2021 Wildtrak without Front & Rear lockers

[Jazer]

In our private thread, I mentioned this back in July of this year. The ME WT is basically a Big BenDiamond mash up. They don't get tinted glass, they get the BD upgraded wheels, etc.

I missed that. Interesting!

To the OP, here is your ME WT marketing material.

what content shows up when you run your VIN through the ford VIN decoder?

But I didn't think Ford was exporting Broncos outside of North America, Pierto Rico, and other US territories? OBVIOUSLY i was wrong. Yea looks like different packages for different countries.. sorry about that.

It’s right on your window sticker. My friend you have been taken does the vin on the window sticker match the vin on the vehicle? It wouldn’t be the first time someone was given the wrong vehicle at a dealership.

Check the bold above that it says "standard equipment list may not apply outside CONUS"

You haven't been bamboozled. The WT sold in the Middle East is different than the WT in North America. You read the wrong marketing material.

I guess I found that out the hard way

Ford has had some QA issues for sure but one would hope that it is not THAT bad.

SAS and BL trims are the only ones with lockers. Seems like you didn't get one of those unless it really is that different between countries.

Everyone quit insinuating that Ford made a mistake. The ME WT is nothing like the NA WT. He received what he ordered. Ford builds a different Bronco with the same nameplate based on the region's specs.

Thing is I'm not sure why Ford allowed the dealership here to get this configuration. Especially with us here actually living in a desert, the lockers are really important.

I didn't buy the car directly from the dealership, but at a showroom, hence why I said "imported by a local dealership", and basically took what the window sticker said as truthful.. I didn't notice the disclaimer about vehicles outside continental US being different

In any case, I'm trying to understand what my options are? Is there any way where I can get the factory lockers installed?

I found these online: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-4000-446B

but that seems like an "upgrade" over what comes as standard?

It appears the 4 door WTs are equipped a bit more "accurately". I'm sure you could look into selling it/trading it on one that fits your preferred specs. Are they as desirable out there as they have been here? Could you make back what you paid for it? I guess this is a good reminder to really inspect a vehicle and research it before signing on the line. Sorry you had to find out the hard way :-\

The demand for the vehicle here is insane, I couldn't directly get it from the dealership, that's why I got it at a showroom.
I'm sure I could sell it, and try to find a US imported spec, or go for the local 2022 4-door Wildtrak which is more in-line with what I wanted, but I'd be shelling out a lot more $$$ in the process.
I'm trying to figure out if I can re-fit the vehicle, and if it's worth doing so.

I have a feeling locker options will be hitting the market in time for those of us without them. Just be patient and don't get yourself in a pickle in the mean time. I know ARB has an airlocker coming out/recently released and there will likely be others.

I ended up getting myself in a pickle last weekend, hence my frustration
