Fords still getting your money!!! Way to get at them lol

At what point in my statement did I say I was trying to get at them? I’m trying to get a vehicle. I like Ford so I’m not understanding your sarcasm. Troll elsewhere.

That was not a problem with generation, it was the feds denied the request to increase output for environmental reasons. I suffered through that and it made the COVID-19 infection I got a lot worse than it should have been!

So it wasn't the frozen nat gas power plants, or the windmills without de-icers?

I went and talked to the Jeep dealership a little while ago. They had no new Wranglers on the lot, and quoted me 60-90 days lead time on Rubicon orders.

After waiting over a year and a first 10 minute reservation holder, I suppose hanging in there is still my best option.

Looks like I’ll be making my Nov trip from Wyoming to PA with the wife and two dogs in my Ranger.
Ce La Vie.

I ordered a jeep yesterday. Was told it will be delivered in 4-6 weeks.

Logistics issues to Wy? That’s a pretty wide variance…..30-45 days vs 60-90 days.

Probably. Another dealer said 6-8 weeks when I was shopping around. Location and dealer are factors.

I was a week of 8/16 build (pushed from 7/19) and my dealer told me the system shows I got pushed back another week. Any official update on this yet?

All depends on how far away from Ohio someone lives...delivery times vary widely based on this factor.

I’m pretty sure Ford has kidnapped him and their HR department is making him watch “Do not leak information” videos over and over again.

Ya my dealer didn't look at the date closely enough, just got the email, got pushed 2 weeks to week of 8/30. Sure looks like there will be 2 weeks of shutdown....

Well hopefully it will be a productive 2 week shut down and they can move out all us that have been built and waiting on QC's.
