Ohh Ford, you never cease to disappoint. I saw today was August 14 so I hopped on to the forums to see if maybe I could swallow the pain and order a new 2 door / manual Badlands to replace my ordered vehicle, even if I had to pay $5-6k more. The MSRP is more like $10k more and you can't even buy...

Whoa, CMC! I wonder if I knew your son. I graduated about ten years ago. I sure do wish I'd had a 4x4 when I was in college/living out in that area. There's a shocking amount of good roads and trails connecting all the spots, as you mentioned.

I believe they are saying dealers aren't offering hugely marked up "trade in values" to people who own Braptors and want to flip them to dealerships.

If you want a truly shocking look at what's out there, filter cars.com or autotrader by 2-door, Badlands, manual transmission. New or used, they're arguably harder to find than Ferraris!

Great and very realistic writeup! My experience in my extended test drive of an ordered 2 door manual Badlands is very similar. It's easy to say the noise "isn't that bad" but it definitely is. My ex had a JLU Wrangler hard top and it was much quieter than even the 2 door Bronco with its...

Are these the stock Badlands 33s? They look chonky here!

Love it out there, pretty much my favorite place on the planet. Great place to take a Bronco, especially a two door.

Ford has shown multiple ways now that it would rather sell broncos at the latest MSRP to new customers than to honor existing reservation holders, Price Protection, etc. Sad but true. Hopefully your dealership has answers for you!

Sadly this seems to be Ford's policy of late. Dealership tells you to call the hotline, some hourly employee tells you to talk to the dealership, you beg, you plead, they sigh, they read a different script, you go back to the dealership, they tell you to call the hotline. It does seem like...

Yup. I've about given up on buying a Bronco for this reason. It's a bona fide enthusiast product but my enthusiasm for the brand is so low that I'd feel conflicted giving Ford my hard-earned dollars at this point. I know they don't care because they've got more orders than they can fill (for...

It seems like they are slowly phasing out all forms of customer support -- from people on the phones who only read a script about "talk to your dealer" even when the problem is WITH the dealership, to Ford making the process for dealerships to uphold their end of the bargain as asinine as...

I am also getting the runaround from Ford "Marketing" / customer support. "We see your certificate but we cannot modify it or help in any way, that is for you and the dealership." I talk to the dealership(s) about it and they say, "We can see that you have a certificate but we cannot use it."...

Does anyone have verified proof of using their Model Year Transition (22 to 23) price protection on a vehicle other than the one they ordered? The certificate is tied to my name/address but the vehicle I ordered was sold before I could buy it. Every dealership and "Ford Marketing" rep has...

It sold (not to me) that same weekend before I could go see it.

Now THIS is the kind of content I look for in the communities I frequent. 🧘🏻‍♂️

Nah, I really will give them a call. Lots of helpful posts and DMs here really do remind me why I want to be a part of this community in spite of all the heartache. Your line about dealerships being fun to talk to was good for a laugh but I digress. A few good salesmen have messaged me here...

Correct. And all the rest have 5-10k markups and won’t get within 3-4k of the trade in offer I had. After a couple of weeks of losing sleep and talking to Ford for WAY too many hours, the bronco dream is going gently into that good night..

That last line was great for a laugh. I placed a deposit for a Rivian R1T the same time as I ordered my Bronco. Figured one of these vehicles would pay for the other. With the EV tax credit and Rivian price protection (which is honored no matter what and there are no shady dealerships to...

That or they just keep screwing people over until they acquiesce to Ford's Master Plan or go buy something else entirely...

It’s just sad we’re talking about these trucks like they’re f’kn Paint to Sample Porsches. Two years later and the disinformation and dealership extortion continues unchecked while Ford’s “communication guy” casually hints at the possible demise of the manual transmission in the Twitter DMs of a...
