plus waits handle model year changes and price updates?

This happens when dealers sell vehicles without an allocation. If order slips to next model year, you typically pay the new price (or may cancel). If price increases in same model year (happens frequently), then you do not typically have to pay the mid-year price increases unless you change the order.

Also, Ford was very clear that a reservation is not legally binding in any way.

Be sure your dealer agrees to honor the same relative price if MY22 (e.g. invoice+X) even if you change options.

It was a new launch (new generation) for 2020. A launch that went really really bad. So, maybe there's hope for a Bronco price decrease after all.

Maybe we should stop giving Ford ideas.

Doh, I forgot it was a new launch. Hopefully you're right. Maybe a free SAS package for all! ?

 

[69351windsor]

Absolutely will go up. The '21 Bronco I have on reservation is going up daily!! But some of it is my own doing

 

[XCR440]

Price will go up, even on 21 orders, the price will likely be higher when it arrives than when you ordered. Usually they go up quarterly. If you get a 21, a sold order has price protection and the dealer will sell it at the original price and Ford will reimburse them (eventually). As to the one's that roll over to 22's, normally if you order and it doesn't get built, you have to reorder an the new prices the next year.

Fleet has some rollover pricing, but I've never seen it on retails, of course I've never seen a model that we know will have sales rolling to next model year before ordering of this year has even started so anything is possible, but my bet is you'll be paying more for a 22.

Isn't Ford already giving the customers a bunch of "sass"?

Maybe they can add some lube for "22.
