Going to the Sand Dunes in Western Michigan is closer than Moab.

That's my plan!

So I've been thinking about something. (In my house, this is usually met with or "uh oh", so bear with me! )

Yesterday or maybe the day before - I can't find the posts to tag specific group members - several people were talking about the need to set a date to abandon their reservations because they need new vehicles. Some time ago, Ford was supposed to be giving dealers money to share with reservation holders as they saw fit. Some dealers took a bunch of their customers to the off-roadeo, some have given out backpacks of goodies, etc. I also read that the money could (arguably better) be used to help reservation holders who needed a little vehicle help to get to delivery - maybe help with a new set of tires, etc. I personally haven't seen any incentive from my dealer - and no communication beyond what I solicited - but maybe others have.

Could your dealers help out with a loaner or money toward a rental? A set of new tires or a new battery (as someone posted a need for)? It just feels like we are so close to the finish line, but if your current vehicle is at the end of the road or if you already sold yours and can't hold out much longer, maybe this program could help.

We have all been frustrated with our dealers, but maybe they are frustrated, too, and would be happy to be able to give a customer what they need when they can't give information or a timeline.

Just my 2c, but maybe it might help someone.

Update: pizza tracker EDD now matches reservation tracker. Different Friday, otherwise SOS.

If either the Escape or Bronco don’t come in by mid Feb, I may need it.

Maybe I can pick up my Bronco on the way...

Sadly no shipped email for me today. Ho hum

Not sure I saw anyone get a shipped e-mail today.

I just saw someone on the 1/3 build week get a shipped status to my same dealer. WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK.

@Ford Motor Company have you guys ever heard of the concept 'first in first out"?

 

[sheiswoodsman]

random question, for those with 2drs, does the driver side have the same front seat fold and slide that passenger side has. I have a tight garage so my kids will likely get in on my side. nothing to do with 12-6ers, but figured we had a lot of eyeballs here

Yes it does

That is some serious bullshit

That sucks and sounds exactly like my Dealer. It’s a headache for sure.

I want to go in to my dealer this weekend and get some kind of purchase price agreement so I can figure out financing from my bank since I just shipped this week but am afraid to “bother” them before my Bronco gets there. Also gotta tell them not to drill for the front license plate. Don’t know what to do yet…

Anyone got some advice? Thanks.

My dealer told me if I was financing it had to be through Ford's financing, that they don't accept financing from outside banks as they have had issues with the timing of the $ clearing. Seems like bullshit to me but everything with this process has been ridiculous so it's hard to know what to think.

ETA just got pushed back yet again from 2/1 to 2/3.

A friend in my small town just got his Bronco. 12/13 week build. Happy for him but man….

Your dealer is trying to bend you over. That is not true at all.

Got my "Shipped' email at 3:48am CST. 1 step closer!!!! EDD is still 1/30-2/5 and that seems possible.... I a finally getting excited again about this Bronco. Can't update the tracker, my work computer locks me out of editing Google forms.

Do you have soft top or MIC?? Maybe there is hope for the OBX
