purchasing question

[thomasj2352]

OK, so I think we found the vehicle to get, it seems as though it’s gonna take a couple weeks to get to the dealer then to us. Got a question one of the things the salesman said that if we get a aftermarket trailer hitch installed that it could potentially void the warranty if we have a transmission issue, does anyone have experience with that or can offer some insight please. Also included in the window sticker was an over. , does anyone have experience with that or can offer some insight please. Also included in the window sticker was a over $700 charge for a seven year subscription to the ford whatever communications a gizmo, my question is is it worth it cause right now that’s not something I wanna pay for.
Thanks for your input

An aftermarket trailer hitch won't negate your warranty on your transmission.

The Navigation/Connectivity won't be able to be removed as it is part of the As Built options from the factory. You might be able to cancel the service after purchase by contacting Ford for a refund. But I doubt they will be willing as that is how the Bronco was ordered.

the trailer hitch is not a factory add on , he hitch is installed at the dealer, The 7 year comm package is free for one year, after it is a subscription,

No, an aftermarket hitch will not have any impact on transmission or drive train warranty. Towing improperly, or beyond rated capacity, may, but the hitch itself does not. Be aware that if you choose to have an aftermarket hitch installed, you may still need the dealer to 'activate' the module so the lighting works properly.

The 7 year connectivity option is a fixed price. As mentioned, it's an option that was added in the original purchase order, so it comes with the vehicle. Long term, it saves you money if you will use the option and would have otherwise renewed annually. But if it's not something you want or will use, you'll want to search out a different vehicle.

Lastly, based on the little information you've presented, I would have concerns about doing business with that dealership or sales rep. Scare tactics and misinformation are huge red flags in my book.

Good Luck!
