Highly doubtful on LB. I do see the black interior being a possibility, though.
I suppose that's true.
Yup, since a situation where factories and businesses were closed for months couldn't possibly interrupt a production/launch schedule. Completely impossible! Also impossible they were overly optimistic in when they could get things back up to speed, and are having to backtrack.
Yeah, that's another route I didn't think of in my "potential solutions" post yesterday - they could just wire dual top ones for hardtops and then give you a soft top and get you your hardtop at a later date.
I let this one simmer. I’m definitely disappointed because I’m not going MIC Top. I’m sticking to the Painted MOD. I just wish they offered the option to get the dual top w/the ability to pick up the Modular Top at a later date, versus delaying my First Day Reservation to 2022.
Also, locking in the price is alright (even though they already made one price hike already) and $250 towards the off-roading academy, but man do I wish they’d give the people a little more than that, especially since they’re willing to give $1 Grand (+495 Sound) for people shifting to the MIC.
I feel like I’m just being discarded.
I understand we’re in a pandemic, and if these delays mean the factory workers and employees are executing on safe work practices, than I’m ok by that. To me, that’s far more important than getting my new Bronco a couple months earlier. I just wish they gave more consideration to the people who have been building their vehicle for almost a 1/2 year... got it exactly how they want, put their order in and suddenly got the rug pulled out from under them.
It feels very disingenuous to those who are sticking with and paying more for the MOD top
Jeep also didn't have to launch a completely new vehicle in the middle of global parts shortages.
Honestly, I'm guessing they're going to be producing reservations/orders for most if not all of the '22 MY anyway, so they're probably unlikely to wind up changing '22 pricing at all.Can Ford legally have two sets of invoice and MSRP prices for '22MY Broncos being sold concurrently? If they did a rebate to the dealer for the difference after the sale, there is no mechanism to know if they passed on the savings to the customer. I just don't see them trying to do a rebate to the customers after the sale, be a nightmare. Since a large chunk of the deals are based on the MSRP or invoice price points, I can envision a lot of dealers lining their pockets with this so called price protection BS. I fear the implementation of this, perhaps having dealers code in rebates at the time of sale for price differences will lead to widespread 'errors' that end up as an invisible to the customer ADM.
I'd think they have to, as dealers will need to be able to order replacements in the event of accidents and whatnot.
I just e-mailed my dealer to change my order to MIC only. If I later find out that I still won't get my rig until very late this year I might just change my order back to dual top, thus guaranteeing a MY22. Not that I care what model year I have, I just want to have it yesterday instead of tomorrow :-D
I ordered a 4Dr Base 2.7L Squatch after being firmly in the Badlands camp for months. In the end, I realized this was a much better deal imo AND I also thought what you said. Seeing how many people here were ordering the upper trims made me think being one of the few 4Dr Base orders would get me my vehicle quicker. We'll see!So what does that non-sense even mean, if you ordered a base model you get it but if you ordered any options...you have to wait. Solid
No, you’re right, definitely random number crunching.
While I agree with your statement, I can't imagine that is the Bronco Ford wants out in the public setting the impressions of the normies (non Bronco6G members)!
Correct...that's why the launched the Sport 6 months early
This true everywhere and I agree its far worse in aerospace, we call it the self licking Ice cream cone. Buddy at the top sees something he likes and says yes, then all his yes men agree (for fear of saying no) then all the middle management (who haven't worked on the plane in years) agree. It's only when they show up on the floor with the piece of equipment that has been bought & paid for do they find out form the worker bees that it won't fit and can't be done without redesign.
You can do exactly that.
I've seen a few posts of people finally giving in and cancelling their orders already. So a question for opinions...
