That’s because they quietly changed the Terms and Conditions after initial reservations went in. Ford could make the right PR move and stick by original reservation holders. They created the reservation system and continued to let reservations roll in for nearly two years. Ford also never...

Thanks and I understand your position. Ricart wants $114,000 for a First Edition.

So who are the largest in the Great Lakes region? Top five is fine. Just curious how they are handling things. Thanks!

I hear you. I have an early reservation as well. Weighing my options at the moment. May just buy something else and do a wait and see. Ford really bungled this whole reservation system mess. One of the worst new vehicle rollouts that I can remember and I've been in the automotive corporate side...

looked through 10 pages of posts and multiple searches and haven’t found this anywhere…. Is there a list of the top 50 Ford Dealers by sales volume? TIA.

You've been presented with facts numerous times and you choose to ignore them. I'm not sure if you have an axe to grind with certain dealers or what your motivation is exactly. Ford Motor Company built the system that everyone used to place a reservation and then changed course without accepting...

There have been numerous screen shots showing the original Terms and Conditions and the changed Terms and Conditions. Ford Motor Company knew in the first 24 hours where orders were going and how many they received and shared some of those numbers with the press. After over a year of taking...

You have your dealership viewpoint. At the corporate level Ford knows this is their responsibility. - Ford created the reservation system. - Ford collected $100 from customers for a reservation slot. - Ford let those customers choose the dealer they wanted to conduct the purchase with (as...

I'm at a loss as to why the percentage of blame here matters in the least. I've worked on the corporate side of the automotive industry my entire life. I know the inside baseball and all the warts that go with it. 98% of consumers don't. Customers went to the Ford Motor Company website, gave...

It doesn't matter what you said honestly. Ford Motor Company created a reservation system that in exchange for $100, let you reserve a Bronco and pick the dealer you wanted to purchase it from. No consumer would have a reasonable expectation to think otherwise. Clearly we are now seeing Ford...

First potential Ford for me and my family. Granger was the dealer I chose when I made my reservation. It is really simple. Ford took reservations online allowing customers to choose the dealer they wanted to purchase their Bronco from. Ford created the system. Ford utilized the system. Ford...

It is really simple. Ford took reservations online allowing customers to choose the dealer they wanted to purchase from. Ford created the system. Ford utilized the system. And Ford should follow through with existing reservation holders. Period. Full stop. Ford can draw a line in the sand and...

Quoting this because it is important. The roof bending claim in the article is attributed to a website called Bronco Bastards - not Ford employees.

Hello Brad and Co!

Packey Webb allowing people to drive demos?

Other manufacturers design their door stop mechanisms to be installed after paint. This allows the robots in paint to open the doors wider than normal and paint the jambs correctly and thoroughly.

Might be, but the answers are better than “no”, “can’t comment on future products”, or nothing at all. 😁

It’s not the “standard reality” for all manufacturers. I’ve worked for four different manufacturers (and consulted with more) my whole life, and some do it far better than others on cars that cost half as much. I’ve noticed in the past year with both the Bronco and new Corvette that are...

Just some expectations setting on how these “First Drive” launch events go.… Reviewers only get 1.5 to 2 days to drive the vehicle on roads in and around whatever given city the event takes place. Plus very often, reviewers are paired up with someone, so your actually seat time is limiting...

There are a ton of moving pieces behind the scenes that none of us have all the details on. One example is allocations. Over the years one of the unofficial ways a manufacturer can leverage a dealer is via allocations. I say unofficially because there is a lot of legal red tape “protecting”...
