We are long overdue for an update, but better late than never right?
06/25/21 Email
I'm sure most of you have received the email, but if you haven't here is a link to the active thread on Bronco6G from the email yesterday. Obviously some disappointing news for those wanting a painted hard top, and I can understand some running out of patience if that is a "must have" option for their Bronco.
I like to think I'm a glass half full guy and there is some positives in this email. First, there is a large number of people who have reached out to us before this email saying, "I would switch to the soft top, but not being able to get a hardtop later ruins it for me!" I'm glad Ford addressed this issue and I'd expect a much larger number of customers to switch their order to a soft top with the announcement of the hard top prep kit.
I have updated both of my orders from WT to these production friendly orders to try to get my personal reservations in sooner (I'm a late September reservation, so these aren't on top of the list). In my opinion, this is a nicely equipped Bronco and shouldn't have any constraints. In 2 years if I have 20,000 miles on it, I really am of the opionion that the resale value is going to be high enough that it is better to enjoy the Bronco for 12-18 months trade it in, and then get what I "really want" at a later date.
Pricing Update
1. I've Updated a few people that have reach out and we are absolutely honoring our pricing. If you decide to switch to a soft top for an earlier delivery, decide to wait for a 2022 for a MIC or hold off for a 2023.
2. $2000 off Invoice pricing - This is our current pricing offer. This offer will run through the end of July and then we are going to end this special. So if you are on the fence that gives you a definite time and then we are going to focus on orders after that date and managing our existing reservations. We will still be aggressive on price, but we are going to revert back to our $1000 under invoice for August 1st and moving forward.
What the future holds for Granger Ford
We have had a little bit of restructuring with our staff. As many of you know Albert has been the catlyst for a lot of our involvement on the forum. He has had to take on less responsiblities at this time with our store. I won't go into the details, but I have nothing but positive things to say about him, he's still employed with us and is an important part of what we do, but we've had to reorganize what we do. This is part of the reason we haven't been as prompt with updates.
Upfits - A big part of what our store does is custom upfits. We don't have a lot of vehicles on the ground currently but leveling kits, lift kits, supercharger kits are a big part of what we do customizing F-series, Ram Trucks, Mustangs, Wranglers, etc. Needless to say, we are very excited to get our hands on a Bronco here shortly and be able to put some of these packages together!
Lastly, I can't go into detail, but we are working on making the experience special for those of you who take delivery at our store. We're waiting to receive Ford's blessing but we will update as we know more on that!
We have received a lot of email on the Friday afternoon email from Ford (6/25) and our staff is currently out of the office and will do our best to make any ajustments/changes to your order once they get back into the office on Monday. Thanks for your patience.
Appreciate you all!
