so shady. I think I'm done with Ford. I'm just going to leave my order as is. If it gets build and there is still a market it to flip it, I will, otherwise dealer can just keep it when it shows up.
It's not even the dollar amount for me, it's purely the principle. After waiting so long, and then this shady gamesmanship on pricing from Ford. Can't in good conscience give them a single penny.
When I was lurking on the 'other' 6G forum, the question of price protection came up. The reply from the moderators was that Ford will honor price protection if you're one of those that originally had it for '22/'23. The dealers will have to handle it in a special way, though.
Well that's what I can't seem to get a straight answer on...if adding HOSS triggers 2022.5 MY pricing. The Ford update email was a bit unclear, but did say "Changing your series, equipment package, number of doors, or 4x4 system will cause your order to update with new mid-year price levels." And in several places it refers to Wildtrak with HOSS as a 'special addition'. To me that reads like price protection is out the window if you select HOSS and your order triggers 2022.5 MY pricing. So that's 2,515 for HOSS, 1,750 MY increase, that's 4,265 right there, and I have tube doors which will go from 1,300 to 1,800, hence the essentially $5k increase.
My understanding from that email was also that it was a 'special edition' and possibly a limited run. It made me lurk the 'other' forum and the question about Hoss 3.0 pricing came up.
With everything I have seen and read there is absolutely no way to know when you will get your Bronco. I have seen people get one only 2-3 months after ordering with no reservation, but we obviously still have day 1 reservation holders with no clue when they will get theirs. Best you can do it check in with your dealer once a month and scroll through the forums wishing and hoping.
The biggest thing to think about is whether your pop up will weigh enough that it will have/you will want trailer breaks on it.
Shocking Ford's supply chain was this fragile. The Veep of Supply Chain, will be in the Hall of Fame for business failures. What's interesting/funny, is that the previous CEO's "expertise" was supposedly Supply Chain. I suspect he had a big part in F-ing this up.Ford has sent a communication to dealers highlighting a variety of solutions and updates pertaining to Bronco order holders.
Can we add the Hoss 3.0 option to our wildtrak orders starting tomorrow?
Criminal is more like it! They will steal your reservation so be careful!
