Got my “Panama” in May of 22. It’s a 22 BB 2.7 w 4.27, rear lock diff, fr bash plate, mod bumper. Did one rear seat delete for fishing gear, Diode Dynamics amber lights, 33s, bestop soft top, black diamond grille, tailgate table, hood decal, hood struts, custom sunshade, and lots of other little...
“We are aware that some customers who placed orders at certain dealerships may be waiting longer than expected. We are investigating why this has occurred at a limited number of dealerships.”
Bold.
Many have already noted spot-on thoughts about how Ford flipped the table halfway through the...
Great info. I plan to have a 2DR with a bestop soft top, eventually. My hope is to have it down to a system to swap soft and hard top between seasons. From this, it sounds like as long as I have the parts and a little time, it should not be a huge deal. Correct? Thx.
Assumes all orders will be fulfilled in the year. No.
Does not account for those jumping ahead of reservation holders, consuming production.
Applaud the effort but not enough data to be useful. Those with reservations at select dealerships are not going to see their orders this year. They will...
Gotta say a lot of us reservation holders have patiently waited, removing items to up our chances, checking their bs order page day after day… and probably had real hope this was the round to finally get a vin. Nothing. Every non reservation order that jumps ahead is infuriating. It is...
Those that were offering under msrp or at invoice knew they would get many orders and from those orders, a % of cancellations they could do whatever they wanted with. Once the wheels were set in motion and 3+ dealers appeared to be hogging the orders over the flagship Ford dealers, Ford flipped...
This is the result of Ford’s lack of foresight and control. I am hoping folks are putting in multiple orders so when this happens, they can walk away to another dealer. Non reservation holders are jumping in anyway, so at this point, we’re just embracing the chaos. Sorry you are going through this.
1) Levine’s posts are a waste and, like Ford, could give two farts to the wind about our reservations.
2) The apologists here trying to make this goat rope look like it is all due to covid and supply need to just give it a rest. you are too blind to see how Ford has created a chaotic process. I...
So I guess I shouldn’t worry that my account says I’m ordering a 2.3 BL rather than a 2.7 BB. It’s never been right. I imagine once I get a Vin, maybe things will get updated. Wish this whole process actually worked correctly.
Glad this worked out. The moral of the story is Ford Brass doesn’t mean shit (no surprise) or care, lawyers don’t scare them, but nailing their online reviews with the help of many might give you a fighting chance.
Excellent observation - probably the case/ a root cause. Ford brass is too dumb to forecast how their dealers and customers will respond to the chaos they create.
Maybe we all need to just put in multiple orders. Do them at different dealers, different colors, maybe change an option or two, and see which one gets here first. The original orders we’ve been waiting for since the beginning, if not forgotten and actually appear, can be flipped or left to the...
8/20 reservation and finally got an order email!!! Problem: not my fn order. So whoever is getting this one, guess I’ll get your vin, updates, photo… while nothing happens on my actual order… unless it’s getting built secretly and someone else is getting my updates. Almost so exciting! Thanks...
The CO is a prototype I saw at a car show last year. The red hard top basesquatch is a dealer demo I drove. The rest are from the Austin Off Roadeo. I drove a BB Sasquatch 2DR (cactus gray) soft top all afternoon and LOVED it. Highly recommend getting to Off Roadeo while you wait. My build will...
It wasn’t a risk under the original allocation. That’s the point. If they are going to keep moving the goal posts, forget it. Every customer that went to these dealers had a deal that worked with Ford at that time. So many morons were saying the deal was fake and we were stupid going for...
Nice. I started to but given the crap shoot this has become thanks to Ford, I’m learning not to buy anything specific to the model year because god knows when the hell I’ll see my Bronco. It would be sad buying fender deletes for a 2021 that may not fit your actual 2027 Bronco.
You really don’t know much but don’t let that stop you from giving an opinion. Go to Stephens site and read all the clear cut info they gave… and find any big Ford dealer that is that up front in writing. I went to several and they all played games. There was an allocation system and Ford...
