I don't think you are in the minority for liking sticks, at least on this forum, but I do think you are in the minority for thinking Jeeps current offering is more compelling than Bronco's.If they are shooting for rubicon with the badlands how do they not offer a 6 cylinder manual like Jeep.. Blows my mind. I know I am in the minority of loving sticks but to me they are so much more fun to drive.
How do I move a reservation?
A Ford rep has confirmed you will be able move it and they are currently working on a process to do that.I'm not 100% positive but my understanding is you can't move it, you would have to cancel and place another with another dealer (after calling to confirm if they're doing markups, etc). I know it's a huge pain...Ford's website under reservation FAQs was pretty clear about the reservation being you buying a vehicle from the dealer, not from Ford, so it makes sense you'd have to can the whole thing and start again somewhere else.
You can get a manual Bronco though.Might go with a Rubicon now since I cannot get a manual bronco. I going to have to think about it I been waiting for bronco to come out to replace my wrangler, But no stick to me is a no deal ???
Manuals are a PITA.
My margarita blender is more powerful that that Penstar POS...and more reliable.The 4 cylinder turbo is more powerful than the Jeep V6.
Holdback, accessories and high interest rates will keep them in the $$.So with ~200K orders, let's say ~100K follow through. How is that going to sit with dealers who want the Bronco today, because they can sell it, but are being asked to wait for 100K to be built and delivered to people who reserved and hope to pay x-plan pricing?
Can you get the Rubicon with an MT and 35s?Give me Badlands, 7MT, Sasquatch with locking front and rear diffs, and 35's.....and you have my business. If not, the Rubicon is just around the corner.
