That’s a good looking Bronco. Too bad they put those goofy ass scripts on it.

Except that is what happened. As you said yourself, the majority of Bronco Raptors are going to the highest bidder. This is not what Ford said would happen, and the only reason they set it up that way was to avoid the obvious backlash about building these for dealer stock while people have...

You only say this because it worked out for you. Did you not see all the posts of people who got screwed out of their GT by dealer ADMs? I’m sure those folks are contented by your proclamation that it was all a relative success lol. Can we make a rule that you can’t regurgitate something we...

It already has the jeep wheels, just needs some cheap scripts and mud flaps, then Doug will make it a featured post.

We’re there 940 two door FE’s? I bet there were fewer two door AMB Sasquatch V6 of any trim combined. I could’ve had a FE but at the time it seemed like the Everglades does now, basically. No point if you know what you’re ordering.

Would you really, though? I’m in the position of having to decide between my 2 door Sasquatch V6 in AMB or the Raptor at MSRP, and it ain’t that easy. I get the two door first year thing but it’s a more difficult choice when you actually have the option than when you don’t.

The big part that you overlook is that there are more Raptors going to the people who walked in and paid than are going to early reservations. I’ve already detailed the math on this fairly clearly, but if you want to keep carrying water for Ford’s BS, by all means.

Did you not see the posts about GT holders who couldn’t or wouldn’t convert for different reasons? If the PR goal was a majority to early reservations, then in reality they sent 51% of the allocations to GTs and 49% to dealer allocation. The dealers recouped a bunch of those GTs (see paragraph...

You are right, it is BS. Most of these Raptors are going to the highest bidder, not early reservations. So this person is just plain wrong:

So you have an oil change reminder built into the vehicle, plus you already know that you want to change the oil at 5k regardless, yet you broke out the chalkboard for this one?

Ford does not care. Seriously. If Ford cared, then they wouldn’t have watered down the name match requirement. If Ford cared, then they would have made the Raptor hand-raiser allocations mean something more than ‘Your dealer can charge whatever they want and if you don’t like it then the...

I think you just wanted to start another thread about MPG, because you thought the other ten thousand threads on this weren’t enough. Or maybe basic arithmetic isn’t your thing.

Any further update on the success of this solution? I too have an intermittent front camera on an Outer Banks with the high package. Initially it only happened once a month or so, but now it’s finicky every single time I go to use the front camera.

That we shouldn’t carry water for Ford when we know better, namely that the handraiser program was just a PR stunt. It’s simply not true that the Bronco Raptors are mostly going to early reservations.

Two months? It took you two months to remove the panels? What we’re you doing for two months that was more important than taking the top off your new Bronco? Do you even like your Bronco? Remove the rear seats. Problem solved. Or keep them for the once-in-a-blue-moon chance that someone...

I’m glad not everyone here took the PR bait. Ford said a “majority” of Bronco Raptors would go to early reservations, but actually a majority of the Bronco Raptors are going to the highest ADM bidder. A lot of the GTs were “recouped” by the dealers who tacked on large ADMs to the GT and also...

I don’t think Ford actually cares who gets the GT Raptors, they just want to be able to say that a majority were offered to early reservations first instead of dealer stock.

I’ve always been a big supporter of public schools but when I see things like, “who’s Bronco is this?” I just want my tax money back.

Yeah the whole point of the handraiser program was so that Ford can placate the tens of thousands of people who would otherwise scream and rage about how long they’ve been waiting while Ford is using chips for a whole new Bronco instead. I think everyone can agree that Raptors going to dealer...

The hand-raiser allocations are for the people who Ford selected and sent the lucky emails to. Your reasoning here is what’s transferring the GTs to dealer stock, I suspect.
