This add showed up in my inbox this morning, from my local dealer. I had originally placed my order from then on Day 1, but switched to Granger on day 2.
Notice the $12K in additional dealer markup. This was probably ordered by some poor schmuck who had to wait two years like I did and then got...
Sure I have regrets:
I regret that I have already put 8500 miles on it since I picked it up in August. Picking it up in Granger IA and driving it home to Washington State might have something to do with that. But I don't regret the road trip. Wifey and I had a great time and took a whole week...
The only options I ordered were the V-6 automatic, the sound deadening head-liner, and the tow package. Even though I dropped the tow package the week before I was notified my order was set for production, I just noticed that it is still included on the Ford.com order summery. So maybe that did...
So Ford never actually "notified" me. The first word I had was an email from Granger saying I had two days to pay a $400 deposit in order to lock in my order. That got me wondering, so I used the Ford.com "backdoor" link to check on my order, and was pleased to see that production had been...
I too received notice last week of a June 6 week build date . 7/15/2020 order date through Granger.
Black Diamond 2-door with the big engine and not much else. The week before I dropped the towing package hoping that might speed things up. Guess it did. . .
I think Granger did a great job communicating, considering all the orders they took. Zach or Hunter promptly answered every question I sent via email about the status of my order. They were very honest and upfront about the situation when Ford cut their deliveries, saying I might have to wait...
Well, two weeks ago I dropped the towing package from my order after reading the May update from Granger. I was just over 100 on their list. Last week I was notified by Granger and Ford that a VIN number had been assigned and production scheduled for the week of June 6 for my Bronco. Cause and...
I just did the same thing today on my Black Diamond order. While not making any promises, Hunter at Granger said that "its a much better deal to take off the towing for sure."
At this point I would consider taking off my left nut if it would get my Bronco built and delivered any faster.
Zach- I just found this thread. The order list is now a month old. Can you please provide an update periodically? It will save me from having to bug Hunter so much.
My takeaway from this article: FORD stands for Fu**ed Over Rural Dealerships
Just checked in with Granger, and I am now 105 on their list. I was at 129 back in early December, so I moved up 24 places in 4 months. At that rate, I should get to the top of the list by Fall of 2023!
On the other...
I made a pre-order with a local dealer here in Washington State this morning. They contacted me shortly after that to confirm. My first question to them was about their pricing and if they were going to charge a mark-up fee. Still waiting to hear back on that.
Then I found this forum and...
