Breaking news: January ordering, Summer delivery, Black First Edition interior, no manual Sasquatch & more

[ClaviusBase]

Was really hoping they would as I wanted the Wildtrak but just can't do that interior. Was kind of execting the time line changes, don't really have a problem with that.

honestly, if they added all black to the wild track, it'd be such an easy choice.

A little more time to bank $$$ toward the down payment = less cash toward interest ... fine with me

So that is the question - if we want to slip to MY 22, how do we do that?

If we switch to Granger or Stephens for a locked in price deal - then we risk the allocation model. If we stick with the local guys (not change) and then wait for the MY 22 window, we're at their "mercy" on pricing, but will be more able to get into line when the time comes ...

I wasn't going badmansquatch, but I sort of flipped based on the wheel offset specs of the optional badlands wheels and the clearance for wider tires. (I could always run 30mm spacers, but there is always hope for the white roof in MY 22.)

Easy. Order a bunch of late delivery items

The upside is the down payment will be...

HUUUUUUGE!
?

You know what? I ain’t even mad. Just more time for me to save up. Aside from 4dr, A51 and Hardtop I have no clue which trim I want.

I have a 7/16 reservation date.
It would be kinda nice to take delivery by mid-August, since that would be during my 60th birthday, but if it slips it’s not the end of the world.

That’s my hope but my Dealer- granger has 100s of orders... I’m not sure how the ordering will go as far as who gets priority at the order window

It doesn't matter if you are the first to get your order into Granger or the last as long as you get it in before the ordering deadline. Your dealer does need time to make the order, so I wouldn't wait until the last day, especially with number of orders that Granger will be making. The production of the vehicle will be based upon the original reservation. If you know what you want, get your build in early so they have time to process it.

Everyone needs to relax, Ford has only been building vehicles for 117 years, you can’t expect them to get this right the first time.

Fordpass points are given with every new sale that you activate the model (smartphone remote start features). They give 42,000 points (they give more for diesels). That equals $210. You can use them for maintenance or accessories. No idea how many extra points this will give people. Last year for black Friday Ford gave double points, so that would be my guess.

Ever wonder why the sales person/dealership pushes so hard for you to activate Ford Pass? They'll know everything about you, your car and your driving habits. Might even use it to deny a warranty claim or given to the attorneys in a lawsuit. Not a conspiracy theorist, but they have to pay me a whole more than $210 for that info thank you.

As my Dad taught me, “Just relax and enjoy.” I, for one, am really enjoying the experience of this forum and the adventure of new revelations, etc. it’s a great break from ordinary life.

 

[Southside_Ray]

Well there goes my dream to get it while it's still warm(ish) out..

 

[mikeheel]

Well, 2020 marches on. This delay wasn't entirely unexpected, but I get why some folks are frustrated. I'd love to have a new Bronco sitting in my garage right now, but that ain't happening. No big deal; I can still drive my Subie. I do hope that Ford is going to lean in a bit more with ongoing official communication about the Bronco. I think that will help some of the unease folks are feeling.

I agree Ford pretty much ought to scrap the 2021MY at this point and just make them all 2022MY. That may also simplify the ordering process.

Other changes I'd like to see:

• Ventilated seat option (leather and MGV)
• Power seat option for MGV (already an option for leather)
• Black interior option across all trims
• Ability to order sound-deadening roof liner with any configuration
• Ability to order roof rack with any configuration

If I remember others, I may add them here later.

 

[Bronc-O]

Why couldn’t they offer an all black interior across all trims???!!! Wtffffff As if the FE has the only hideous interior!!!

Ford is listening, but they only heard the FE people asking for the black interior.

Yeah, would be nice if our reservation gave us a "not before" build date that we could then pick a date any time there or after. I was hoping an August delivery could make for a road trip with certain events going on at the time (though who knows if COVID will kill those ?). But if I wasn't going to get it until say October/November, I'd just as soon wait for a MY22 with hopes of a black or white or body-color top option.

I think we'll basically be clueless until May when we get the delivery window, by which time I would imagine we won't be able to do anything about it. Maybe I'll just have to plan a different trip.
