My bronco was built on 3/16, dropped off at the dealer on 4/2, and I was able to pick it up on 4/4. 595 days from reservation to my driveway, and well worth the wait! Joe Machens Ford was great to work with!

Picked this Baddie up today. I’m in love!!!! Also I just want to say I was there for hours & hours fighting for the MY22.5 Price Protection that wasn’t showing up in Ford Vincent. Only the first price protection of $695 showed up. We were on the phone with Ford and they could see it in their system but it was not showing up at the dealers. I’m a July 2020 reservation holder. It was brutal and probably the worst experience after waiting for almost 2 years for my Bronco. They wanted me to come back on Monday to finish the sale bc they were waiting for a big boss at Ford to call back. I spent a total of 6 hours at this dealership today. We were not leaving without my Bronco. Winded up eating the 1,750. What a let down. I hope everyone has a better experience with this. I hope I get a check in the mail but I won’t hold my breath.

I guess so…those were his exact words!
A dealer can pick it up themselves. It just depends on the location. My Bronco is at Alliance waiting on a truck. Dealers can’t pick it up from Alliance.

I had a similar experience with the price protection despite having a well documented reservation - none of the systems tied it back to me or my order. Super long and frustrating day for me too at the dealer with the same outcome of walking away without all the money that I was due. Don’t let Ford’s poor handling of this process ruin the joy. Congrats on delivery - looks awesome!Picked this Baddie up today. I’m in love!!!!

Sorry for those who are having trouble with the price protection. I outlined the key points too many pages ago as chompsticks did too. We were always going to be the guinea pigs for the 22 --> 22.5 price difference. If you have a dealer that has honored their commitment so far, then trust that the remuneration will also be followed through. Keep in mind that there were some buyers in early January who had problems with the Smart Vincent rebates for 21 --> 22 price protection. They eventually have received the proper credit and the process is streamlined. Eventually, the 22 --> 22.5 price protection will also be streamlined. Unfortunately, that won't be for a few weeks. Sadly, no sooner will the process be streamlined when the MY'23 price protection is introduced.
Trust the process, but don't let the price difference detract from your Bronco ownership.
