I know these are all first world problems, but this is tragic. Really really really bad look on Ford. At this point, there’s absolutely no way I will reward them with any sort of Ford purchase. 2020 res. What a joke.

Uh I’m aware. My statement(s) still stand.

Mike Levine speaks :

" The letter went to a small handful of people, Levine told Detroit Free Press. He did not provide specific data. "

" If we are not able to schedule a reservation or order for production, it will be canceled for the 2023 model year and their $100 reservation deposit will be refunded automatically, Ford spokesperson Mike Levine told Car&Driver "

A small handful... matches this part of the article as well...

"Now, Ford is going to force, in Ford's words, a "small number of existing Bronco reservation and order holders" who ordered but have not yet received their 2023 Bronco to choose among four options, none of which will result in these customers getting the vehicle they ordered."

Hang in there!

Is the 2.7 also a constraint?

From the article:
Ford spokesman Jiyan Cadiz told the Free Press on Monday. “While we’re working to deliver every Bronco, in addition to existing price protection, we’re giving customers the option to adjust their order from supply constrained trims and parts that include Wildtrak and its larger engine, Lux Package, and the molded-in-color hardtop.”

That's how I read it.

Global supply chain.... Hmmpf. I stopped hearing that excuse from every company except Ford....6 months ago.

After a 2 year wait, I finally cancelled my order and ordered a Land Rover Defender that is slated to arrive in 3 months. It is a little more expensive, but way more predictable. Too bad. Ford is losing money, especially from the folks who will be out of the market for 6-8 years.

Having waited two years,I can wait more,but no price protection is not right.Ford if they want loyal customers to stay they need to take care of us.

My MIC / Sas build literally got scheduled yesterday. Insane how close i cut that after 400 days.

And it still felt like a gut punch when i got the email this morning. If i wasn't scheduled i would just be looking elsewhere because i have zero desire for a soft top

Early res holdes and people with long orders got shafted hard. Which seems to be par for the course with Ford lately

Damn. I'm at 516 days and no update. I've built out three MY now.

Has anyone heard if they are scheduling any more builds this week. I am trying to keep hope alive with my WildTrak.

How do you cancel your order? FAQ says do it on the website

No doubt there’s good reasons for Sasquatch capabilities, but the standard BL is very capable off road as well, at least for my mixed use needs. Base BB, or OBX probably benefit more.

"The letter went to a "small handful" of people, Levine told the Free Press. He did not provide specific data." - Detroit Free Press

Wait, what? Only a "small handful of people" got the letter? Is that true?

Why did I get the letter? My 2-door base order (with no lux/sas) isn't even eligible for the $2500 incentive. So why did Ford send me the urgent letter, for an incentive I'm not even eligible for? Do I need to put Ford on my email spam alert, lol.

Ok, I must get back to being over this, like I was a week ago, before Ford starting spamming me.

(Disclaimer. Speaking as a Ford stock holder, everyone else should "stay strong" and spend, because "it's worth the wait".)

Yes, Stephens has 22 previewing today. Plenty of HE, manuals, and 2-doors but no Wildtraks.
