Backdoor link: Scheduled today for Aug 1 build!
7/23/2020 reservation. Was about 51st at my dealer in 2021 (when builds first began). About 30th at my dealer at end of 2021 and 8th about a week ago.
Badlands, chili pepper, Sas, Lux, trailer, (changed to softtop in Feb 2022)
My Credit Union rate on new car purchase is still 1.99%.
How did I become a member of that CU??? When I bought a car at a Ford dealer years ago, the finance manager opened the account for me with a $25 deposit.... No other credentials were needed. I've joined several CU's over the years to get...
Change the model to fit the budget and upgrade parts as the budget allows. Most can't tell what model you are driving... The Bronco, unlike Jeep, doesn't scribe the model in huge letters on the hood. Bronco's badging is so subtle I often struggle to tell which model I see when passing on the...
Meanwhile... back on topic.... It was actually a nice recovery. We all know the tie-rod is a weak link and they even mentioned it on the ride out saying the parts are back ordered. Thus, you can't carry an extra while out wheeling. It was a great field recovery from wiring up to vehicles in...
No brainer... release the vehicles.
A seat heater is not gonna do anything to fix how cold my wife is... Yeah, i meant that just like you read it....Besides, Spring is around the corner and if I need to heat up her ass, the aftermarket sells seat heaters for $50... Serious, they are reliable...
If I don't take delivery of the Bronco by Fall of 2022, the "matter of principal" tips the scale away from ever dealing with Found Off Road Dead... forever.
Instead I'll wait on one of these:
next gen 4Runner....
next gen Fghey...
Or just bite the bullet and invest in a killer toolset and sat...
They look great!
Any chance you could haul one of those 4 doors off-road. I'm looking for a slider that blocks mud/rocks from hitting the door panels. Or, at least, blocks the majority of the stuff those tires through off.
If you know and trust your dealer (i.e. no history of nefarious behavior to reservation holders) then call and ask what your options are... Assuming you put $1000 down when you placed your order....and would like to see that money refunded, they might be willing to work with you.
I'm reserved...
Don't want to sound harsh but you were notified. We were all notified from Ford directly on the actions being taken for open orders. If you failed to reach out to your dealer, the conversion to 22MY was one of those default actions. During the actual order process, most dealers asked for more...
I've only seen the 'rendered' and Ford.com pics of Hot Pepper Red. Has anyone seen one on the streets or in on a YT channel?
Also, has anyone received notification their order is being fulfilled (in that color)???
Very sad that she died.
Unfortunately for her, mass wins... always. You can lobby and advertise all you want about efforts to improve safety, but you can't change science...
Glad it all worked out in the end and that the dealer made good on their commitment. Although I feel Ford needs to be a better liaison in these issues. Other national brands hold their franchises accountable to corporate customer satisfaction policies and standards. e.g Chick-fil-a, Craftsman...
Can relate as my wife leaves every mirror pointing at herself mostly everytime I get in my Ford 4x4....Not something I have to contend with in other vehicles (Cadi, BMW, et at)
In the Bronco, I'll just have to deal with it. In my case its a purpose built vehicle I'll use for overlanding...
Have you seen the build you just described in these 30+ pages of content? Not sure what top you spec'd.
I haven't seen a 4D Lux Sas Badlands softtop with a post day-one or day-two reservation in this thread but admittedly did'nt read every post...
If that's the case, they might be sticking...
Reminds me of the 1970's era NHTSA laws that required Lambo, Porsche, and Mercedes to add bumpers as they were imported into the USA...
only slightly detracted from their looks..... <sigh>
